I'm renting hardware, so if it breaks I probably get the same hardware (and I am assuming backups will be on me). Yeah that is a valid consideration. It will cost me at least several days to find replacement hardware.

I have 50/50 speed so that's ok.

And having a single open port in my firewall won't do much. I'm trying to think of a scenario that is not secure. If the Minecraft service itself is hacked, then tailscale or Cloudflare tunnels won't help me, because they will probably gain the same access rights as the user that I created for the server. Or am I missing something?

Weird TCP packets ? I probably receive those already, server or not.

For a VPS it is expensive, but this is dedicated hardware. A Minecraft server needs a decent CPU (not many cores) and is memory hungry, so a minimum of 16GB. Needs decent ping all over the world.

Because of the last requirement I considered ovhcloud and hetzner and this one is still relatively cheap?

No, not public.

Anyone with inside info why this team does not meet expectations? From what I understand they have the budget.

Well they thoroughly fixed that in Windows 2000 with better memory management. Has happened very rarely in versions after that.

But, yes, it's also conveys very little useful information other than "I crashed, I hope you saved whatever you were doing".

(But I've had crashes in Linux too, probably because of Nvidia)

I don't fully understand. What's the design consideration? My biggest problem is actually that the least power hungry CPU (arm) has very little options if you want to run a server with a bit more processing power.

If you mean that Minecraft is not native.. this is Java , so everything runs in the JVM independent of platform.

I might need a Mac Mini as a server and install Linux on it (is that still an option?) like some kind of NUC...

Is that true? Every error in Linux is logged, configurations are readable. For me, I'm very tech savvy, clicking around in GUIs hoping to find something, spelunking in event manager trying to find an error, is so much harder than in Linux.

This is very personal, I know. How do you debug and fix issues in Windows again? :-) It has been a while.

So what did LexManos do?

Lower power is ARM, but aren't X86 CPUs not still a lot faster? (While my Raspberry Pi 4 can barely run a Minecraft server, my 50$ SFF can run 2 servers at the same time and still has plenty of CPU cycles left)

Power consumption is higher ofcourse, but I exchanged 3 Pi's (3*10W) with one SFF (25W) so it's fine :-)

I think if you want to start with spruce those are your options.

Or you could change the code ...

(Also I did the pack - I used oak, it's great! :-) It's very basic so it'll keep you busy for a while)
