Can a Raspberry Pi run a Minecraft server?

mattdmg

I have been looking into getting a home server just to try some things. I wanted to do things like running a Minecraft server off of it, doing one of those Raspberry Pi ad blocker servers, or using it for Plex. Is using a Raspberry Pi 4 for Plex or a MC server feasible? Or am I over gauging the capabilities of a Raspberry Pi 4? If so, what are my other options?

You can, but Id probably get something faster if you want a home server, esp if you want to do multiple things at once off it.

 

Id probably get a used desktop, but depends on the budget.

Can it run it? Yes. Will it be usable? No. 

 

I'd advise buying some used hardware if you want to get started with a home server. Used Dell desktops are often readily available and can be a good place to start.
