Self-hosting minecraft

2 years ago by Shimitar to c/selfhosted

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/... and so far, super smooth and easy peasy!

Quick version:

Install latest Java
Install latest Minecraft Java server
Play vanilla Minecraft

Rabbit hole:

Bedrock / Java version differences
Modpacks, mods and Minecraft version differences (1.12, 1.20) require different Java versions.
Official server vs 3rd party software (papermc, purpur...)
Publicly open server vs firewalled

Can I make my Linux Minecraft talk to my Xbox Minecraft?

If both are Bedrock, then no problem.
