Basic Information (IMPORTANT)

Mine Colab [Improved]

Run Minecraft Server on Google Colab

Today, I will explain the basic information for developing the main functions. Because each main function has its own small function, I will tell it on the page that describes the main function not in this page.

Python libraries:

Libraries	Commands	Uses	X	Libraries	Commands	Uses
os	environ()	Setting java environment	X	jproperties	Properties()	Read server.properties files
os.path	exists()	Checking exsisting folder	X	rich	print()	print color texts
requests	get()	HTML Parse	X	google.colab	drive()	Mounting google drive
time	sleep()	Wait for done (Commands)	X	pyngrok	ngrok()	Ngrok connecting
json	load()	Transform to dict type	X	pyngrok	conf()	Ngrok configuring
json	dump()	Dumping dict values to .txt files	X	bs4	BeautifulSoup4()	HTML Parse

Global variables:

• drive_path : Path to your drive files. | '/content/drive/MyDrive/minecraft'
• SERVERCONFIG : Path to your serverconfig.txt file. | f'{drive_path}/server_list.txt'
• COLABCONFIG : Function but used for getting the path to colabconfig.txt file. | f"{drive_path}/{server_name}/colabconfig.txt"

Files:

• minecraft: The folder which stored all Minecraft server folders
• colabconfig.txt: The file that include dict value: | {'server_name': 'Your-server-name', 'server_type': 'Your-server-type', 'tunnel_service': 'your-tunnel-service'}.
  • If you use ngrok service, colabconfig.txt will include: {'server_name': 'Your-server-name', 'server_type': 'Your-server-type', 'tunnel_service': 'your-tunnel-service', 'authtoken': 'Your-ngrok-authtoken', 'region': 'Your-region'}
• serverconfig.txt: The file tell you the server which are in used also the minercraft server list. | {'server_list': 'Server-list', 'server_in_use': 'Server-in-use'}
  • If you use ngrok service, serverconfig.txt will include: {'server_list': 'Server-list', 'server_in_use': 'Server-in-use', "ngrok_proxy": {'authtoken': 'Your-ngrok-authtoken', 'region': 'Your-region'}}
