Documentation
How to run, configure and update the server images.
Getting started
Run a Minecraft server in Docker in one command with the prebuilt server images, and switch on the bundled mods and plugins with one environment variable.
Docker Compose
Run the Minecraft server images with Docker Compose, with a complete compose.yaml, mods and plugins, memory limits, several servers side by side, updates and backups.
Configuration
Every environment variable of the Minecraft server images: EULA, memory and JVM flags, server.properties overrides, and mod or plugin selection.
Mods and plugins
How the baked-in mod and plugin catalog works: selecting IDs with MODS or PLUGINS, automatic dependencies, unsupported fallbacks and managed files.
Tags and updates
How the Minecraft version tags, the auto-updated version window and latest work, and how to pin digests or follow rebuilds with Flux.
Image layout
What is inside each Minecraft server image: directories, the /data volume, startup steps, OCI labels and how to inspect the bundled catalog.
