This readMe file explains:

1. The contents of the project/repository
2. Contains instructions for setting up the minecraft server for the first time
3. For running the server regularly after setup

1. Project Contents

This repository holds all of the minecraft server data. This is all the files that hold what we've built in our world, what items our players have, and other server specific things such as the server plugins.

2. Setting up the Server

1. Download and Install Git
2. Download and Install Docker

Instructions for Windows continued:

3. Open a command prompt window (type cmd into search bar) Note: You may need to right click and open as an administrator
4. Type sysinfo and press enter. You should see a long list. In this list there is an item that should have firmware and virtualization or Hyper-V in the name. Check whether the item called something like Virtualization in Firmware is true or enabled. If it's false or disabled, you need to go into you PC BIOS. I (JattMones) am happy to help you with this part over the phone, it's not a bad idea to have a second oppinion before you change or click anything in the BIOS. Once this is set to true or enabled, continue with the set-up.
5. Open another administrative CMD window and type cd %user_profile%
6. Type mkdir minecraft_server and press enter
7. Type cd minecraft_server and press enter
8. Type git clone https://github.com/JattMones/minecraft_data.git and press enter
9. After this finishes type cd minecraft_data and press enter
10. Type git checkout master and press enter
11. Type git pull and press enter. Note: This first clone will take a long time to copy all server files 30-60min

YAY! You've successfuly have the server data! Now onto setting up a docker container to run the server
