=== Minecraft server config ===

Server running on walle-vm08 under user "minecraft". Main server files in /home/minecraft/Minecraft/. Related files in /home/minecraft/. Server should always be running in screen session "minecraft" if the init.d script is used (see below). Unfortunately the 32-bit JRE doesn't seem to want to know about memory beyond 2GB which will limit the number of concurrent users - currently set at 20. Steve is planning on setting up a 64bit VM so we can migrate over soon.

==== Bukkit ====

Bukkit makes it very easy to install plugins - just drop a .jar file into {{{~/Minecraft/plugins/}}}. List of plugins is at http://dev.bukkit.org/. Beware as some plugins conflict with others. Poorly written ones can lag or crash the server.

As of 2012/2/2 the server is running CraftBukkit recommended build 1.1-R3. The following plugins are installed:
 * Essentials-Pre2.8.2.2 (http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/essentials/)
 * CreeperHeal 4.3 (http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/creeperheal-nitnelave/)

==== init.d script ====
{{{/etc/init.d/minecraft}}} is a symlink to {{{/home/minecraft/minecraft-init/minecraft}}}. It's based on http://github.com/Ahtenus/minecraft-init. Should bring up the server on reboot (tested). Needed screen from apt.

arguments:
 * start
 * stop
 * update (updates minecraft and bukkit, seems to work though no updates have arrived yet)
 * overview skynet (generates map of "skynet" world in ~/map but takes the server offline during render and took several minutes when I tested it) 
 * help
 * rest of functions are untested, hope to test ramdisk soon

==== Overviewer ====
Generates the map files for web serving. I put up a demo at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/103004/map/index.html with the first couple of chunks. https://github.com/overviewer/Minecraft-Overviewer. Needed python, python-numpy, python-imaging, python-dev and gcc from apt to run.

==== Java ====
Currently using 32bit JRE from oracle until we migrate to a 64bit VM.
