Tekxit2 server with plugins
Tekxit 2 is a combination of Tekkit and Hexxit in Minecraft 1.7.10.
Installation
there are a lot of ways to install this server on any system that is able to run java, but in this guide I will exclusively focus on installing it on debian 8.
Furthermore, my setup works without screen.
For server managing we will use rcon and ufw as a firewall.
Step 1:
First of all we need to make some preparations in the os to guarantee a reliable system: Setting up the correct locals:
Step 2:
After the preparations are finished we can finally start to set up our service by creating its home. In order to do that we need to create a system user with the name minecraft as well as the group minecraft.
For security reasons we will create the minecraft server in /opt.
Step 3:
In order to be able to manage the tekxit-server in the future we need to compile mcrcon.
Step 4:
Next step we have to clone my tekxit2-server repo and link the systemd unit.
Step 5:
Last but not least, we should set up a firewall to prevent randoms from loging into mcrcon.
