okay I am an absolute noob at Minecraft, my housemate and his kid are into it tho and we want to get the kiddo into modding and shit like that
can anybody tell me the minimum hardware specs for running a private home Minecraft server, and which client platformas/apps can actually connect to such a thing? or is there a guide out there with an overview?
dude wants to learn about Linux and virtualization anyway, I figure this is a great start
@deutrino I ran one for my family around 6 years ago on a box with 4GB of RAM and a 6 core Phenom ii. Worked fine. Version 1.7 IIRC. The mods we did were just Python scripts pushing commands through the server, no JavaScript stuff. Every new version broke stuff. Minetest is less mature, but turned out to be just as fun, way more snappy, and our mods stopped breaking. Plus we don’t have to rely on Microsoft’s authentication servers to log in.
@deutrino I don’t think so, but I also used the box as a client.
@daniel cool. thanks for the info! I think they would mostly be playing on tablets/phones.
@deutrino Minetest worked on Android but I don’t think it works on IOS.
@daniel that's helpful to know, thanks. and it doesn't need or expect a GPU?
