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!

My kids and I use https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-bedrock-server and I would recommend it.

Hi, ended up using your suggestion, super smooth and easy.

[–] ArrowMax@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago

Hijacking: With the above solution, it's also super easy to install modpacks and I would recommend Modrinth as both the modded Minecraft launcher and mod-shareplace.

Went the same route last year and had no issues.

Just FYI bedrock will only work if the kids are on tablets.

Edit: and consoles

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Bedrock is on all platforms, pc included. Java is PC only.

Why does bedrock only work on tablets?

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's how Microsoft designed it. The tablet and console versions are bedrock, the PC is Java. But others here have said there are modded server versions or plugins that let bedrock players play on Java servers.

No, PC isn't Java only. PC is the only platform that can play Java, while literally everything else - PC included - can play Bedrock.

Bedrock has been the norm now for longer than Java was; sorry.

On windows, how do you install Minecraft? I got into a loop of fucking MS bullshit that want me to pay $$€ just for installing it and it feels... scammy...

Well, it's Microsoft after all... But I cannot believe now Minecraft is pay to run...

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hosting the server is free. I'm actually not sure about windows because I don't use that. We actually play on our iPads. We have a family set up. Pay once for the app, everybody gets to install it on their own device.

For free stuff I think people run Java edition? Again, I've never done that. There is an itzg Java server container https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

FWIW Bedrock lets you connect to servers online that have free games to play like Bed Wars, Sky Wars, Block Party. I don't know if Java has that.
