+# Minecraft-bridge
+
+This repository hosts a Minecraft server that is also connected to a Matrix client.
+
+This way, communication is enabled between a Minecraft server and a Matrix room.
+
+## Setup
+
+To create a Docker image, go to this folder and run the following command:
+
+```
+docker build -t matrix-mc-server ./
+```
+
+Then, once a Docker image has been created, you can run the following command to run a Minecraft server. In `config.py`, you can find additional environment variables you can insert to alter settings on the Minecraft server.
+
+```
+docker run --name mc-server \
+-p 25565:25565 \
+-v "<folder in which your store your Minecraft world>":/usr/src/app/world \
+-e EULA=true \
+-e MATRIX_HOMESERVER='<your matrix homeserver>' \
+-e MATRIX_USERNAME='<matrix bridge client username>' \
+-e MATRIX_PASSWORD='<matrix bridge client password>' \
+-e MC_CHANNEL='<channel in which you communicate>' \
+-e SERVER_ADDRESS='<ip address where players can connect to the server>' \
+mc-bridge
+```
+
+This should successfully launch your bridged Minecraft server.
