General Notes
Docker Versions
While the distribution-provided version of Docker works fine on most systems, in rare cases it can be outdated and cause bugs. Before reporting a bug, try using the official builds of Docker. These can be installed by following your distribution's instructions at https://docs.docker.com/engine/install.
Distribution-Specific Notes
Raspbian Buster
By default Raspbian Buster ships an older version of the package libseccomp2
. This package is used to block certain dangerous system calls from running inside Docker containers. The included version accidentally blocks the system call clock_gettime64
, this causes bugs inside Minecraft: Pi Edition. However, the Debian buster-backports
repo includes an updated version. You can enable the buster-backports
repo and update libseccomp2
by running:
echo 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install libseccomp2
Dedicated Server
The dedicated server is a version of Minecraft: Pi Edition modified to run in a headless environment. It loads settings from a server.properties
file.
To use, install the minecraft-pi-server
package and run minecraft-pi-server
. It will generate the world and server.properties
in the current directory.
This is also compatible with MCPE 0.6.1.
Limitations
- Player inventories are not saved because of limitations with MCPE LAN worlds
- An easy workaround is to place your inventory in a chest before logging off
- Survival mode servers are only compatible with
minecraft-pi-docker
