Running in Docker

This page demonstrates example settings for running a Minecraft server in a Docker container, using the PAPER 1.20.4 server core as an example.

1. Preparing the Environment​

Before starting, make sure you have the following software installed:

2. Configuration File​

Create a file named docker-compose.yml in a convenient location with the following content:

version: '3.8'
services:
    mc:
        image: itzg/minecraft-server
        tty: true
        stdin_open: true
        ports:
            - "25565:25565"
        environment:
            # Server core type
            TYPE: PAPER
            # Server version
            VERSION: 1.20.4
            EULA: "TRUE"
            ONLINE_MODE: "TRUE"
            ENFORCE_SECURE_PROFILE: "FALSE"
            # RAM allocation
            MEMORY: 4G
            JVM_OPTS: "-javaagent:{PATH_TO_authlib-injector-1.2.5.jar}=https://{YOUR_GML_API_ADDRESS}/api/v1/integrations/authlib/minecraft -Dauthlibinjector.debug"
        volumes:
            # Create volume to persist server data
            - ./data:/data

Important!
Do not leave localhost:5003 if the server will be used by other players or deployed on a remote machine!
In the -javaagent parameter, replace https://localhost:5003/api/v1/integrations/authlib/minecraft with the address of your API where the authlib injector integration is deployed.

If your server is available at https://api.example.com, the line should look like this:

-javaagent:libraries/authlib-injector-1.2.5-alpha-1.jar=https://api.example.com/api/v1/integrations/authlib/minecraft -Dauthlibinjector.debug

3. Downloading the Libraries​

Create a folder data/libraries and download authlib injector into it.

The final hierarchy should look like this:

📁 data
|-- 📁 libraries
    |-- 📄 authlib-injector-1.2.5-alpha-1.jar
📄 docker-compose.yml

4. First Launch​

Run the following command in the console:

docker compose up
