SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires curl, python3, gpg, apt-get, g1gc java runtime, and includes scripts (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the hassle of manually installing Java, downloading the correct Minecraft server JAR, accepting the EULA, and wiring a stable persistent game server that keeps running across Zo reboots.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-command setup: Detects the latest Minecraft release and installs the required Java (via Adoptium), downloads the server JAR, generates server.properties, and creates an auto-start wrapper.
  • Persistent Zo service registration: Registers the server as a TCP user service so players can reliably connect using the returned tcp_addr.
  • Operational management commands: Provides status checks, log viewing, property edits, whitelisting, ops management, restarts, backups, and server updates.
  • Security-focused access control for offline mode: Works with online-mode=false and emphasizes using the whitelist to restrict who can join.

Quick Start

Ask an AI assistant to set up the Minecraft server by running the Skill’s setup flow, then register it as a Zo TCP user service and tell me the tcp_addr to share with players.

Frequently Asked Questions about minecraft-server

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a persistent Minecraft Java server automatically?▼

To set up a persistent Minecraft Java server, this Skill detects the latest release, installs the required Java runtime via Adoptium, downloads the server JAR, accepts the EULA, and generates server.properties with an auto-start wrapper.

How does Minecraft server whitelist management work with online-mode=false?▼

When running Minecraft servers with online-mode=false, whitelist management is enforced to restrict player access. The Skill configures whitelist and ops management directly through bundled scripts to safely control who can join the offline server.

Do I need to manually install Java before running a Minecraft server?▼

No, you do not need to manually install Java. The Skill performs automatic Java and version detection, provisioning the required Java runtime environment automatically during the first-time server setup process.

How do I backup and update a running Minecraft server?▼

You can backup and update a running Minecraft server using the Skill's bundled management script. It provides deterministic operational commands for creating server backups, applying version updates, and safely restarting the service.

What is the best way to expose a Minecraft server over TCP for player access?▼

The best way to expose a Minecraft server for reliable player access is registering it as a persistent Zo TCP service. The Skill handles this registration automatically and returns a tcp_addr to share with players.

What are the limitations of running a Minecraft server in offline mode?▼

Running a Minecraft server in offline mode (online-mode=false) bypasses official Mojang authentication, meaning the Skill must enforce strict whitelist controls to prevent unauthorized player access and protect server security.
