# cloud-minecraft

Ansible role to setup a Minecraft Java Edition server (Paper by default) via docker compose,
based on the `itzg/minecraft-server` image.

- the game port is public, RCON listens on `127.0.0.1` only
- whitelist and operators are managed from Ansible (`minecraft_whitelist`, `minecraft_ops`);
  the whitelist is enforced and synchronized on every start
- `minecraft_eula` must be set to `true` explicitly (Minecraft EULA: https://aka.ms/MinecraftEULA)
- world data lives in `minecraft_data_location`; for a consistent backup run
  `rcon-cli save-off` and `rcon-cli save-all flush` before copying, `rcon-cli save-on` afterwards
