This guide covers the minecraft.bedrock module in AlphaGSM.

minecraft.bedrock is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The current GitHub integration lane still exercises both process and Docker runtime selection, but the validated anonymous Linux path remains Docker-first through the shared service-console runtime family while local process mode still depends on the host Bedrock libraries being present.

Requirements

Docker is recommended on Linux; AlphaGSM can run Bedrock through the shared service-console runtime image.
For local process mode, install screen and the Bedrock shared-library dependencies, including libcurl.so.4.
Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm mybedrock create minecraft.bedrock

Run setup:

alphagsm mybedrock setup

Start it:

alphagsm mybedrock start

Check it:

alphagsm mybedrock status

Stop it:

alphagsm mybedrock stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 19132)
the install directory

Resetting the World

Stop the server, then run alphagsm mymc reset-world (or wipe). AlphaGSM lists the world data to delete and asks for confirmation. Add -Y to skip the prompt. Run start afterwards to generate a fresh world.

See world creation and reset for exactly which files are removed and the supported layouts.

Useful Commands

alphagsm mybedrock update
alphagsm mybedrock backup
alphagsm mybedrock set gamemap BedrockWorld
alphagsm mybedrock set servername "AlphaGSM Bedrock Server"

Notes

Module name: minecraft.bedrock
Default port: 19132
Fresh Docker-backed support was revalidated on 2026-05-30 with query, info, info --json, and clean stop all passing on the shared service-console runtime family.

Server variables

After create minecraft.bedrock, inspect or change these with set:

alphagsm myserver set --list
alphagsm myserver set KEY --describe
alphagsm myserver set KEY VALUE

Key	Aliases	Type	What it does
`difficulty`	—	string	The world difficulty. Example: `easy`.
`gamemode`	—	string	The default game mode. Example: `survival`.
`map`	gamemap, level, world, startmap, worldname	string	The selected world or level name. Example: `Bedrock level`.
`maxplayers`	users	integer	The maximum number of players allowed on the server. Example: `10`.
`port`	gameport	integer	The port the Bedrock server listens on. Example: `19132`.
`servername`	hostname, name	string	The server name shown in Bedrock server listings. Example: `AlphaGSM Bedrock Server`.
