A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

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!

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?

Yes, you probably want Geyser: https://geysermc.org/

If both are Bedrock, then no problem.
