Docs: Instructions for manual setup and configuration

[ekrekeler]

Hi,

I love what you are doing here.

I would like to make use of some pieces of this project to run Minecraft Bedrock on ARM64, but I have one small problem. I am currently using another management tool (MCSManager) to keep Minecraft Java instances organized. I'd like to run a Bedrock server as well and that's how I came across this project. The problem is, if I run the setup script from this project, it will potentially interfere with the directory structure and configuration of MCSManager. So, I can really only manage the bedrock instances with either the SetupMinecraft.sh script or MCSManager, not both.

I am looking for a list of instructions/commands to follow in order to setup Bedrock with Box64 in the directory that I choose. Otherwise I would need to reverse-engineer the SetupMinecraft.sh script and pick out the parts I need. Forgive me if it's already documented somewhere, but would there be anything like this, a list of instructions I can follow to get the bedrock server running without the management capabilities of the scripts?

MCSManager isn't the only server manager out there for Minecraft, there are others such as mineos and CubeCoders AMP whose users can benefit from a list of steps to follow.

Answered my own question. It was actually quite simple.

Tested on Raspberry Pi 5 running Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS.
