Certainly! The itzg/minecraft-server Docker image provides a convenient way to set up a Minecraft Server. Here's how you can get started:

1. Install Docker:

   • If you haven't already, install Docker on your system. You can download it from the official Docker website.

2. Pull the itzg/minecraft-server Image:

   • Open a terminal or command prompt.
   • Run the following command to pull the itzg/minecraft-server image:

     docker pull itzg/minecraft-server
     

3. Create a Minecraft Server Container:

   • Once the image is downloaded, create a container using the following command:

     docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name minecraft-server -e EULA=TRUE itzg/minecraft-server
     

     • -d: Run the container in detached mode.
     • -p 25565:25565: Map the host port 25565 to the container port 25565 (Minecraft default port).
     • --name minecraft-server: Assign a name to the container (you can choose any name).
     • -e EULA=TRUE: Accept the Minecraft End User License Agreement (EULA).

4. Access Your Minecraft Server:

   • Your Minecraft server is now up and running inside a Docker container.
   • Connect to it using your Minecraft client by specifying your server's IP address (usually localhost if running locally) and port 25565.

5. Customize Your Server:

   • You can customize your server by modifying the container environment variables.
   • For example, to change the server properties, edit the server.properties file inside the container.

6. Managing Mods and Plugins:

   • The itzg/minecraft-server image supports automated downloads and cleanup of mods and plugins.
   • Explore the examples directory in the GitHub repository for more advanced configurations.
