Turn Your Old PC Into a Minecraft Server for FREE with MineOS!

Over the past two years, Minecraft has had a comeback ever since interest started to decline around 2013/2014. We can attribute part of the resurgence to the widely popular DreamSMP, but it’s more likely that because of the COVID pandemic, Minecraft was a fun and relaxing way for friends to play together during isolation. And even though if you play on PC, you could buy a Minecraft realm from Mojang themselves for $7.99, if you have an old PC lying around chances are it would make an awesome little server for you and your friends to host a simple Minecraft world!

MAN! you make such a great quality content!! Keep it up!!

[thatguycomrade]

absolutely high quality video! thank you so much!

[taimmazen]

You helped me twice lol
Such a great tutorial thanks

[imamethyx]

Thank you, I know is an old video but still was helpful, I was using Pterodactyl Panel and it was a huge pain because if the server for any reason reached its maximum allocated ram (when usually didn't but the panel lied), the server shut down automatically. This panel seems to not do that so far, I am happy with it.

Im running my minecraft on windows server (4x2.2Ghz 4GB) do you think changing to ubuntu server will do a performance difference?

[wildside]

Would really love an updated or some help with this, the Mineos Page has since changed significantly making following this tutorial difficult if not impossible

Does MineOS update the Minecraft version by itself? I am going to set this up in my school (because I am one of the IT helpers) and I won’t have much access to it most of the time, so does it update by itself?

Quick question, on Ubuntu Server 20.04.3, running the install_mineos-node script gives a warning with nodejs saying that the version it will install is depreciated. So I was wondering how we upgrade that without messing with the installation? Do I just run `apt install nodejs` afterwards?

[ryanboom]

unable to acsess the mine os website, I've checked the port and its https but still no luck :(
