Install Minecraft server on pcDuino

Minecraft is a sandbox construction game, inspired by Infiniminer, Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon Keeper, created by Markus Persson, the founder of Mojang AB. The game involves players placing and breaking various types of blocks in a three-dimensional environment. The player takes on an avatar that can break and place blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations, and artwork, on multiplayer servers and singleplayer worlds across multiple game modes.

To install Minecraft server, first we need to install Java on pcDuino. We will follow what is doing on Chris’s post.

Download Java to the pcDuino

$wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u25-b15/jdk-7u25-linux-arm-sfp.tar.gz"

Then we need to make folder in which should we put our files:

$sudo mkdir -p -v /opt/java
$tar xvzf ~/(Name of your Java package file).gz

Then we unzip Java files using the following command:

Then we move Java files into /opt/java:

sudo mv -v ~/jdk1.7.0_06 /opt/java
$sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/opt/java/jdk1.7.0_06/bin/java" 1
$sudo update-alternatives --set java /opt/java/jdk1.7.0_06/bin/java
$java -version

Then we need to tell that new JVM has been installed on pcDuino:Then, this command should work and give this result:

Install the Minecraft Server:Make a Folder for the Server:

$mkdir MCServer
$cd MCServer

Move into the folder:

Download the Server

$wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft_server.jar

Start it up!

$java -jar minecraft_server.jar
