RLCraft Minecraft 1.12.2 Docker(Portainer) + Client Setup

Client Set-up

Download CurseForge

• Visit CurseForge and download the standalone version
• Run through the installer with standard options unless you intend to run a custom install.
• Open the curseforge application.
  • In the search bar at the top, search for RLCraft and click Install. - Once installed, go to the mod install folder by using the 3 dots. - Find the "mods" folder and delete a file called LootTweaker, this will remove any conflicts with the server.
    • Removing the mod breaks the recipes, no longer needed to join the server when using the serverpack from curseforge.
  • Click play and sign into your Microsoft account(You can close curseforge after launching).
  • Visit the mod folder
  • Agree to the terms and conditions(Microsoft gives warnings because it doesn't support the latest security measures in old version of Minecraft).
  • Click Play and join the Server through multiplayer and the domain name/IP address(Takes awhile to load).
  • You can add a port at the end of the domain name if it's using a custom port <YourDomain>:<port>.

Server-Side Setup With Portainer

• YAML File for ease of setup

    ports:

• After the server has been setup, the easiest way to get the mod running is by downloading the server files from curseforge
• Once downloaded, extract all of the files into the folder where the docker server is and overwrite them.
  • To achieve this, I followed this written guide or this video in order set up a samba share and access the folder.
