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.

This server is also compatible with MCPE Alpha v0.6.11.

Setup

Debian Package

To use, install and run minecraft-pi-reborn-server. It will generate the world and server.properties in the current directory.

Docker Image

An official Docker image is also provided: thebrokenrail/minecraft-pi-reborn-server. Use the provided Dockerfile.server at the root, there's a sample compose.yml file you can use with docker compose

Server Limitations

  • Player data is not saved because of limitations with MCPE LAN worlds (This means player position and inventory are both reset)
    • An easy workaround is to place your inventory in an easily reachable chest before logging off
  • Survival Mode servers are incompatible with unmodded MCPI

  1. The exception to this is buckets, those will crash MCPE players. ↩︎
