🚀 Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/jleonoras/bedrock-server-oracle.git ~/Minecraft/bedrock-server-oracle
cd ~/Minecraft/bedrock-server-oracle
chmod +x install.sh start.sh download.sh

2. Download the Bedrock Server ZIP

Run the download script. It will prompt you to paste the download link for the server.

./download.sh

1. The script will show you the official Minecraft download page URL.
2. Go to that page in your browser.
3. Find the Linux server download link, right-click it, and select "Copy Link Address".
4. Paste the copied link into the terminal when prompted and press Enter.

The script will then download the server ZIP file into the ~/Minecraft/bedrock-server-oracle/ directory.

3. Install the Server

./install.sh

This script will:

• Install required packages
• Set up ~/Minecraft/ folder structure
• Extract the Bedrock server
• Create 4GB swap file
• Set up and enable a systemd service

▶️ Starting / Stopping the Server

The installer automatically enables minecraft-bedrock.service, so the server starts on boot.

You can manage the server using standard Linux service commands:

sudo systemctl start bedrock

sudo systemctl stop bedrock

sudo systemctl restart bedrock

To check its status:

sudo systemctl status bedrock
