mc

mc is a command line tool to manage and run Minecraft instances.

Describe your server in a single mc.kdl manifest; mc takes care of the rest:

• installs a Java runtime, the Minecraft binary, a mod loader, and mods
• manages mods with a lockfile (mc add, mc remove, mc update)
• runs the server with clean shutdown
• takes scheduled world backups, stored locally or on S3

Quick start

Install with mise:

mise use -g github:afrigon/mc

or grab a pre-built binary from the releases page. Then:

mc init myserver --eula
cd myserver
mc run

Passing --eula indicates you have read and agree to the Minecraft EULA.

Development

Tools are pinned with mise; mise install sets up the toolchain, then:

mise run build     # release build
mise run test      # test suite
mise run format    # rustfmt, on the nightly the config requires
mise run docs      # build the documentation book

Documentation

Full documentation is available at afrigon.github.io/mc: guides for mods, backups, and systemd, plus a complete reference for every command and manifest key.
