Intro

I forked this project off someone who did a terraform setup for Java edition of minecraft, I bought the Bedrock edition of minecraft therefore created this project for myself to host a Minecraft Server in Bedrock Edition.

Setup

• Install PuTTy
• Install Terraform (tested on 1.1.3).
• Install the AWS CLI.
• Configure the AWS CLI with an access key ID and secret access key.

Variables

Please fill out the terraform.tfvars file before running this configuration

your_region

• Where you want your server to be. The options are here.
• E.g. eu-west-2.

your_ip

• Only this IP will be able to administer the server. Find it here.
• E.g. 104.65.182.8.

keyname

• This is the name of your SSH key pair used to access the EC2 instance.

mojang_server_url

• Copy the bedrock edition server download link from here. (use ubuntu)
• E.g. https://minecraft.azureedge.net/bin-linux/bedrock-server-1.18.2.03.zip for Minecraft version 1.18.2.

Steps

• Run terraform init.
• Run terraform apply.
• a .pem private key will be made in the folder, convert this to .ppk with puTTygen (comes with puTTy)
• use that key and the instance public ip to access the EC2
• This configuration uses a VM image with Minecraft server pre-installed, however it is an old version so you will need to run the server-update-script.sh file with sh command.
• set the bedrock_server file with execute permissions using chmod +x bedrock_server
• start the server with command LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./bedrock_server
• Copy the public IP output into Minecraft, port 19312
• Wait a minute for the server to spin up.
• Play.
• Irrecoverably shut everything down with terraform destroy.
