Motivation for this change
minecraft-server
, as its name implies, is a server, and therefore isn't run with a GUI. Therefore, we can use jre_headless and avoid installing GTK.(Actually, that's not quite true: the minecraft server does have an optional GUI, which is little more than a window with stdin/stdout and some CPU/memory stats. However, our wrapper script turns off the GUI with
nogui
anyway, so I don't think it matters.)Tested by running the NixOS
minecraft-server
service and successfully connecting to the game.Things done
