docker-compose for minecraft

This docker compose file spins up two Minecraft (Bedrock Edition - phones, ipads, consoles, windows 10) servers. One creative (port 19132, the default one) and one survival (port 29132).

I was surprised how easy it was because I've fiddled with Minecraft servers in the past a few times to varying degrees of success.

Now my niece, nephew, and I can bury ourselves in our iPads on christmas while we social distance. (And for those not traveling for the holidays - thank you! - hopefully this makes you feel a little more connected)
