Enterprise Grade Minecraft On Kubernetes
summary
Runs a single-instance Minecraft server on Kubernetes with a Recreate deployment strategy, SSD-backed storage class (Retain, expandable) and ReadWriteOnce PersistentVolumeClaim mounted at /data; container requests ~5GB with JVM set to 4GB and one pod per node. Mods install via init containers that curl jars into the data volume before startup. Exposes Minecraft TCP, Archon remote-control TCP, and UDP voice chat behind a static IP/load balancer. Backups use a CronJob twice a day that calls Archon to save, snapshots world files to a versioned GCS bucket (keep 5), cost reported ≈ $106/month; restore process is manual.
