# Application

[Minecraft Server](https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/)

## Description

Minecraft is a sandbox video game created by Swedish game developer Markus
Persson and released by Mojang in 2011. The game allows players to build with a
variety of different blocks in a 3D procedurally generated world, requiring
creativity from players. Other activities in the game include exploration,
resource gathering, crafting, and combat. Multiple game modes that change
gameplay are available, including—but not limited to—a survival mode, in which
players must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health, and a
creative mode, where players have unlimited resources to build with.

## Build notes

Latest stable Minecraft Java release from Mojang.

## Notes

If you do **NOT** want world backups and/or purging of backups then set the
value to '0' for env vars 'CREATE_BACKUP_HOURS' and/or 'PURGE_BACKUP_DAYS'.

Env var 'CUSTOM_JAR_PATH' is optional and allows you to define a specific jar to
run, if not specified then the latest Mojang Minecraft jar will be used.

Env vars 'JAVA_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE' value and 'JAVA_MAX_HEAP_SIZE' values must be
a multiple of 1024 and greater than 2MB.

User ID (PUID) and Group ID (PGID) can be found by issuing the following command
for the user you want to run the container as:-

```bash
id <username>
```
