How far can I get with these specs?
I'm planning on hosting a Minecraft server for friends & family, and want to completely avoid monthly subscription fees.
I saw a thread on reddit that criticizes my "old thinkpad server" approach, but I haven't ran into any glaring bottlenecks in my, albeit limited, testing. Let me know if I'm missing anything obvious, this is my first attempt at running a MC server locally.
With these specs I was able to get ~15CPS with Chunky and ~500ms per tile generation on Dynmap. (on Windows)
I'm open to any suggestions for optimization, the purpose of the server is to be a cross-compatible Vanilla world for family, realistic usage would be 3-5 users and peak at 10 users.

that cpu ouch
dynmap is also just bad nowadays tbh
CPU seems to hold up okay imo. I had three players on while running Chunky and none of them reported lag.
replacement suggestion or just avoid using a web map?
pl3xmap
basically same quality as dynmap but alot more lightweight
cool thanks
if anybody knows a better server jar for cross-compatibility lmk. I want Java, Bedrock (Console and PC) to be able to play without too many issues
I'd be shocked if you'd be able to run more than 5 or so players with late game mob farms with that hardware.
Cross play isn’t supposed to exist.
Geyser is the best you're going to get, (which is already very well made)
Java players won’t have any issues, there will only be a view inconveniences bedrock players have
Hardware wise, yes it’s realistically just the cpu limiting u
5 or so players is pretty much what i expect, and if i can save hundreds of dollars on building a dedicated server, i will
If ur having 5 players and running little plugins, oracle cloud vm is ur perfect fit
It’s free

yeah but i used to have an oracle account and they just deleted my entire account so not a fan
Well they don’t do that unless ur doing something u shouldn’t be
Never heard that issue before
never even used it really. i just remember it being a pain in the ass to register, and now the credentials saved in my password manager don't work :LC_blob_shrug:
Just follow the guide step by step
It’s free, and u get 24gb of memory
CPU mite even be better than urs
And 100x more reliable
And… (free)
password reset didn't turn up anything in my email(s), i have a feeling if they'll delete my account for no reason they won't mind doing it again. multiple accounts is probably against their tos too
As I said They won’t delete ur account for no reason. .if u use the same email ur totally fine
And u made it seem like u did nothing on ur prev account, there’s a chance u could’ve use a dif email, or maybe it wasn’t actually an oracle account, or it got deleted cause of inactivity. Not because they randomly decide to delete accounts
Oracle is super credible company…they are literally the guys that own Java rn
i was able to recover my account by clicking "Sign into Oracle Cloud" on an email from 2021.. lol
ayyyy
i'm getting a $2.00/mo cost when following the oracle.com guide
womp womp..
Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain AD-2. Create the instance in a different availability domain or try again later. If you specified a fault domain, try creating the instance without specifying a fault domain, otherwise try creating the instance in a different availability domain. If that doesn’t work, please try again later. Learn more about host capacity.try the other 2 availability domains
i did, all out of capacity:/ im running this https://github.com/hitrov/oci-arm-host-capacity as a cron job so hopefully i can get one in the near future

im still not convinced the free tier arm is faster than my cpu but we'll see
do mind its against tos
so u might get banned
where did you see its against the tos? it uses their own api so i dont see why it would be against the tos
ah might not be
free is free 🙂
It is
It is faster lol
I rocked your same CPU but it was an i3
I tried to make a modded 1.16.5 server which was unplayable in that device but on OCI it ran alright
3rd gen is from 2012
