Simple Server Wrapper (SSW for short) is a Rust CLI that wraps a Minecraft server with simple automation and management features. It is the spiritual successor to my old SSW for Java project, although it is not a direct port.
The current feature list is as follows:
- Automatically restarts the server after a configurable amount of time, in hours (default:
12.0) - Shuts down the server when no players are online for a configurable amount of time, in minutes (default:
5.0) - Start the server when a player joins if it is not already running
These are features that I plan to implement in the future, but have not yet.
- Automatically restart the server when it crashes
- SSW update checker
Download the binary for your system (or build it yourself following these instructions) and place it somewhere you can easily access. I recommend renaming it to ssw (ssw.exe on Windows) for ease of use. From there, you can run it with the --help (or -h) flag to see the available options.
MSRV: 1.66.0
It might be lower, but this is what I made it with.
There are no special instructions for building this project. As far as I know, there are also no external dependencies (although I recommend installing build-essential on Ubuntu or its equivalent on other systems just to be safe).
