![]() Cheap micro-USB to ethernet adapter (the quality isn’t too important as our server will be quite small and won’t use much bandwidth).This allows for multiple players to easily create their own islands and interact. And though it probably hurt the performance some amount, I decided to use a plugin for this, ASkyBlock, instead of a custom world file. It lends itself to this task very well as there are hardly any blocks or entities to render, making it quite easy to run on low-end hardware. In Skyblock the player spawns on a little island with some basic supplies and is tasked with producing more resources and expanding their island. I didn’t think the former would be very interesting so I opted to create a server focused on the game mode known as Skyblock. They certainly are tight restrictions, but with enough work the tiny Raspberry Pi Zero can do some amazing things – Including running a Minecraft server.īecause of the device limitations I had to right away decide between two paths: A, use an older and lighter version of Minecraft or B, use a game mode of Minecraft that is inherently easier to run. All I could find were nay-sayers criticizing the relatively tiny amount of RAM (512MB) and the measly 1 GHz chip on the device. Some initial research online didn’t give me much hope. Yes the specs are low, but perhaps with enough fine-tuning I could turn it into something usable, I thought. When I first heard of the Raspberry Pi Zero, the smallest single-board computer in the Pi family, one of the first things I thought to use it for was a Minecraft server.
