Acacia biome spawn with trees and resources in a new hardcore world.

This is my first time journaling a Minecraft hardcore world, my son Wyatt is also documenting his journey in a survival world on wyattbubbylee.com.

I logged into a brand new hardcore world. I was welcomed by a great Acacia biome spawn full of resources. I quickly cut my first tree, crafted an axe and set out to find my first sheep. I was able to find enough sheep for a bed, several cows and pigs.

In my adventure to put more homelab in docker, I moved our modded minecraft setup to docker.

So far I have found all of our mods from curse forge. modpacks make getting multiple mods working together much easier, someone else has already vetted a pack of often times 100+ mods that all play well together. I have yet to get these working in docker, I will, but for not I just have individual mods.

I’ve ran a Minecraft server at home since December 2017 for me and my son to play on. We start a brand new one somewhere between every day and every week. The older he gets the longer the server lasts.

My buddy Nic has been sharing me some of his homelab setup, and it’s really got me to thinking about what I can run at home, and Dockerizing all the things. Today I found a really sweet github repo that had a minecraft server running in docker with a pretty incredible setup.

I ended up running the first thing in the Readme that included a volume mount. If you are going to run this container, I HIGHLY reccomend that you make sure that you have your world volume mounted, otherwise it will die with your docker container.
