sudo
is needed by the minecraft server management script to run everything as the minecraft user. While one could replace sudo
calls with simple su
ones, using sudo
allows the user to configure rules for who can control the minecraft server on a system.
EDIT: Using the sticky bit and doing the permission handling oneself is disallowed by the kernel for good reasons for all interpreted executables.

To get an overview of the available options provided by the management script, be sure to have a look at the help page or read the according section on the ArchWiki article [1].
You can quit the console without shutting down the server by press ctrl+a d (first ctrl+a and after releasing the buttons press d; ctrl+b also works). This will detach your input from the server console. The attaching and detaching is done with tmux (previously GNU screen) since it lets you view and type into the console, send single commands to it and keep it alive without a connected user. Take a look at the the command overview at the ArchWiki [2] to get a feel for its power. (@carmelo12341)
