sythatic / mcs-launcher

A minimalistic app to give you more control over the Minecraft server CLI

MCS Launcher

A simple script for launching and managing a Minecraft server from the command line interface.

Caution

DO NOT RUN AS ADMIN

Note

Initial Startup

• Prompts the user to specify the name and extension of the server's jar file or it's path.
• Prompts the user to allocate the minimum and maximum RAM for the server .
• Creates a folder named "mcsl" to store the config files.
• Stores the config information in the following files: core.json, min.json and max.json.

Normal Startup

• Reads the values from the json files and sets them as environment variables.
• Previews the server launch command.
• Prompts the user to start the server or edit the start parameters.
• Allows user to list installed plugins and the server.properties file.
• After the server stops, users can restart the server with the same or different parameters.
• The terminal will wait for user input before exiting the script.

Tip

• This script will technically work from any location, but it is highly recommended that you keep it in your server's root directory.
• If errors occur, simply enter "R" to reset the program.

Warning

Minor Issue After listing plugins or server properties, pressing enter without any input will loop the previous result.
