Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/3505

User Story

./mcbserver install failed on "Checking remote build"; I checked an existing server with ./mcbserver update and it failed at the same point.

Basic info

Distro: CentOS 8
Game: Minecraft Bedrock
Command: mcbserver
LinuxGSM version: v21.2.4

Further Information

This appears to be caused by Minecraft changing their web server to block access from scriptable command-line clients (see the Mojang bug at https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/WEB-4753). Changing the curl command in the install and update scripts from:

curl -Ls "https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock/"

to:

/usr/bin/curl --cookie -Ls -H "user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/88.0.4324.182 Safari/537.36" "https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock"

got updates working again and allowed install to complete, though ./mcbserver start still doesn't work so there's probably something else as well; I'll update when/if I get that working.

(I don't use curl much, so that command was put together by referencing the man pages and web searching; I have no doubt it can be done better.)

The issue preventing start from working was a missing package that the instructions and prereq check didn't include so I opened a new bug for it at https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/3506.

Just checked this and still working on Ubuntu 20.04 currently. CentOS 8 will need extra work that will be linked with your other PR. The new API end point will be used in a future release.

I’m also unable to install mcbserver on fresh server install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Valheim installed fine. But mcbserver install fails as @us3r1d describes. I’m happy to provide logs if needed.

EDIT:
Changing line 11 and line 82 of /home/mcbserver/lgsm/functions/update_minecraft_bedrock.sh

to latestmcbuildurl=$(curl --cookie -Ls -H "user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/88.0.4324.182 Safari/537.36" "https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock" | grep -o 'https://minecraft.azureedge.net/bin-linux/[^"]*zip')

and remotebuild=$(curl --cookie -Ls -H "user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/88.0.4324.182 Safari/537.36" "https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock" | grep -o 'https://minecraft.azureedge.net/bin-linux/[^"]*' | sed 's/.*\///' | grep -Eo "[.0-9]+[0-9]")
respectively allowed for successful install.

However it may be better to identify lgsm as the user agent rather than fake it. Or use the api to download the game files instead.

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
LinuxGSM v21.2.4

I have the same problem updating the server. Tried both suggestions above (the one in the description and https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/3505#issuecomment-876459810), neither helped, although both result in the following difference in the output compared with the unmodified script:

Before the change:

./mcbserver update
[ FAIL ] Updating mcbserver: Checking remote build: minecraft.net

After the change:

./mcbserver update
[  OK  ] Updating mcbserver: Checking local build: minecraft.net  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
