MineCker
by CookieX_a
MineCker is a NeoForge library that lets server operators run Docker commands from inside the game, using the Docker CLI on the host machine.
What it does
Operators with OP permission can send Docker commands from the in-game chat, such as listing containers, pulling images or starting a new container. The commands are relayed to the Docker Engine on the machine running the server, so the host needs Docker installed, either as Docker Engine or Docker Desktop. MineCker targets Windows and Linux hosts and passes the command through the system shell, cmd on Windows and bash -c on Linux.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and only the server needs it. It is published for NeoForge and also listed for the Paper, Spigot and Purpur server platforms. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11, with the latest NeoForge file built for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License as open source. Source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project.
Key features
Docker commands from chat
OP players can run Docker subcommands in game, with the output returned to the chat window.
Container listing
A docker ps command shows the containers currently running on the host machine.
Image management
Images can be listed with docker images and started as containers with docker run, including the hello-world test image.
Shell pass-through
Commands run through cmd on Windows and bash -c on Linux, so the host shell decides how each command is parsed.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
