Web — Maps, Status, and Notes

Published at: https://minecraft.locklin.science

Pages

• / — landing page (built from ~/notes/index.html)
• /status.html — server status, regenerated every 5 minutes
• /maps/ — Bluemap world maps
• /notes/ — these docs

Rebuilding the site

make_web

Copies ~/notes/index.html and ~/notes/style.css to ~/public_html/, converts all ~/notes/*.md files to HTML in ~/public_html/notes/, and builds a notes index page.

Map rendering

mc-render                       # all instances
mc-render paper-1.21.4-survival # one instance

Bluemap renders incrementally — only changed chunks are re-rendered.

Status page

mc-genstatus

Regenerated every 5 minutes via cron. Shows player count and online status.

Editing the landing page

Edit ~/notes/index.html, then run make_web.

Writing a note

1. Create ~/notes/my-topic.md
2. Run make_web

The note appears at /notes/my-topic.html and in the notes index.

Technical notes

• nginx serves plain HTTP on port 80; the VPS reverse proxy adds TLS
• ~/public_html/ is ephemeral (not ZFS snapshotted) — do not store anything there you are not willing to lose
• ~/notes/ IS on the ZFS home partition and is snapshotted
