⁠Skyfactory 4

• Default Minecraft Port: 25565
• Dockerhub⁠
• Curseforge Skyfactor 4⁠
• GitHub Skyfactory 4⁠
• Multiplayer Instructions⁠
• Minecraft Commands⁠

⁠Server Installation (docker)

Initially run the following command to accept EULA⁠ terms:

docker run --rm \
-v skyfactory4:/var/lib/skyfactory4 \
mikenoethiger/skyfactory4 ash -c 'echo "eula=true" > eula.txt'

This will create the docker volume where all the skyfactory data will be persisted and then write eula=true to eula.txt which is the whole eula-terms-accepting magic. The container is automatically removed after the command terminates (ensured by --rm).

Now run the server as a container:

docker run -dit \
-p 25565:25565 \
-v skyfactory4:/var/lib/skyfactory4 \
--restart always \
--name skyfactory4 \
mikenoethiger/skyfactory4

Run docker attach skyfactory4 in order to use the interactive minecraft shell. Hit CRTL+P+Q to exit attached mode.

Run docker volume inspect skyfactory4 in order to get the volume path on the host system, where all the world data and so forth is stored.

⁠Server Installation (manual)

1. Downlod and unzip Server Files⁠
2. Run install.sh
3. (Optional) Update max memory usage in settings.sh
4. Run ServerStart.sh to start the server (will initially fail)
5. After intial server start failed, set eula=true in eula.txt
6. Run ServerStart.sh again and wait until server startet
7. In the interactive shell type help to get a list of available commands.
8. Type stop to save data and stop server.

⁠Load Backups

Skyfactory automatically creates backups and stores them in the backups folder. My common routine to load a backup is as follows (make sure to cd to the skyfactory4 volume beforehand):

mkdir archive
mv world archive
mkdir world
cp backups/world/Backup--world--2020-04-11--22-18.zip world
cd world
unzip Backup--world--2020-04-11--22-18.zip
rm Backup--world--2020-04-11--22-18.zip

This routine is summarized in the loadbackup.sh script provided in this repository. Usage example:

./loadbackup.sh Backup--world--2020-04-11--22-18.zip
