Self-hosting minecraft (downonthestreet.eu)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

Hi! I want to selfhost a minecraft server for my kid and hjs friends. I havent played minecraft in quite a few years ...

Where do I start to self host one?

I am already seflhosting lost of stuff from 'Arrs to Jellyfin and Immich and more, so I am not asking on how to do it technically, but where to look for and what to host for a proper Minecraft server!

Edit: choosed to setup this https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-bedrock-server and so far, super smooth and easy peasy!

OK, I respect your opinion.

I'm coming from a place of administering a server and I attest to this:

  • Minecraft players want their particular mods on their particular seed, they don't see value in armadillos and whatever other nonsense MS is "releasing".
  • most of my player base has moved on to Vintage Story because Minecraft itself is stagnating like counterstrike did. And now we have the same situation CS had, where there's a huge base of mc players who are stuck on old versions because, let's be honest, Minecraft is stale AF under microsoft.
  • just because modern hardware is better at running vanilla doesn't mean paper won't run even better.
