Fabric

Enable Fabric server mode by adding a -e TYPE=FABRIC to your command-line.

docker run -d -v /path/on/host:/data \
    -e TYPE=FABRIC \
    -p 25565:25565 -e EULA=TRUE --name mc itzg/minecraft-server

By default, the container will install the latest fabric server launcher, using the latest fabric-loader against the minecraft version you have defined with VERSION (defaulting to the latest vanilla release of the game).

A specific loader or launcher version other than the latest can be requested using FABRIC_LOADER_VERSION and FABRIC_LAUNCHER_VERSION respectively, such as:

docker run -d -v /path/on/host:/data ... \
    -e TYPE=FABRIC \
    -e FABRIC_LAUNCHER_VERSION=0.10.2 \
    -e FABRIC_LOADER_VERSION=0.13.1

Note

If you wish to use an alternative launcher you can:

  • Provide the path to a custom launcher jar available to the container with FABRIC_LAUNCHER, relative to /data (such as -e FABRIC_LAUNCHER=fabric-server-custom.jar)
  • Provide the URL to a custom launcher jar with FABRIC_LAUNCHER_URL (such as -e FABRIC_LAUNCHER_URL=http://HOST/fabric-server-custom.jar)

See the Working with mods and plugins section to set up Fabric mods and configuration.
