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While the distribution-provided version of Docker works fine on most systems, in rare cases it can be outdated and cause bugs.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
