mcsleepingserverstarter

Put your minecraft server to rest, while SleepingServerStarter is watching ! Save power, save the world !

What it does :

• Listen on the same port as your minecraft server.
• When someone connects, exit and launch your minecraft server.
• When server is stopping (by EmptyServerStopper by example), watch until someone reconnects.

With an original idea from https://github.com/tustin2121/MCSignOnDoor

Require (if install from source) : NodeJs (^14.*) & NPM

• Windows : https://nodejs.org/en/download/

• Linux : https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#debinstall

• EmptyServerStopper to stop your server when nobody is there : https://github.com/vincss/mcEmptyServerStopper

• Install :

  • From Source
    • Download this repository as zip.
    • Unzip it at your minecraft's root.
    • Launch "npm install", to restore the needed package.
    • Start using "npm start".
  • From Binaries
    • Download binaries depending on your system.
    • Place the executable next to your server file (rename it to spigot.jar ).
    • (For linux, maybe a "chmod +x sleepingServerStarter.run", will be required, play tell me if it's work :-) ).
    • Make sure your server is stopped.
    • Run the executable.

Update :

• Run "npm update" to update packages (minecraft protocol could need some updates).

Use WebServer for dynmap :

• You need to change your configuration from class: org.dynmap.InternalClientUpdateComponent to class: org.dynmap.JsonFileClientUpdateComponent (comment all the section InternalClientUpdateComponent and uncomment JsonFileClientUpdateComponent).
• Chat will not work when hosted by mcsleepingserverstarter. For a full compatibilty, you can use an apache server. https://github.com/webbukkit/dynmap/wiki/Setting-up-without-the-Internal-Web-Server
