Minecraft Server Raspberry Pi

[iCas]

So I used to run a minecraft server for 5 friends off an old Powermac G4 400mhz 1GB RAM, since Minecraft 1.5.2, they dropped support for the PPC architecture . Can I expect the same performance on a PI? ( 2 plugins, render distance 5) (I've seen dudes running minecraft servers on it, but with 2 people) And also is it safe to run a bukkit server on a PI 12/7/365?

Sorry for my silly qeustions, coulden't find them anywhere else really, I really apriciate the help!

I don't think the Pi is near powerful enough.

K, thanks for the quick and honnest answer

Hell no, the Pi is nowhere near powerful enough.

In friendlier terms, no. The Raspberry Pi isn't really designed to have more than two tabs open on the internet, let alone have CPU usage at over 80% for 12 hours a day. (Since operating a server will take up at least that number)

Will an Intel NUC be good enough?

Don't expect the same performance, but you could look at this guide:

Of course it's possible, though I am not sure about Bukkit.

even though the server wont be able to handel 5 people it would be a fun project to se how far you could push it

Random question, are you looking to put together a dedicated server build? If so, you can find some help in this section of the forums.

For vanilla Minecraft, yes. But, there are more cost-effective solutions.

If you have an older computer laying around, you can use it's case. If you have a hard drive you're not using, you can use it in this. Etc... You could consider an AMD quad core, but Minecraft servers are based on Single-Core performance, something Intel has always done better.

what are the specs of the pc you play mine craft on

Yea, I'm looking for an as cheap as possible sullotion, if building it myself is cheaper, why not Thanks for the tip!

I play Minecraft on a Macbook Air 1,4ghz mostly, though a have a better PC for "real" Gaming

Thanks A lot for the build man! $260 is perfectly in my budget
