docker pull eclipse-temurin:21-jre-alpine

java -Xmx{memory}M -Xms512M -jar server.jar nogui

How to set up a Minecraft Vanilla server with NautilusControl

1. 1

   Install NautilusControl

   Install the NautilusControl panel and agent on the machine that will run the server. The installation guide covers it, and the 14-day free trial includes 1 node and 5 servers.

2. 2

   Import the Minecraft Vanilla template

   Download this template (a single JSON file) with the button above, then open Templates in NautilusControl and choose Import JSON.

3. 3

   Create the server

   Create a new container and pick Minecraft Vanilla. NautilusControl pulls eclipse-temurin:21-jre-alpine and creates the folders for you.

4. 4

   Open the ports

   Allow port 25565 through your firewall, and forward it on your router if people connect from outside your network.

5. 5

   Start it

   Press Start and follow the startup log in the panel, then use the interactive console for commands.

Server files come from piston-data.mojang.com.
