A hassle free docker image that allows running a vanilla Minecraft server in no time. For Linux.
For PaperMc Minecraft server, visit - Docker Hub page, GitHub page.
To use the latest stable version of Minecraft, run
sudo docker run -p 25565:25565 -v /root/minecraft_server:/minecraft_server -d -ti --restart unless-stopped -e EULA=true layoutxml/vanilla-minecraft-docker
The following arguments can be passed at build time as build arguments (--build-arg EULA=true) or at the run time as environment variables (-e EULA=true). They will be saved and remembered for each subsequent run, unless conflicting argument is passed.
| Name | Default value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| EULA | false | You must agree to Minecraft's EULA |
| JDK_VERSION | 14-slim | This is the latest currently allowed OpenJDK version. Feel free to change it in the future. This argument can only be used as a build argument. |
| FOLDER_NAME | minecraft_server | Useful to change when running multiple servers. |
| MINECRAFT_VERSION | If no version specified, will use the latest stable version. | |
| RAM | 1024M | Server RAM. M for MB, G for GB. |

| Port | -p 25565:25565 |
