use only point releases, disable beta version support

[kls0e]

Since today, my server reports 1.19.10-beta20 which is too new for our iOS clients to connect to (currently 1.18.31). I know there is a beta preview for iOS but it is closed, and I would like the server to only run the latest point release. -e VERSION=1.18 results in a 404, and -e VERSION=PREVIOUS results in 1.17.

Just to note you can specify VERSION=1.18.33.02 - you need a specific point release - I found the correct server version at https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Bedrock_Edition_1.18.33

@kls0e please provide your container config, especially what you used for VERSION, and the logs. What you describe doesn't seem possible since it locates the version from https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock ...unless they accidentally published the beta in place of the release build.

Think they did, same issue for me

There is a note on this page https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock which looks a little odd

Ah, I didn't notice the big red note just earlier 😀. Sounds like explicitly setting VERSION will be required for a bit.

Hi @kornysietsma, did you managed to make it run with -e VERSION=1.18.33.02? No matter what I use it keeps using the beta version. @itzg I checked the bedrock-entry.sh file and it seems to me that the case statement only goes to version 1.17. After that it defaults to the LATEST version, in this case the beta. Ah, thank you for everything, my family already had a lot of fun thanks to you! 😀

There's a wildcard/catch-all at the end that leaves VERSION as given

Hi @kornysietsma, did you managed to make it run with -e VERSION=1.18.33.02?

Yes - note I'm not using docker-compose, just a very simple commandline script:

docker run -d -it --name korny_minecraft \
  -e EULA=TRUE -e GAMEMODE=survival -e SERVER_NAME=my_server -e DIFFICULTY=easy  \
  -e VERSION=1.18.33.02 \
  -v /home/korny/minecraft/data:/data \
  -p 19132:19132/udp itzg/minecraft-bedrock-serve

I can confirm that adding the VERSION=1.18.33.02 to the docker-compose downgrades the server and launches the expected version.

It worked for me too, thanks @kornysietsma!

in a docker-compose file the following line worked for me

environment:
   VERSION: "1.18.33.02"
