        environment:
        EULA: "TRUE"
        TZ: "America/New_York"
        GAMEMODE: "survival"
        DIFFICULTY: "peaceful"
        ALLOW_CHEATS: "true"
        DEFAULT_PLAYER_PERMISSION_LEVEL: operator
        ONLINE_MODE: "false"
        restart: always
        ports:
        - 19132:19132/udp
        volumes:
        - ./data:/data
        stdin_open: true
        tty: true
