Raspberry pi minecraft servers?

youmoo222

Raspberry pi's have always interested me and i love playing minecraft with my friends i have run a few small servers in the past with my pc but they are not very good and run slow. Then i found out you could make a minecraft server on a raspberry pi and raspberry pi's can be run in a cluster makeing them work together. I woild love to work on creating a minecraft server running on a big cluster of raspberry pi's for anyone to use really and enjoy playing together. Basically raspberry pi's i think would be perfect for this job because of there size and power. Problem is getting them and all the stuff i would need to run this. If anyone is interested i would love to work to make this a real thing. Im not the smartest person on here but i feel like this would be fun for alot of people.

  • Clustering really only works for a range of jobs they need to be easily divisible and the communications requirement within what the machine provides. The RPI doesn't really meet the requirements for most cluster workloads in terms of CPU/Memory and communications and cheap as they are not practical as a cluster. So yes they work as a cluster for demo/learning purposes but not for legitimate workloads.

     

     

    Also remember that your software will need to written for this environment which  Minecraft is not.

     

    That said you can now buy 4GB RPI 4 boards so you may want to try one of these!!
