I used a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB RAM. I also installed the 64 Bit OS which is still in beta. I used 64 Bit version so I can use more RAM for Java to increase performance.
Raspbian OS Install
I installed the 64 Bit Beta release until the Raspberry Pi Foundation officially releases a 64 Bit version of their OS.
https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/
Download and flash to SD card.
Default to Console not GUI
raspi-config
Select:
- System Option
- Boot
- Console
Remove x11
Remove all the unnecessary GUI files. Not required but saves a bit of disk space.
apt remove --purge x11-common wolfram-engine libreoffice sudo apt autoremove
Minecraft Install
Prerequisites
apt install git openjdk-11-jre-headless
Spigot
mkdir /opt/spigot cd /opt/spigot wget https://hub.spigotmc.org/jenkins/job/BuildTools/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/BuildTools.jar git config --global --unset core.autocrlf java -jar BuildTools.jar --rev latest
Minecraft Server
If the following URL does not work you will need to go to https://mcversions.net/ and find the latest version.
mkdir /opt/minecraft wget https://launcher.mojang.com/v1/objects/1b557e7b033b583cd9f66746b7a9ab1ec1673ced/server.jar -O /opt/minecraft/1.16.5_server.jar wget https://cdn.getbukkit.org/craftbukkit/craftbukkit-1.16.5.jar -O /opt/minecraft/craftbukkit-1.16.5.jar cp /opt/spigot/spigot-1.16.5.jar /opt/minecraft/
Run
cd /opt/minecraft java -Xms2048M -Xmx2560M -jar spigot-1.16.5.jar nogui
EULA
The first time you run Minecraft Server, the server will start and then a short time later will stop. the server will create a number of files. You will need to edit a file to accept End-user license agreement (EULA).
vi /opt/minecraft/eula.txt
change
eula=false
to
eula=true
Start Minecraft Server again.
Notes
- The rPi will run Minecraft Server but it is not ideal.
- The CPU can't always keep up with requests and occasionally there will be a brief lag spike to the server to catch-up.
- I don't think the 8GB model or the rPi will help as I believe it to be a CPU issue not something that RAM can address.
