Better than Adventure! Docker

This is a fairly simple Docker container used to run a Minecraft server with the Better than Adventure! modpack.

Better than Adventure! is an unofficial fork of Minecraft Beta 1.7.3, a version of the game released in 2011. Its goal is to revitalize classic Minecraft with new gameplay features, quality of life improvements, and optimizations!

Usage

The user is assumed to have already got a basic Docker instalation up and running. If you haven't, go do that and come back when you're finished.

Basic Usage

please note that for now fzorb/betterthanadventure is a placeholder

# Most basic server. Uses default environment variables
$ docker run -p 25565:25565 fzorb/betterthanadventure
# Change the version & maximum amount of ram the server uses:
$ docker run -p 25565:25565 -e XMX=2G -e VERSION=7.1-prerelease-1 fzorb/betterthanadventure
# Mount the server files to a different directory
$ docker run -p 25565:25565 -e XMX=2G -v /srv/bta:/srv/bta fzorb/betterthanadventure
