Minecraft server

[P4Clock]

I have a few family member that pay that horibal game minecraft. Thay all pay to use a server so they can play togeather so i thought about setting up a little system just to run it for them.

Would an i3 be upto a 10max person minecraft server. I know server like threads not power so i thought an i3 for this would be fine??

i3 should be fine though its awhile since I ran a server for it - it does (or did) eat quite a bit of RAM though on the server side.

Again unless its change - you also need a fair bit of upload speed if people are connecting from the internet to it as otherwise performance suffers when a new person joins and syncs with the latest data.

When i test me fiber speed it say i get 19mg upload.
On the ram side i have 8gb in a spears box and can pick up a new kit for £45 now days so should also be on for that

My mate has an a10 5800k mini-itx box which he ran two Minecraft servers off including the Hexus one. A Core i3 should be fine.

Now you can charge them for using your server

If it keeps the kids quite for an hour on an evening then it pays for itself

just been reading up on the server thing and when what i can see, the system requirements for a 60 person server are core 2 duo and 1.5gb of ram.....
i am not thinking a Pentium and 8gb of ram would be ok?

I built one based around an i3 for my nephew last year. It runs just fine.
