Basic Information (IMPORTANT)

Mine Colab [Improved]

Run Minecraft Server on Google Colab

Today, I will explain the basic information for developing the main functions. Because each main function has its own small function, I will tell it on the page that describes the main function not in this page.

Python libraries:

Libraries	Commands	Uses	X	Libraries	Commands	Uses
os	environ()	Setting java environment	X	jproperties	Properties()	Read server.properties files
os.path	exists()	Checking exsisting folder	X	rich	print()	print color texts
requests	get()	HTML Parse	X	google.colab	drive()	Mounting google drive
time	sleep()	Wait for done (Commands)	X	pyngrok	ngrok()	Ngrok connecting
json	load()	Transform to dict type	X	pyngrok	conf()	Ngrok configuring
json	dump()	Dumping dict values to .txt files	X	bs4	BeautifulSoup4()	HTML Parse

Global variables:

• drive_path : Path to your drive files.
• SERVERCONFIG : Path to your serverconfig.txt file.
• COLABCONFIG : Function but used for getting the path to colabconfig.txt file.
• JAR_LIST_RUN : Function, return dict value including jar file name for each software.
