Deploy and Host Eaglercraft on Railway

Eaglercraft is Minecraft you can play in a web browser. This template hosts a Paper 1.12.2 world with EaglerXServer so friends can join from Chrome, a Chromebook, or any device with a browser — no Java client required.

About Hosting Eaglercraft

This template runs ghcr.io/railbi/eaglercraft-railway:1.1.1 and stores the world, plugin config, and player data in a Railway volume at /data. After deploy, wait for the landing page, open an Eaglercraft 1.12.2 client, and Direct Connect to wss://<your-domain> with no path. Give the service at least 2 GB of RAM; 1 GB will OOM the JVM on boot. Register in chat with /register <password> <password> (AuthMe, offline mode).

Common Use Cases

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

Do not scale replicas. The world cannot be written by two instances at once.
Plugin jars refresh from the image on every boot. Worlds and config.yml stay on the volume.
Java Edition needs a separate TCP proxy on the same container port; browser clients use the public HTTPS domain as wss://YOUR_PUBLIC_DOMAIN.
