MC Startup Script v1.0.0

Initial Release

Not feature-complete, but is production-ready.

First Launch/Initial Setup

• Prompts user for server .jar filename. Checks if the file exists.
• Prompts user to allocate initial and maximum RAM for the server. Checks if entry is a valid value.
• Queries user whether the server should auto-restart or not.
• Queries user whether server should use pre-configured JVM arguments. Regardless of result, will generate file for flag storage.
• Queries user whether to launch with GUI.
• Lets user confirm choices. If confirmed, continue to normal startup. If rejected, will restart initial configuration.
• Stores configuration in /config/StartupScript.conf, and JVM args in /config/jvm_args.txt.
• Generates auto-accepted EULA.

Normal Startup

• Checks for config folder, config file, and sets restart counter. If config is missing, reverts back to initial setup.
• Checks for EULA, if non-existent, creates accepted eula.txt.
• Reads script config file and stores contents as environment variables.
• Displays configuration to user and initialises the server.
• Checks for JVM arguments file, if non-existent, will create one with optimised flags. If it exists, loads the args into an environment variable.
• Checks auto-restart config to decide launch path.

Auto-Restart Enabled

• Launches server and changes console title to the configurable title + restart count.
• Upon crash or restart, increments the restart counter and reloads configuration + JVM flags.

Auto-Restart Disabled

• Launches server and changes console title to the configurable title.
• Upon crash or restart, prompts user whether to restart or exit.
