Quick start

Standard usage (recommended)

Server

Put ServerSync.jar or ServerSyncServer.exe in the root Minecraft folder e.g. Minecraft/ServerSync.jar. This will be the same level that the mods/ folder exists at.

Create a batch/shell script that starts ServerSync like so: java -jar serversync-{version}.jar server.

Example script for windows

@echo off
SETLOCAL

rem Configuration...
SET server_name=Example server name
SET forge_java_arguments=-Xms2g -Xmx2g
SET serversync_java_arguments=-Xms512m -Xmx1g

rem Find things...
for %%f in (forge*.jar) do (SET forge=%%~nxf)
for %%f in (serversync*.jar) do (SET serversync=%%~nxf)

rem Start the things...
START "Forge - %server_name%" java %forge_java_arguments% -jar %forge% nogui
START "ServerSync - %server_name%" java %serversync_java_arguments% -jar %serversync% server

ENDLOCAL

Client

Put ServerSync.jar or ServerSyncClient.exe in the root Minecraft folder e.g. Minecraft/ServerSync.jar. This will be the same level that the mods/ folder exists at.

What's the difference between the jar and exe files?

Pretty icons 👍.
