[2024-02-08 06:26:50:934 INFO] Server Telemetry is currently not enabled.
[2024-02-08 06:26:50:934 INFO] Enabling this telemetry helps us improve the game.

[2024-02-08 06:26:50:934 INFO] to the server.properties file in the handheld/src-server directory
[2024-02-08 06:26:50:935 INFO] ======================================================Some configuration needs to be passed as an ENV when server is being created - for instance seed or difficulty level.
In order to change those, update the ConfigMap in kubernetes.yml file and start/restart the server.
Other things can only be configured on a running server - for instance showing coordinates.
Those can be changed using Minecraft Bedrock commands -> https://minecraftbedrock-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Commands/List_of_Commands.
In order to run command on a server use make bash + send-command:
$ make bash
root@bds-0:/data# send-command gamerule showCoordinates true
root@bds-0:/data# You can also add some commands you often run on new server to Makefile and apply them with make config.
Pro tip - run make logs in one terminal tab and commands in another, to see if they are being processed correctly.
On first start a ~/minecraft-data folder will be created (if not existing).
It can be backed up by copying to another path/drive.
To restore the backup restore those files and restat the server.
Server listens on TCP/UDP port 19132.
Server runs in a local network (LAN).
Local IP can be used to connect to the server by clients in the same network.
To find out your local IP check System Settings -> Network -> pick active network -> Details -> IP address.
To access from the Internet (outside of LAN) redirect port 19132 TCP/UDP on your router to a server local IP.
Use your network public IP (google: "what is my ip") to connect or configure a Dynamic DNS service.
