I would like to start by mentioning that I am very new to Linux. I have been wanting to give MineOS a try for a while now and re-purposed an old Dell Optiplex to do it. I want to run multiple servers on it and haven’t had a problem getting vanilla servers to run with the newer versions of Minecraft. The problem that I am having is with the older versions, primarily with the forage versions. I have used the two forum posts tagged at the bottom to install JAVA 17 without issue so that I could run a 1.18 server. The problem that I am having is with JAVA 8 so that I can run forage 1.12.2 servers. Any help would be much appreciated.
I am also looking for this information, there doesn’t really seem to be any working guides on the web, the only success I have had is downloading the linux distro package for java 8 and using scp to transfer it from my windows machine (wget didn’t want to work for some reason) and installing the package from there.
Thanks Oracle, you broke a lot of shit, now we have to have an account to download it???
anyways, now mineos is saying: Java Version in Use: Error accessing location ‘undefined’
So that’s fun.
Also the “logging” doesn’t work anymore, I wish it would give us crash logs, but looking at the forums for this software, it looks abandoned.
But I will keep trying and eventually post my results here for all to see.
And now for some odd reason I cannot UNINSTALL java 17, I think I messed up the server so I reinstalled, and now I cannot uninstall java 17?
Ok this is weird…
To try mods and to see if they, I will first attempt a more recent version of MC that likes the newer java.
Perhaps the wayback machine will work for the old links…
Alright, so I guess my best solution would be to do the multiple versions of java method? As if I would use a different distro and only install java 8 the web gui needs 17, so that wouldn’t work correct?
The web GUI is absolutely amazing and snappy (in my opinion of course), but it needs an easy way to access the logs and cmd line for debugging…
Mineos is is just linux shell and making use of screen with a visual front end being the WebUI its pretty cool for what it is.
but i think one of the goals is to get people learning how to do more abstract things like command line orientated stuff and just learning linux in general idk i could be wrong but i feel like i read this somewhere in the forum from the dev. Regardless you still want to learn linux specifically Debain based as its the makeup of the entire structure.
Im young, so give me some time
I also think I messed something up, I used root for all those commands and now I get Java Version in Use: Error accessing location '/var/games/servers/minecraft/java/jdk8u345-b01-jre/bin/java'
yay me…
god of chown oh help me now…
i messed up one of the commands just redo it from the beginning i edit the thread it is right now
oof let me look lol…ok hang on i forgot i changed the structure of my folders because of the way i mounted the file system just let me fix the thread sorry lol
