#Craftitizer

cri

cri, short for CRaftitizer Installation, is for setting up and running your Minecraft server instance. It is written in Python and uses a package system based in Python modules dynamically loaded at run-time to provide rich control over the server installation.

// TODO Add more here

crsplit

crsplit is another command-line utility for setting up a directory structure on Linux that allows for cri's crsplit server executor to run like things. It uses overlayfs with the following directories:

• exec : Where runtime and configuration data is stored.

• data : Where world data stored at runtime is stored.

• .work : The internal overlayfs "work" directory.

• live : Mount point for the composited data where the server is run.

It does not persist across reboots, but cri has a mechanism for detecting if crsplit needs to be run again. The executable should be owned by root and be marked as setuid otherwise everything doesn't work. It mounts the "filesystem" with nosetuid so there is not security vulnerability.

kkgenconf

kkgenconf essentially just loads a Bukkit plugin and invokes JavaPlugin:onEnable() on them. But in order to do that it has to pretend to set up a whole server, so this implements a small portion of the Bukkit API. And at that point it was also easy enough to add a "game loop" that you can essentially use as just something to keep simple stuff like VoteSend running without taking up a port or worrying about ticking worlds or handling players or anything.
