ionmc v1.1.0

IonMC Utility tool for Minecraft server management.

Installation

OS: Windows / Linux
Install for the commandline

npm i -g ionmc

Install for use in node apps or server scripts

npm i ionmc

Usage

Quick start

You can install a server using the CLI:
(You can run the command ionmc on it's own to get the full help list)
Let's say you want to download a server into a subfolder in the current directory, call it "my-server" and you want the latest release version.

ionmc download my-server latest

This will download the latest minecraft version to use for your server.
To run it use the start (or run) command:

ionmc start my-server

Now your server is running with default settings, just like running it normally.

Customizing your server with IonMC

If you want to customize your server with different listeners for storing data or automatic command execution, you can create a server.js file in the same directory as your server.jar file. The ionmc commmand will always open the server.js file if it is present in the server directory.

In your server.js, you should start with something like this:

const {Server} = require("ionmc");
// import {Server} from "ionmc"; // For TypeScript

let server = new Server("server.jar");

// Output all the server data to the console.
server.on("data", server.write);
// Exit the node process when the server has stopped.
server.on("stopped", () => process.exit());
