Hello all. I have a working Bedrock Server on MineOS which is quite usable from the UI and provides interactive console access, etc. as you might expect.
You can achieve this by a minor patch (I’ll put a PR into mineos-node too) and one simple CLI action.
I can’t promise whatsoever to offer support - however we’ve been playing Bedrock via MineOS happily for a few days over server restarts, etc.
Not OP, but I believe Java clients cannot join a Bedrock server. However, you can make it so Bedrock clients can join a Java server via Geyser. I have successfully had Bedrock users join my Java server with Geyser and Floodgate on MineOS.
Thanks very much for the response. I will look into your link. I am not familiar with Geyser or Floodgate. Any suggestions on how to implement would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I have some time (woah!)
This mod allows you to host bedrock servers in addition to java servers on mineos-node.
As per @SolarRadiation 's post, there are methods of allowing players of either type to join alternative type servers - but this is a different use case.
I am in the process of updating the PR to have the functionality merged into the main release (when hexparrot also has some PR time).
Thanks for the wrapper Tucks.
I see that the instructions given are not clear or straight forward, and had a couple of issues as well. Below is my step by step instructions for those who ended up her in their search for a solution. Note: This procedure require SSH root and a bit of knowledge to do. With root…be carefull. (I don’t take any resposibility for errors done with the rights)
Explanations:
(#) - is comments for the step needed with following command
($) - is the command needed at command line for this step (without the $)
(-) - is gui steps
Check your MineOS webui “Profiles” menu, if you can find the “Mineosbedrockwrapper” ID.
4a) If not able to fine the you might have to restart MineOS, or as in my case I did a reboot (running in VM)
$ reboot now You should now be able to download “Mineosbedrockwrapper” profile from MineOS webui.
Downloading profile
Login to your MineOS webui as mc user (or the user you normally use)
Go to the Profiles menu
Select the “Mineosbedrockwrapper” ID
Click green Download butten for the “mineos-bedrock-wrapper” profile. Note: Due to a bug in the download sctipt the profile .jar file download is not coorect. (downloaded as HTML and not .jar) To fix this login to your MinOS via SSH again and elevate to root user (see earlier steps). The following steps will not be needed when Tucks updates the profile URL
use ssh to login to mineos with mc user get root access. You will be asked for root password
$ su
go to bedrock profile directory:*
$ cd /var/games/minecraft/profiles/mineos-bedrock-wrapper/
remove the html version of jar.*
$ rm mineos-bedrock-wrapper-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
unzip the downloaded zip directly in the direcory we are standing in.*
$ unzip bedrock-server-1.18.11.01.zip Note: Doing this you will be asked if you want to replace the server.properties. I replaced and did the changes needed from webui, before starting server.
The bedrock_server software needs to be executable. Do this
$ chmod +x bedrock_server
logout and exit ssh
$ exit
Start your new minecraft server
Go back to MineOS webui
user menu (upper left) → “refresh server list”
Select your new server “Currently Selected Server”
MineOS menu → “Server.properties”
Change the server.properties according your needs
MineOS menu → “Server Status”
Verify that earlier settings are still the same. If not just change them.
Click Green start button.
If not starting see “MineOS menu → logs/latestLog” for information
Hello. Thank you for doing this, it is really appreciated.
The issue of downloading an html page rather than the jar should now be resolved.
Hopefully the ‘ease of use’ should be available via a direct patch to mineos-node once the PR has passed. Meanwhile folks can follow your handy instructions (thanks again).
Thanks, Was able to verify that profile download (from GUI) now works as it should and doesn’t generate a html file.
I was not able to edit my earlier post to change the instructions, so people just need to read all the posts.
Also confirmed that I had to reboot the server for the Profile menu to actually pick up the new profile download script.
So I got the Profile downloaded, created a new server, changed the profile and jar file to bedrock, downloaded the bedrock server, unzipped it, and chmodded it.
But when I start the server the logs say:
[14:14:49] mineos-bedrock-wrapper starting Bedrock dedicated server…
[14:14:50] sh: 1: ./bedrock_server: not found
[14:14:50] mineos-bedrock-wrapper stopped Bedrock dedicated server.
Thanks all for catching the bugs in the instructions. I’m not able to edit my post so hope people just read through comments before following them.
Looks like the most common one is in the Download bedrock server section where
cd /var/games/minecraft/servers/
should have been replaced with
cd /var/games/minecraft/servers/[Your server name created above]/
In addition as Tucks has fixed the profile download. The hole section under Downloading profile can be deleted
Section that can be deleted:
Note: Due to a bug in the download sctipt the profile .jar file download is not coorect. (downloaded as HTML and not .jar)
To fix this login to your MinOS via SSH again and elevate to root user (see earlier steps).
The following steps will not be needed when Tucks updates the profile URL
use ssh to login to mineos with mc user
get root access. You will be asked for root password
$ su
go to bedrock profile directory:*
$ cd /var/games/minecraft/profiles/mineos-bedrock-wrapper/
remove the html version of jar.*
$ rm mineos-bedrock-wrapper-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
download the correct .jar file with wget (note: root need for write access)*
$ wget https://github.com/tucks/mineos-bedrock-wrapper/raw/master/download/latest/mineos-bedrock-wrapper-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar 3
exit root user and become mc user again*
$ exit
Update: I’ve rejigged the PR and resolved what I believe all the outstanding issue were which were blocking merge. Hopefully you’ll see this functionality in the main MineOS UI sometime soon.
This functionality is released in mineos-node v1.2.1.
Note that the jar file for the bedrock-wrapper is in ‘snapshots’ not ‘releases’ in the menu pull down.
I guess I should do a formal release 1.0.0 of the wrapper soon
But ideally, if people could test and tell me how it goes that would be appreciated.
Issues can (nicely) be reported here if simpler or in the github project: GitHub - tucks/mineos-bedrock-wrapper
