looks rather fishy...

few sidenotes:

- for servers SSH (combined with screen) is really the way to go

- VNC allows you to remote desktop into your pi (requires a bit of setup, but works rather well)

- minecraft on a raspberry pi is pretty much the edge of its capabilities (personally tested this on a PI 2) and you most likely wont have a good experience.
