Introduction
Gorp is used to manage individual instances of Minecraft servers. A Minecraft server is what contains the world files, plugins, and settings for an individual server.
Create & Delete Servers
Create a server
gorp create-server [server] <world>
Where “server” is the server name and “world” is an optional name for the world. If no name is given, the world is given the name “default”.
Delete a server
gorp delete-server [server]
This action is irreversible. Ensure you have a backup of the server and world files!
Start & Stop Servers
Start a server
gorp start [server]
If a world file does not exist, Gorp will ask if you wish to proceed with generating a new world. Answer y to continue if you wish.
Stop a server
By default, Gorp will take a world backup and give a 30 second warning to any players in the server.
gorp stop [server] <fast|now>
Optionally, add “fast” or “now” to the end of the command.
- fast Skips world backup
- now Skips backup and warning (immediate safe shutdown)
Restart a server
gorp restart [server] <fast|now>
The “fast” and “now” options behave like stopping a server (above).
Backup & Restore Servers
Backing up
gorp backup-server [server]
Restoring
gorp restore-server [server]
Gorp will prompt you to browse the backup files and restore the one you want. This will overwrite the current server files! Be sure to take a backup of them before restoring, if desired.
