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 is a server mod that makes it very easy to install plugins. You can find a list of plugins at ![[WWW]](/wiki/modern/img/moin-www.png){kind=small}
http://dev.bukkit.org/. Beware as some plugins conflict with others. Poorly written plugins may 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
Located at /etc/init.d/minecraft and 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.
