Hi, I need to stop the dedicated server, but I can't figure out how to do it. I thought about using MinecraftServer::initiateShutdown(), as it's the only thing I found to do it, but I can't figure out how to get the MinecraftServer instance.

 

Please help, thanks

Why would you want to shut the integrated server down? That doesn't sound like a good thing....

I have a world generator that needs internet access to fetch data through a web API which requires a token. I want to stop the integrated server if the token is invalid and display a message in the logs. I need to do something equivalent for the integrated server, I think through a GUI, but I can't so far because the spawn area is generated before the server starts, and because I can't get an instance of the dedicated server (not the integrated, I made a mistake in my last post).

Mapbox, I am generating a map of the world, so it has to be done while generating.

Sorry, I don't really understand what you mean, English is not my primary language.

I am using Mapbox's API to download the heightmap used by my IChunkGenerator, and so I need to be able to cancel the world creation if the token is invalid (If I get a 401 response from the web API), from IChunkGenerator::provideChunk(), as each chunk can be on a new tile to download and as the token can be invalidated if the player makes more requests than he is able to with his Mapobox account.

Ideally, a GUI prompting for a valid token should be displayed on the client and a message asking to edit the config file printed to stdout on the dedicated server.

I don't think this is possible but if you have any idea how to make something similar please tell because I want to do something user-friendly and at the moment, the token is stored in the config and having an invalid one will simply crash the game.

Even on the client game? There is no way to show a GUI when the world is being generated by the integrated server?

And how can I stop the dedicated server without just crashing it? I can't find any way to get an instance like I would do on the client with Minecratf#getMinecraft()

Ok, thanks for your help, I think I will try the hard thing first for the client game as I don't want to completely crash the clientit, but maybe I will come back at it later with more experience if I can't find a way to work around it.
