Self-hosting minecraft (downonthestreet.eu)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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!

Xbox and PlayStation and windows would be the clients platforms...

That means bedrock or I can go java edition as well?

That means Bedrock unless you use the Geyser tool someone else mentioned to allow Bedrock to connect to Java but I have no experience with that and am not sure how reliably it would actually work as they are quite different versions of the game. I have no idea how it would handle mods that are not supported by the Bedrock clients for example.

That would mean bedrock, java is limited to pc's only.
