Create Minecraft servers with a powerful, stable, and high level JavaScript API.
## Features
* Support for Minecraft 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, 1.15 and 1.16
* Players can see the world
* Players see each other in-game and in tab
* Digging
* Placing blocks
* Player movement
* World generation
* Anvil loading
* Multi-world
## Building / Running
Before running or building it is recommended that you configure the server in `config/settings.json`
```bash
npm install
node app.js
```
You can also install flying-squid globally with `sudo npm install -g flying-squid` and then run it with `flying-squid` command.
### Docker
Docker allows for a higher level of isolation, compatibility and consistency. You can learn how to install Docker [here](https://www.docker.com/get-started).
Quick start a simple server to test out flying-squid:
```bash
docker run -p 25565:25565 prismarinejs/flying-squid
```
With specific configuration and a container name:
```bash
docker run -p 25565:25565 -v $(pwd)/config:/config --name my-flying-squid prismarinejs/flying-squid
```
[docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) is useful to quickly launch & stop a single container with a specific configuration.
`docker-compose.yaml`:
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
flying-squid:
image: prismarinejs/flying-squid
volumes:
- ${PWD}/config:/config
ports:
- "25565:25565"
volumes:
flying-squid:
```
```bash
docker-compose -f path/to/docker-compose.yaml up
```
Or do it all locally:
```bash
docker build -t local-flying-squid .
docker run -p 25565:25565 local-flying-squid
```
or
```bash
docker-compose up
```
## World generation
There are several modules than can be used to generate the world. The default one is called diamond-square
* [node-voxel-worldgen](https://github.com/mhsjlw/node-voxel-worldgen): a voxel world generator written in Rust, compatible with flying-squid and allows basic minecraft-like generation including caves.
* [diamond-square](https://github.com/PrismarineJS/diamond-square): a diamond square minecraft generation.
* superflat: a superflat worldgen with configurable blocks and biome.
To install a world generation, all you have to do is npm install it and then change the generation option in settings.json.
## Plugins
* [flying-squid-irc](https://github.com/rom1504/flying-squid-irc) a bridge between a irc chan and the minecraft server.
Currently used between our test server (rom1504.fr) and our gitter room (through the official gitter irc bridge)
* [flying-squid-schematic](https://github.com/rom1504/flying-squid-schematic) Flying-squid plugin providing /listSchemas and /loadSchema commands.
You can add schema through a simple http api and then add them in your world by just calling /loadSchema in game.
* [flying-squid-essentials](https://github.com/DeudlyYT/Flying-Squid-Essentials) Plugin that in a future will be like Essentials of bukkit/spigot.
All the basic commands that a server should have
* [squidcord](https://github.com/dada513/SquidCord) a bridge between a discord channel and the minecraft server.
* [authme](https://github.com/TheAlan404/flying-squid-authme) an auth plugin for `online-mode=false` servers.
## Documentation
For development see the [API documentation](API.md), [CONTRIBUTE.md](CONTRIBUTE.md) and [HISTORY.md](HISTORY.md)
## Using as a lib
flying-squid is also a server lib. Here is a basic example of usage:
```js
const mcServer = require('flying-squid')
mcServer.createMCServer({
'motd': 'A Minecraft Server \nRunning flying-squid',
'port': 25565,
'max-players': 10,
'online-mode': true,
'logging': true,
'gameMode': 1,
'difficulty': 1,
'worldFolder': 'world',
'generation': {
'name': 'diamond_square',
'options': {
'worldHeight': 80
}
},
'kickTimeout': 10000,
'plugins': {
},
'modpe': false,
'view-distance': 10,
'player-list-text': {
'header': 'Flying squid',
'footer': 'Test server'
},
'everybody-op': true,
'max-entities': 100,
'version': '1.16.5'
})
```
You can add server plugins and player plugins in your package, following [CONTRIBUTE.md](https://github.com/PrismarineJS/flying-squid/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTE.md).
