Welcome to MCJS!
This is a package/module that allows you to use NodeJS to control your own Minecraft Dedicated Bedrock Server. (This project is not endorsed by Mojang)
Installation
You can install this package through the NPM package manager using;
npm install @betabites/mcjs
Upon installation, you'll be asked to get a download link for the latest version of the Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server files from minecarft.net.
Usage
Using MCJS is quite simple. It is important to know that all of the Minecraft server files are stored within the node module's folder. This means that files like server.properties that the server uses (as well as the world files), are located in:
./node_modules/mcjs/bedrock_server/
Starting up the server
To get started, you'll want the two following script steps. The first will import the library, and the second will start up the server.
let mcjs = require("mcjs")
let server = new mcjs.server()mcServer.sendCommand()
Use this command to interact with the native Minecraft Server console.
Example:
await server.sendCommand("tp @a 0 72 0")Returns: String or null if no response is received from the server console.
mcServer.shutdown()
Use this command to peacefully shutdown the server and disconnect all clients.
Example:
await server.shutdown()
console.log("The server has been shut down!")mcServer.start()
This command runs automatically when the mcServer class is created, but can also be run manually in the case that the sever has been shut down.
Example:
await server.start()
console.log("Server has restarted!")mcServer.getOnlinePlayers()
Gets a list of all players connected to the server.
Example:
await server.getOnlinePlayers()Returns: {online: online_count, total: maximum_count, players: playerArray}
mcServer.installExtension
Installs a supported server extension.
Example:
server.installExtension(extension)This works by running the inputted extension's this.connectMc function.
extension.connectMc(this)This will give the extension the ability to manage the server.
