My systemd user service for managing minecraft. I used with screen for years but now decided to ditch it in favor for RCON or ingame commands.
change directories and name accordingly.
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/
vim ~/.config/systemd/user/simplycreate.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user start simplycreate.service
systemctl --user status simplycreate.service| [Unit] | |
