Let’s connect an play on your new server! It will take a minute or two as the world builds, your subsequent launches won’t take this long. This time the output will be much different as the server builds the map during this launch. Let’s execute java -jar -Xmx3500m -Xms1024m spigot-1.15.2.jar again. With our eula file updated we’re ready to run the server for the first time- at the terminal press the up key on your keyboard to pre-fill commands already executed instead of typing them all out again. In the nano editor change eula=false to reflect eula=true then press CTRL+X and Y to save. To first boot your server type in java -jar -Xmx3500m -Xms1024m spigot-1.15.2.jar (depending on when you set this up the version of Spigot may have changed- running LS in your minecraft directory will list all of your files- run the spigot-1.xx.x.jar file that’s appropriate for you)Īt first launch you’ll get an error saying that eula.txt failed to load and we need to agree to it. Grab a cup of coffee while your Pi does it’s thing…This will take several minutes Now we wait. Next let’s run the BuildTools.Jar- this process will take several minutes to download then patch the Vanilla Minecraft server jar file. In Windows PowerShell you can right click in the terminal to paste the above URL, in Mac OS you can paste as usual. Next type in cd minecraft to enter the minecraft directory, you should see the terminal change to reflect what directory you’re located. Let’s create a directory for all of our files to be located. Once the install is complete we’re ready to download the latest Spigot and get rolling. Install Java by entering sudo apt install default-jdk Once logged in we will need to install java so we can run the server jar files. Let’s reboot the Pi now- sudo reboot (you’ll lose connection via SSH and need to reestablish the connection after a minute or so to let the Pi reboot. Press CTRL +x to save hit ‘y’ to save changes, then enter to write the changes. This step is optional, but I’ve got a big heatsink case on my Pi and I want to extract all the power I can so I’ll configure a small overclock to the Pi.Īfter the header add in the following lines The upgrade command may take time depending on how many packages need to be updated. You’ll then be prompted for your password, input the password you created upon first boot.įirst let’s run a command to update all of our packages within our installation On Windows you’ll open up PowerShell to SSH into your Pi and on Mac OS you can open a terminal window.Įnter in the following to ssh into your Pi: ssh may be warned that the authenticity can’t be validated type yes to continue forward. With your Pi’s IP in hand you can pop back into Windows or Mac OS for the next steps as we don’t need physical access to the Pi any longer. If you don’t see it run ifconfig to locate.

This tutorial will assume you’re familiar with how to flash an OS onto your SD card. Adding plugins will impact performance but the RPI 4 seems to be more than capable to serve as a MC server. How does it run on the little Pi? You’d be surprised, the world generation is fast and the server rarely misses ticks, you should be able to play with two to three people without issue. We will use Spigot as our server core because it’s a highly optimized version of the Minecraft server files- it also allows you to add in some plugins as well! (drop your server plugins into the Plugins folder once you’ve got your server up and running) The following is a quick write up of how to get a basic Minecraft server up and running on your RPI 4.
