LCEMP Dedicated Server
A dedicated server for Legacy Console Edition. This allows you to host a standalone server for LCE. Supports a maximum of 32 players and Voice Chat. (max 8 players on voice chat for now)
Building
You need the main LCEMP repository to build the dedicated server, as it depends on the shared Minecraft.World and Minecraft.Client sources.
Linux
Requires CMake 3.10+ and a C++ compiler with C++11 support (GCC or Clang).
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../Minecraft.Server -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build . --target MinecraftDedicatedServer
The binary will be at build/MinecraftDedicatedServer.
Windows
Open Minecraft.Server.vcxproj in Visual Studio (2012 or later with the v110 toolset, or 2022 with v143) and build.
Running
On Linux, run the binary directly:
./MinecraftDedicatedServer
On Windows, run MinecraftDedicatedServer.exe from a command prompt or by double-clicking it.
On first launch the server generates a default server.properties file, which you can edit to configure the server.
