fabric-minecraft-server

Set up a fabric Minecraft server and expose it to the internet with a playit tunnel.

Setup

1. Create a playit account.
2. Run start-tunnel.sh and follow the instructions to set up a tunnel.
3. In the playit website, create a new tunnel with the Minecraft Java (game) Tunnel type.
4. Take note of the public address of the tunnel. This is the address you will give others to connect to your server. It should look something like x.y.z.ply.gg:12345.
5. Add the tunnel to the agent you created in step 2.

Usage

Run start-tunnel.sh and start-server.sh in 2 separate shells simultaneously. You can access the server console in the shell running start-server.sh.

A .gitignore is also included so that you can track your server's config with git because... why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Changing Minecraft version

1. Edit the minecraftVersion in flake.nix. You can also change loaderVersion and installerVersion if you want. Follow the steps below to update the hash.
2. Remove the jarHash = "..."; line and run nix develop. You should see something like this:

error: hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/gpgjadc2v30jf5cqcfgjbbbqfw3jr811-jar.drv':
         specified: sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
            got:    sha256-qj9GxjkoFa2nqiyy/mWoCzVPCtAfulPtIhL00W9rs00=

3. Copy the hash back into flake.nix.

jarHash = "sha256-qj9GxjkoFa2nqiyy/mWoCzVPCtAfulPtIhL00W9rs00=";

Installing mods

A mods folder is created the first time you run start-server.sh. Place the mods you want to install in the mods folder and restart the server.

Search for mods to download on Modrinth.
