Minecraft – batch script to download the latest Craftbukkit Build

minecraft-bukkitminecraft-java-edition

How can I write a batch script (Windows) that will download the latest Craftbukkit Build and put it in a certain directory whenever I run it?

So has anyone overcome the problem of updating Bukkit without a lot of hassle?

PS: Bonus points to anyone that can automatically update plugins too.

On linux I'm using wget and you can use it too even on Windows, try i.e. "complete package ..." from here. Then write some batch file which you can call by Windows task scheduler (don't forget to -O wget parameter). For this automatic updating use only RB (recommended build), anyway you must restart your server. For plugins updating you can call reload from the server or restart again (see this).

Minecraft – Find out the latest version of Minecraft

mcupdate.tumblr.com, with which you can subscribe to with RSS, seems to reliably report the latest version as the newest post with the title Minecraft [x.x(.x)].

EDIT

I'm slightly drunk, and feeling bashy, so here's a command that will return the latest version of Minecraft:

 curl -s http://mcupdate.tumblr.com/rss | egrep -o -e 'le>Minecraft [0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]|le>Minecraft [0-9]\.[0-9]' | head -1 | egrep -o -e '[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]|[0-9]\.[0-9]'

Minecraft – script to determine Minecraft Server Jar Version

If you are on MacOSX or Linux, I think this command does pretty much what you want:

unzip -p server.jar version.json | grep "name"

In my case it responds with "name": "1.14.4",

If you are on Windows I assume you could do something similar with PowerShell
