Need minecraft server

[TubsAlwaysWins]

Whats a good minecraft server?

Looking for a not to crowded survival server for me and a friend or two.

Host one yourself? I don't think finding such a server is possible nowadays. Trolls everywhere...

I used to have one but its gone.

I probably need to get working on hosting one. Just gotta figure out my fucking ports

Minecraft servers use ALOT of ram. Concider atleast 32gb and a quad core processor would be good. The fx 8370 and 32 gb of ram and a board is a good bet.

I have a OC'd 6600K and 16GB of ram

It's hard to run an MC server while playing on it on the same computer. If you're doing vanilla, it won't use too much CPU, but you'll need to give the server at least 4GB of RAM if you only have two people on it. Mods? Double, triple, or quadruple everything depending on how many mods you're using.

 

You really don't need much. This is the configuration I found was most consistent for keeping the server running smoothly.

Oh ffs, knock it off with the trolling. You can run a Minecraft server on a Raspberry Pi 3 for 2 people with only minor issues, and none on anything with a somewhat fast dual core, 2GB of RAM, and any 7200RPM (or better) HDD/SSD. Not only that, but the server is single threaded for all world events; you'd want Intel for that one.

 

That said, I'll tip you off: I was a Bukkit moderator for two years; I saw it being run on all sorts of hardware, including stuff dating back to XP-only support. You don't need a beastly rig.

 

OP: Disregard what jooroth said, he is very wrong. You could use Hamachi instead of fiddling around with ports, if that's any easier for you. Alternatively, you could get a server from any VPS host (DigitalOcean, Ramnode, Vultr, etc.) for a relatively cheap price.

Please just stop talking.

1. Minecraft uses one core.
2. Minecraft (client) uses less than 1GB of RAM.
3. Minecraft (server) uses less than 1GB of RAM/10 players for my server (50 player average). I've even managed 60 players on 3GBs of RAM, i7-4790k with no lag.

Faster cores/higher CPU scores are better for running Minecraft.

Those providers are overpriced for running Minecraft. Just go to OVH and you'll be good. My friend was running a 40player OP Prison server on their 4GB VPS-SSD, plus they have very good and configurable DDoS protection; block UDP to prevent AMP attacks OR you could run a small website OR TeamSpeak server on it.

Yeah, you will have no problems running a server for two people on your computer. I ran one on my computer for 3-5 of my friends last year some time, and I don't recall having any performance issues whatsoever. Even when generating new terrain, there was minimal lag.

if you want to build one now, give me a budget, and a description of the server you want(gamemode players etc) and i can make you one

on the contrary, i use to be a admin for a large factions server, and our server(~300 people and 200 alts) ate up 32 gigs in around 24 hours

[SageOfSpice]

I ran a LAN server for a bit on my rig, and my rig is pretty low spec compared to what most are running here. Fx-6300/ HD7950. I was actually running quite a number of mods, and ram was never an issue even at 8Gb. Single core CPU speed though... Dynamic lighting mods server-side really affected performance heavily.

 

Hamachi is a good suggestion. Easy enough to set up, only real downside is the 4 person limit, but that wouldn't be a problem for just having another friend tag along.

Really depends on the person. I used Ramnode for my servers because they always perform well & consistently. You're correct that there are more than usable hosts for cheaper, though! (As long as you've got good routing to OVH's network, of course.)

300 people is a lot of people for a single server. OP is asking for two people.

o didnt see that, in that case 2 gigs or less is good

RamNode is great for VPS servers and such, but their DDoS protection even optimized for Minecraft (UDP blocked, etc.) isn't that great. It tends to go down around ~92k PPS. OVH's network can be complete crap and it can be great. Same for their DDoS protection. 

 

However, if you're having an issue with OVH's DDoS protection (as in it's not protecting you properly) I have the owner of ProxyPipe on Skype (Top of the line DDoS protection for Minecraft/TeamSpeak communities) who can protect your server with a proxy tunnel (it's costly tho).

What the f*** are you hosting? Also the FX8370 would be a useless processor as the IPC is terrible and a lot of the mods you'd run are single threaded mostly. 

 

If you're basically running a vanilla install of Minecraft for Survival with a whitelist and 5-10 people, 1-1.5 GB of ram is plenty and a modern i3 would be perfectly fine. 

 

I used to run a creative server with Voxel and WE and we would run 8GB RAM on a quadcore Xeon E3-1270 with 4x Sata 3 120GB SSDs in Raid 5 - hosted approx 50 concurrent users with 5 concurrent WE & Voxel teams.

It's just one port. If you want to experiment and see if you and your friend want to jump on my survival server let me know. It's just my kid, me, and another friend on it. We could host another 2-3 people. It's not like we're on it 24/7.

I have a minecraft server I could let you use, it's running spigot/bukkit 1.11.2 so tell me what plugins you want and I can add them for you. PM me for more details.

WTF dude !? It doesn't eat that much RAM... 6GB is way enough for a private server

 

A FX processor in a server ? Well, if you want to pay twice the price of the PC in electricity bills, that's how you do.
