cuprite

A fast and simple Minecraft server backup thingy.

Install

Pre-compiled binaries (only available for x86-64 Linux systems)

• Download the latest release
• Make the downloaded binary executable

sudo chmod +x cuprite

Compiling from source

If you are on another platform, compile the binary yourself to try it out:

git clone https://github.com/tropicbliss/cuprite
cd cuprite
cargo build --release

Compiling from source requires the latest stable version of Rust. Older Rust versions may be able to compile cuprite, but they are not guaranteed to keep working.

The binary will be located in target/release.

Usage

./cuprite -i world plugins -m 128 -o backups -P password -p 25575 -c 3

Enable RCON

# server.properties

enable-rcon=true
rcon.password=<your password>
rcon.port=<1-65535>
broadcast-rcon-to-ops=false

Automating backups with CRON

It's a good idea to run cuprite on the terminal first to verify that you have inputted your arguments correctly before attempting to automate your backups with CRON.

• Edit the crontab with crontab -e

0 * * * * /path/to/cuprite -i minecraft/world minecraft/world_nether minecraft/world_the_end -o minecraft/backups -P password
