microsoft has a habit of changing the download url regularly so automating it gets annoying. my kid has moved onto java so i’ve just left the bedrock server shutdown.
if you really want to run a java server outside docker and you’re comfortable with bash scripts, i can post mine here. but one of the docker builds is going to be the simplest way to get started with it.
Could you point me to a good tutorial for hosting Minecraft server for my kids?
if you want easy java minecraft i might try something like https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server though i’ve not tested that one beyond ‘it did install’.
for bedrock this walkthough does a good job of covering the steps. https://harrk.dev/dedicated-bedrock-minecraft-server-ubuntu-setup/
