Minecraft

Run a headless Minecraft server. More information: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorial:Setting_up_a_Java_Edition_server.

• Start a Minecraft server and generate a world if it doesn't exist:

java -jar {{path/to/server.jar}} --nogui

• Set the minimum and maximum amount of memory a server is allowed to have (Note: Setting them the same prevents lag caused by heap scaling):

java -Xms{{1024M}} -Xmx{{2048M}} -jar {{path/to/server.jar}} --nogui

• Start a server with a GUI:

java -jar {{path/to/server.jar}}

• Shut the server down:

stop
