If you get a response from the version command line that means you now have Java
Hard-Float installed on your Raspberry Pi.
Installing the Minecraft server
Minecraft servers are actively developed by various crowds, and there are many
configurations to choose from.
Spigot
is a high performance Minecraft server
implementation, and we can install it with the following command:
cd /home/pi
sudo wget http://ci.md-5.net/job/Spigot/lastStableBuild /artifact/Spigot-
Server/target/spigot.jar
#This is the command line use on Model B with 512 ram
sudo /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/java -Xms256M -Xmx496M -jar
/home/pi/spigot.jar nogui
It takes about 15 minutes to start up for the first time. Once it is ready, you can log on
locally and explore your new world. You should exit shortly and configure the server
for performance.
Configuring Minecraft
To allow players from the Internet to connect, you will need to open and forward
port
25565
to the Pi from your router.
These are the settings that seem to be best for running on the Pi. You can adjust them
as you go along.
