This package provides an init script and a conf file. You don't have to modify those files directly, but instead you can make a symlink of that init script and a copy of that conf file. You would do this for every server, you want to setup. For example, you wan't to setup an world called 'gentoo', you would do: cd /etc/init.d ln -s minecraft-server minecraft-server.gentoo cd /etc/conf.d cp minecraft-server minecraft-server.gentoo After that, make your settings in /etc/conf.d/minecraft-server.gentoo. If you don't make a symlink, but use the default scripts, your world will be called 'main'. To interact with the console of the corresponding world, you can use the extra command attach: rc-service minecraft-server attach rc-service minecraft-server.gentoo attach
