Pickaxx

A standalone web console for managing a Minecraft server instance.

The goals of this project are as follows:

• Minimal configuration, sane defaults (drop a server into the tool and go)
• Single binary, small memory footprint
• Basic authentication

Current state

• In development. It can start an existing minecraft server and send/receive output, but not much else.
• It can not yet bootstrap new server instances (i.e. drag and drop).
• It does not handle any authentication yet, making it not yet able to run safely on a public server.

Developer Setup

1. Install gowatch

go get -u github.com/silenceper/gowatch

2. Until this tool can bootstrap new Minecraft instances on it's own, manually download server.jar from Minecraft's site (see below), and copy this into the path testserver/server.jar.
3. Run tests (or use make test).
4. Run make which will start the server. Load http://localhost:8080

Dependencies

• This project uses go-watch to run/restart the server.
• Compatible Java runtime (tested on OpenJDK 15.0.1).
• Minecraft server (tested on 1.16.4).
