   https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download
2. Install Spigot Server
   https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-installation/#linux
3. Install BuildTools and run to build spigot-X.XX.X.jar (where X.XX.X is the latest version, for instance spigot-1.17.1.jar) https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

Linux Install Instructions

1. Clone this repository
2. Create a new Java workspace and open the HungerGames root folder as an existing project.
3. You need to configure the build path to use spigot-X.XX.X.jar as an external archive.
   a) The exact file name may be different depending on the latest version, but it will always be something like "spigot-X.XX.X.jar"

To Run The Server

1. Create a new directory for your server. Inside it, you must have a COPY of the spigot-X.XX.X.jar JAR file

2. Create a file start.sh to start your server with the command java -Xms#G -Xmx#G -XX:+UseG1GC -jar spigot-X.XX.X.jar nogui
   a) Change the # to however much memory you wish to allocate to the server
   b) Change the name of spigot-X.XX.X.jar to the latest version of spigot

3. Inside the server directory you must create another directory named plugins

4. Export from your workspace the project's plugin.yml as a .JAR file into the plugins directory

5. Start your server with ./start.sh
