MinecraftLauncherConsole

This is for the people who are tired of carefully unpacking every new Minecraft Bedrock server release to avoid clobbering their modified files (although maybe that's mostly me...).

Configuration

The launcher takes its configuration from the file .\Config\config.json in the same directory as the binary. The default configuration is below:

{
    "DownloadPage": "https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock",
    "PreserveFiles": [
        "allowlist.json",
        "permissions.json",
        "server.properties",
        "worlds"
    ],
    "TargetDir": "C:\\Minecraft",
    "WorldName": "TestWorld"
}

Parameters

• TargetDir is the parent directory where the unpacked servers are stored
• WorldName is where each server's contents will be unpacked
• DownloadPage is the link to the webpage where you download Bedrock server releases
• PreserveFiles is the list of files/directories you don't want overwritten when unpacking the new server

You shouldn't have to update the default DownloadPage or PreserveFiles, but if there is some kind of issue please post it.

CLI

There isn't really a CLI, but the WorldName setting can be overridden by the first command line argument, e.g.:

.\BedrockServerLauncher.exe Terraria
