Minecraft server with plugins on Raspberry pi 4

[Wolly9102]

Hi,

 

Someone asked me to create an private minecraft server for her son. It should be too expensive so I figured an Raspberry pi is the way to go.

Now the question is, can an rpi install minecraft plugins? In particular kingdom craft which I found from here. (I don't have much knowledge of minecraft) I haven't found any documentation on how to do this.

Setting the rpi up for the bare minecraft server should't be an problem for me.

 

Would love to hear if this is possible.

 

Regards,

rpi really doesnt do well with java, so while it'll "work", it wont necessarily work well.

 

not to mention that once you buy a pi4 and all necessary accessories to make it operational, you're into the "second hand office pc" budget terretory, and that'll blow a pi out of the water.

Yup I know. I tried to explain that an Windows machine would be better but they wanted the cheaper option.

that's the thing.. it's not the cheaper option by the time you add on all the accessories.

A pi 4 is about 90$ for a 8gb model. Then you need a power adapter that is 5v 2.5a so about another 10$ and then a cooler for it because it's going to be running at 100% a lot so another 15$.

 

Or you get a 4th gen i5 dell with a ssd and 8gb of ram for like 60$.

 

It's literally not cheaper in every single way and far far far far far far far far worse
