## **Introduction**
|
|
|
|
Minecraft is a great game and when it comes to multiplayer a
|
|
dedicated server is the way to go. To name a few features you can
|
|
customise the server properties, make use of the whitelist as well as
|
|
include a curated set of mods. Myself and a few others recently
|
|
decided to start playing this wonderful game again and I took the
|
|
opportunity to deploy a server in my lab. As of writing this we have
|
|
began the hunt for ender pearls !!
|
|
|
|
A Minecraft server does not require a ton of resources to run However
|
|
from my experience the more resources you can throw at it the better
|
|
especially when you start to introduce mods and more than 10 players.
|
|
|
|
I run our server on my main PC within WSL and Docker. This allows me
|
|
to leverage the system resources in my PC 🦾 leaving the [Pi Cluster](https://blog.ahmza.com/posts/building-a-docker-swarm-with-pis/)
|
|
to handle the rest of the stuff in my lab. The only reason I opted to
|
|
go this route is because I don't want our server to be limited by
|
|
hardware resources as well as the Minecraft server effecting the
|
|
overall performance of the Pis
