User story

As a server administrator, I want to be able to install Minecraft Bedrock Edition dedicated server easily

Game

Minecraft Bedrock

Linux distro

Other

Command

command: update, command: install

Further information

A recent update to the Minecraft download site has changed the URL for downloads. This results in Minecraft servers with their version set to latest to fail to update
The current URL used in mcb_update.sh is
'https://minecraft.azureedge.net/bin-linux/[^"]*'
However this is no longer found on the page, resulting in update and installs to fail.
This is now
'https://www.minecraft.net/bedrockdedicatedserver/bin-linux/[^"]*'

curl | grep output included in logs as evidence.

The original URL still works to download, so systems configured with a specific version will still work (for now).
It's mainly that the download page no longer uses the URL so the lookup for remote build of Latest fails.

Relevant log output

~$ curl -H "Accept-Encoding: identity" -H "Accept-Language: en" -Ls -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.${randomint}.212 Safari/537.36" "https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock/" | grep -o 'https://minecraft.azureedge.net/bin-linux/[^"]*'
