Hi! I want to selfhost a minecraft server for my kid and hjs friends. I havent played minecraft in quite a few years …

Where do I start to self host one?

I am already seflhosting lost of stuff from 'Arrs to Jellyfin and Immich and more, so I am not asking on how to do it technically, but where to look for and what to host for a proper Minecraft server!

Edit: choosed to setup this https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-bedrock-server and so far, super smooth and easy peasy!

    Just FYI bedrock will only work if the kids are on tablets.

    Edit: and consoles

        That’s how Microsoft designed it. The tablet and console versions are bedrock, the PC is Java. But others here have said there are modded server versions or plugins that let bedrock players play on Java servers.

          No, PC isn’t Java only. PC is the only platform that can play Java, while literally everything else - PC included - can play Bedrock.

          Bedrock has been the norm now for longer than Java was; sorry.
