🎮 Renovate Minecraft Datasource

Custom Renovate datasource for tracking Minecraft Java Edition versions.

🚀 Setup

1. Enable Renovate for your repository: Getting Started Guide

2. Add configuration:

   • Option A: Copy renovate.json to your repository
   • Option B: Add the customManagers and customDatasources from renovate.json to your existing renovate.json

3. Add the renovate comment to any file where you want to track Minecraft versions

Examples

Track releases in docker-compose.yml:

services:
  minecraft:
    image: itzg/minecraft-server
    environment:
      # renovate: datasource=custom.minecraft-release
      VERSION: "1.21.8"

Track snapshots in a versions file:

# renovate: datasource=custom.minecraft-snapshot
minecraft_snapshot: "25w35a"

Track in Dockerfile:

# renovate: datasource=custom.minecraft-release
ENV MINECRAFT_VERSION=1.21.8

📡 Data Source

• API: https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest_v2.json
• Release datasource: custom.minecraft-release
• Snapshot datasource: custom.minecraft-snapshot

How it Works

1. Renovate fetches versions from Mojang's API
2. Filters by release type (release/snapshot)
3. Creates PRs when new versions are available
4. Updates your versions.yml file
