By default, the container will download the latest version of the "vanilla" [Minecraft: Java Edition server](https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server) provided by Mojang. The [`VERSION`](#versions) and the [`TYPE`](#server-types) can be configured to create many variations of desired Minecraft server.

If you're looking for a simple way to deploy this to the Amazon Web Services Cloud, check out the [Minecraft Server Deployment (CloudFormation) repository](https://github.com/vatertime/minecraft-spot-pricing). This repository contains a CloudFormation template that will get you up and running in AWS in a matter of minutes. Optionally it uses Spot Pricing so the server is very cheap, and you can easily turn it off when not in use.
## Running a Forge Server
## Server types
### Running a Forge Server
Enable [Forge server](http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/) mode by adding a `-e TYPE=FORGE` to your command-line.
The overall version is specified by `VERSION`, [as described in the section above](#versions) and will run the recommended Forge version by default. You can also choose to run a specific Forge version with `FORGEVERSION`, such as `-e FORGEVERSION=14.23.5.2854`.
$ docker run -d -v /path/on/host:/data \
docker run -d -v /path/on/host:/data \

To use a pre-downloaded Forge installer, place it in the attached `/data` directory and
specify the name of the installer file with `FORGE_INSTALLER`, such as:
$ docker run -d -v /path/on/host:/data ... \
docker run -d -v /path/on/host:/data ... \
-e FORGE_INSTALLER=forge-1.11.2-13.20.0.2228-installer.jar ...
To download a Forge installer from a custom location, such as your own file repository, specify
the URL with `FORGE_INSTALLER_URL`, such as:
$ docker run -d -v /path/on/host:/data ... \
docker run -d -v /path/on/host:/data ... \
-e FORGE_INSTALLER_URL=http://HOST/forge-1.11.2-13.20.0.2228-installer.jar ...
In both of the cases above, there is no need for the `VERSION` or `FORGEVERSION` variables.
### Managing mods
In order to manage mods, you have two options:
1. [Attach a host directory to the /data path](#attaching-data-directory-to-host-filesystem) and manage the contents of the `mods` subdirectory
2. Using a mods-mount
If the container paths `/mods` and/or `/config` exist, such as by attaching a docker volume or host path, then any files in either of these directories will be copied over to the respective `/data` subdirectory before starting Minecraft.
If you want old mods to be removed as the `/mods` content is updated, then add `-e REMOVE_OLD_MODS=TRUE`. You can fine tune the removal process by specifying the `REMOVE_OLD_MODS_INCLUDE` and `REMOVE_OLD_MODS_EXCLUDE` variables. By default, everything will be removed. You can also specify the `REMOVE_OLD_MODS_DEPTH` (default is 16) variable to only delete files up to a certain level.
For example: `-e REMOVE_OLD_MODS=TRUE -e REMOVE_OLD_MODS_INCLUDE="*.jar" -e REMOVE_OLD_MODS_DEPTH=1` will remove all old jar files that are directly inside the `plugins/` or `mods/` directory.
You can specify the destination of the files that are copied from `/mods` and `/config` by setting the `COPY_MODS_DEST` and `COPY_CONFIG_DEST`, where the default is `/data/mods` and `/data/config`. For example, `-v ./config:/config -e COPY_CONFIG_DEST=/data` will allow you to copy over files like `bukkit.yml` and so on directly into the server directory.
> NOTE: If a file was updated in the destination path and is newer than the source file from `/config`, then it will not be overwritten.

In order to add mods, you have two options:
### Using the /data volume
This is the easiest way if you are using a persistent `/data` mount.
To do this, you will need to attach the container's `/data` directory
(see "Attaching data directory to host filesystem”).
Then, you can add mods to the `/path/on/host/mods` folder you chose. From the example above,
the `/path/on/host` folder contents look like:
```
/path/on/host
├── mods
│ └── ... INSTALL MODS HERE ...
├── config
│ └── ... CONFIGURE MODS HERE ...
├── ops.json
├── server.properties
├── whitelist.json
└── ...
```
If you add mods while the container is running, you'll need to restart it to pick those
up:
docker stop mc
docker start mc

These paths work well if you want to have a common set of modules in a separate location, but still have multiple worlds with different server requirements in either persistent volumes or a downloadable archive.

## Auto-downloading SpigotMC/Bukkit/PaperMC plugins

Resources that are zip files will be expanded into the plugins directory and resources that are simply jar files will be moved there.
