update 2024

After a long time without running it locally, I did not even had the original link to the project I used on github. So I looked for a new one and [I am trying it now].

Running it:

I have a xbox one and two players can play it at the sametime but I would like to join the party with my kid and wife. There are two solutions, minecraft healms and get your own server. The minecraft healms has a good price but I wanted to runs scripts on minecraft for a long time so I decided to go with the local server.

I did some research and found a bedrock server running on docker. That is really simple to use, even for non tech people. They have a docker compose example but I prefer to just keep the docker command on hand on a script and start or stop by hand.

docker run \
    -d -it \
    -p 25565:25565 \
    -e EULA=TRUE \
    itzg/minecraft-server

So I started clonning the project, and it was only for java, so for the bedrock edition you must use the itzg/minecraft-bedrock-server.

Works like a charm, you need to attach to the container to see the output.
