Even if you have a dongle that does support a wireless AC connection it will slow down your Pi by adding overhead to the USB bus which is an extremely limited resource on the Pi because the Pi basically shares that bus with everything else and we need those lanes as clear as possible. If you have a Pi3 the wireless chip only supports wireless N and not wireless AC on the broader bandwidths. Unless you have absolutely no choice you should directly wire the PI to your router with an ethernet cable. Wireless is *not recommended* for a dedicated server or any kind! Wireless adds so much overhead not to mention signal strength issues, interference with all nearby access points, etc. The official Raspberry Pi power supply or the Canakit power supply (linked below in my configuration) will suffice. Do not plug this into a USB hub unless you know it is powered and has more than enough power for the Raspberry Pi. A highly rated power supply capable of providing more than enough of the power we need.
This is command line only and we cannot use an X environment because we need all available memory for the Minecraft server Latest Raspbian Lite image (currently Buster) We need the Lite version because ALL of the Pi’s resources will need to be devoted to running the server.
It is extremely important you do not skimp on this as IO performance is the biggest bottleneck in the Raspberry Pi when running a Minecraft server) Here are some benchmarks of SD cards on Raspberry Pi for comparison.
The price of the Pi would get you approximately 6 months of a Realms server and probably much more from private hosts. If you just want to run a Minecraft server, especially one with more than a few people, you are much better off buying a realms subscription or one of the many dedicated Minecraft server options. Should you buy a Raspberry Pi just to run it as a Minecraft server? Absolutely not. Let me answer a big question right off the bat.

This means the server is suitable for full survival mode just like a regular vanilla Minecraft server.

Most tutorials are very outdated and tell you to turn your view distance all the way down to 4 (meaning you can’t see very far), or turn your entities (monsters/animals) down to settings so low that they hardly spawn or you can walk right up next to them before you see you.Īfter much research, trial and error, and spending time in the #Paper IRC channel talking to the smartest people in the Minecraft server configuration world I have been able to get the Minecraft Server (popular Paper fork based on Spigot) to run at vanilla settings (view distance 10, no reduction in entity settings).

I have read many tutorials on Google about how to set up a “great performing” Minecraft server on your Raspberry Pi and have been sorely disappointed by the results. ATTENTION: Newer guide is available! View the updated version here
