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!

Because paper and others don't run like garbage, unlike vanilla MC.

I've had zero issues running vanilla in a basic VM.

Try paper or fabric, add Aikar's Flags (https://docs.papermc.io/paper/aikars-flags) and marvel at the high ticks!

With the current Minecraft monthly updates, paper is always behind on the latest features. There are also minor problems that paper introduces with its performance improvements.

Years ago paper was critical for a good Minecraft experience, but a newer PC (newer than 6 years old) runs great on vanilla.

OK, I respect your opinion.

I'm coming from a place of administering a server and I attest to this:

Minecraft players want their particular mods on their particular seed, they don't see value in armadillos and whatever other nonsense MS is "releasing".
most of my player base has moved on to Vintage Story because Minecraft itself is stagnating like counterstrike did. And now we have the same situation CS had, where there's a huge base of mc players who are stuck on old versions because, let's be honest, Minecraft is stale AF under microsoft.
just because modern hardware is better at running vanilla doesn't mean paper won't run even better.

I run 7th gen Intel hardware for my server cluster. Minecraft VMs run totally fine.

I ran a server on a raspberry pi 3, paper was the only real option on that kind of hardware.
