Usage on Windows

Make sure you meet all requirements.

Download the lazymc-*-windows.exe Windows executable for your system from the latest release page.

Place the binary in your Minecraft server directory, and rename it to lazymc.exe.

Open a terminal, go to the server directory, and make sure you can execute it:

.\lazymc --help

When lazymc is ready, set up the configuration and start it up:

# In your Minecraft server directory:

# Generate lazymc configuration
.\lazymc config generate

# Edit configuration
# Set the correct server address, directory and start command
notepad lazymc.toml

# Start lazymc
.\lazymc start

Before you use this in production, please ensure starting and stopping the server works as expected by connecting to it once. Watch lazymcs output while it starts and stops. If stopping results in errors, fix this first to prevent corrupting world/user data.

Follow this repository with the Watch button on the top right to be notified of new releases.

Everything should now be ready to go! Connect with your Minecraft client to wake your server up!

_Note: if you put lazymc in PATH, or if you install it through Cargo, you can invoke lazymc everywhere directly without the .\ prefix.
