Dev notes

Roadmap

check server status (n_players, uptime) -> verbose mode prints joined players

Start/save/stop server/service -> needs to be able to type commands in screen OR start server here --> /say group messages in minecraft

resolve names to ids: search group for name, return id, group only implicit conversion -> message entity type "mention" get rank of all users -> \rank Robin =>\rank 213243
