<br> <br><p><br> My oldest child was introduced to Minecraft recently. My son however, plays Bedrock Edition on an iPad and a game console. He prefers Java Edition on an older computer. He can launch it using his terminal! ) To play with each other, I looked into running an Dockerized Minecraft server on my home server and it was more straightforward than I anticipated.<br></p><br><br> <br><br><br><br> <br><p><br> Running a dedicated server<br></p><br><br> <br><br><br><br> <br><p><br> The server distribution that is officially available is one Java jar, which means it should be fairly easy to run. Before trying it, though, I searched for Docker images, and found a good one: itzg/minecraft-server.<br></p><br><br> <br><br><br><br> <br><p><br> You can start the container using a single docker run command and/or daemonize it. However, I've kept it simple with docker compose in byobu sessions.<br></p><br><br> <br><br><br><br> <br><p><br> Her
