Installation Guide

Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server Script Installation / Configuration Guide

Multiple Servers and Installation Paths

The server supports multiple servers at once. When you run SetupMinecraft.sh again, pick the identical root path as any previous servers. The path structure of the scripts is $ROOTPATH/minecraftbe/yourservername, which is why the "root" path SetupMinecraft.sh asks you for should always be the same.

The individual server folder is determined by the "server name" you enter for your server. If it's an existing server, the scripts will be safely updated. If it's a new server, then a new folder will be created under $ROOTPATH/minecraft/newservername. The default server name is "bedrock"

Keep the installation path the same for all servers and the script will manage all this for you.

Version Override

You can revert to a previous version with the revert.sh script included in your directory like this:

./revert.sh
Set previous version in version_pin.txt: bedrock-server-1.19.10.20.zip

If you have a specific version you would like to run, you can also create version_pin.txt yourself like this:

echo "bedrock-server-1.18.33.02.zip" > version_pin.txt
