Minecraft Server Build

[Mcronald_]

I'm looking at building a home Minecraft server for about 10 people. I don't want to pay for expensive hosting anymore. However, I am not sure if my build would run a server without issues.

 

Build:

-  Ryzen 3 2200g - Stock Cooler

-  32gb DDR4 3000Mhz RAM

-  256gb M.2 NVME SSD

-  Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H Micro ATX

 

Would this build be able to support a spigot server?

 

Thanks

I would get a 1TB hard drive to hold the server world file on, but otherwise it looks good enough to me.

I'd still make the argument to buy a B450 board

If it's just a Minecraft server, I would prioritize RAM and storage personally. B450 is nice, but you really don't need much for a Minecraft server.

 

OP: make sure you actually allocate that RAM to the server, otherwise it'll just use the default RAM(1024MB).

If it were me, I would look around for used server hardware in your area. Its a learning experience and fun to tinker with that stuff. Just my two cents.

i just did this, and honestly just slapped win 10 pro on and off i went. Far cheaper to buy, tho will be a little more power hungry

Linux would be even better - it's free.

Agree with this guy...can buy older generation servers with over 100gb of ram and no less than 16 threads for no more than $400?  Maybe I need to turn my gen7 HP DL380 into a minecraft server?  144gb of ddr3 and 2x 5690x (6c/12t each)...

Just a heads up minecraft java servers are single threaded and really dependent on clock speeds the best cpu for an mc server today is the 9900k or 9900ks depended on clocks.
