The latest minecraft-server update (bug ID 192191) unfortunately has a couple
of issues:

The bin/minecraft-server script refers to version 1.7.10 but the port installs
version 1.8.

minecraft-server does no longer work in "daemon mode" due to the removal of the
sysutils/tmux logic. This is a rather unfortunate feature removal. Please add
it again.

Install ignores the existing contents of configuration files of a previous
1.4.6 installation located in /usr/local/etc/minecraft/. Since the config file
syntax has changed from plain text to JSON (except for server.properties) it
might seem sensible to convert automatically. As a minimum, users should be
advised to make the necessary adjustments from old to new version.

Deinstall removes /usr/local/etc/minecraft-server/* but this directory contains
precious configuration data (such as server configuration, whitelist, etc.).
Please modify pkg-plist to keep these files upon deinstall and add an
appropriate note to pkg-install to remove it when really not longer needed
(similar to /var/db/minecraft-server etc).
