Minecraft Server Recipe

Some rough notes on running a headless Minecraft server on Debian using tmux. This was written largely as a place to point those considering Flask Craft for info on the basic setup required/

Minecraft

Download the Minecraft server and get it setup where it suits you. For this gist we'll use /srv/minecraft. I'm writing this weeks after I did this myself, so I'm foggy on the details + other articles will offer greater detail if you need more info on how the actual server runs. I create a user (mc) and chown the whole directory for that unprivileged user to run the server.

# useradd mc
# chown -R mc:mc /srv/minecraft
