Feature Request: Allow adding to server PATH about nix-minecraft HOT 1 CLOSED

The reason why it can't find it in PATH is because the PATH for the service you are running the server in doesn't include it. (systemd services, by design, are isolated from the user's path).

This is less a mod-side feature request, and more so a request to be able to add things to a server's systemd service path.

With regards to your 3 ideas:

1. Mods can already access the PATH, it's just that the PATH they can access isn't the one you are expecting.
2. Is also already the case, it just (currently) isn't possible to add to that server's PATH, which is something I could fix
3. Isn't actually a bad idea, (And technically, is already being done, just in a very basic 'download a file' way.) it would just be quite verbose if you needed to write a whole derivation for every mod. If I add support for getting native programs from mod derivations, I'd add a helper to make it less verbose, and just have you put in the native programs yourself.
