![]() Otherwise, we will not be able to build or launch the server.Įnter the following command to install the default JDK package for Raspbian as well as the Git software. Next, we need to make sure that Java and Git is installed. To ensure that the IP doesn’t change you might want to setup a static IP address.Ĩ. To get the Raspberry Pi IP address, enter the hostname command. We will now want the IP address of our Pi for when we try to connect to our server. Finally, also enable SSH so we can access the Pi remotely if required (Unless you already have it enabled).Ĩ. If possible, change overclocking to High.Ħ. This change will help give the server as much processing power as possible.ĥ. Also, you don’t want to boot into the Raspbian desktop, so ensure the boot option is set to the CLI (Command Line Interface) instead. This will allow for more memory to be free for the server.Ĥ. ![]() First, let’s go to Advanced Options->Memory Split, update this to 16. If you need more information regarding the raspi-config tool check out our guide.ģ. Let’s bring the tool up by entering the following line. ![]() Now we will need to make a couple of changes in the config tool. First, let’s bring Raspbian up to the latest version by entering the following. It is probably best we boot straight into the terminal so we can save on memory by not loading the GUI.ġ. In this tutorial, we will work entirely in the terminal. ![]() I highly recommend updating to Jessie, Stretch, or Buster. If not, then you will find that Java is not installed, this will need to be done if you wish to get this server working. Important: You will need to be on the latest versions of Raspbian Buster. It will take you through all the steps that you will need to do. If you haven’t already done this, then check out my awesome guide on installing NOOBs Raspberry Pi. Setting up the Raspberry Pi Minecraft Serverįirstly, we will need to install Raspbian onto the Raspberry Pi. If you like the video, please make sure you subscribe or follow us on social, so you’re kept up to date. Otherwise, I have a detailed text explanation immediately below the video. If you want to see how to setup the server, then check out my video below. Ethernet Cable or Wi-Fi (I recommend using an ethernet for the best network performance).Please find the equipment that I used for making this Raspberry Pi Minecraft server below. We will also set it up so you can access it on the web and reboot if the Pi goes offline for any reason. We will make a few changes to optimize the server for the Raspberry Pi 2, 3, or 4 if you have one. In this project, we will utilize Java that should already be installed on the Raspberry Pi (If you’re using the full version of Raspbian). The official Java version may improve over time. I found that it will crash a lot, be laggy, and is very unstable. ![]() We are also going to be using the spigot version of Minecraft as the default install didn’t work for me. I found the optimal amount of people is only two to three, but this can be improved upon by tweaking the server. It is very important to know that this server will not be able to hold many people.įrom my experience, anything over five people and the server will start to get a bit wonky. I have had mine running for quite some time now and haven’t come across too many problems. A Raspberry Pi Minecraft server is a cost-effective way to have your very own private server with your friends or just for stuffing around on. ![]()
