Server File Management

Home Folder

Gorp creates a folder named gorpmc in the home folder of the user installing Gorp. This folder contains the server-related files such as worlds, plugins, launch JARs, and backups.

So, if somebody with the home folder of /home/user/ installed Gorp, then the home folder would be /home/user/gorpmc/

The location of the Gorp home folder is shown with gorp -v

Home Folder Contents

The home folder contains:

  • archives Where server and world archives are stored
  • backups Where server and world backups are stored
  • jars Where game JAR files are stored
  • servers Where server folders are stored. Each of these are Minecraft servers that are controlled by Gorp.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THESE FILES ARE NOT CHANGED OUTSIDE OF ANY FILES WITHIN THE SERVERS DIRECTORY. ANYTHING ELSE IS DIRECTLY CONTROLLED BY GORP. CHANGES MAY RESULT IN UNINTENDED BEHAVIOR AND DATA LOSS.

Changing the Home Folder

Move Gorp to a new home folder with

gorp move-home [path]

Where “path” is the absolute path to the new folder, example: gorp move-home /home/user/gorpmc/
