Running Minecraft in Windows Containers

  • Article

Here is a short video that I put together where I create and run 11 Minecraft servers from scratch in ~8 minutes using Windows containers.

Note - this is all running on my laptop - which was quite hot by the end of this :-)

Over the next week or two I will share the notes and details on how I got this all setup so that you can do it yourself - but I wanted to get this video out early so people could see what was possible.

Cheers,
Ben

    Very nice, Ben! Using Minecraft Servers as an example was an interesting twist... Looking forward to those details.

    This is interesting, especially since I'm stuck on a Minecraft/Hyper-V installation at the moment. In my case, I am running Win10 Pro x64 inside Win10 Pro x64 (i5 2500K) yet Minecraft client wont run properly and yields an error msg "Pixel Format Not Accelerated ...". Hyper-V reports DX9e installed tho i think DX11 is required. Any idea how to resolve this?

    Ben, did you ever happen to post the notes? If so, I couldn't find them.  I was going to try diving into this, and was looking for a kick start. :)
