*** COMMON QUESTIONS! ***

"How do I update my server to a new version?"



"Can I install mods?" / "How do I install mods?"

Hey that's us! Glad you're enjoying the software so far! 😊

For those who are using Debian 12.5 and up, for the terminal commands, I found that if I used sudo, the command wouldn't be 'found' but if I typed in the command as is without sudo, then it would work just fine.

Me who doesn't plan to make a Minecraft server:
Hmmm yes interesting.

[Sarthak]

You could use chunky to pre generate chunks to reduce lag spikes at playtime

I don’t plan on making minecraft servers but I can’t stop watching these videos because it’s so fascinating to see these little machines work. Something about them is so captivating to me.

Nice guide, thanks! Really liked the explanation of even obvious things! I personally would be interested in some video with explanation of all tricky staff related port forwarding and securing your private network when you doing the forwarding.

I have not seen such great quality tutorial in a long time

My friend and I actually did this same thing with an HP ProDesk 600 G3 Mini about 2 weeks ago. We set it up to run Plex and a Minecraft Bedrock Server. The server has 16GB Ram, 1TB NVMe, and we upgraded the CPU to a i7-7700T. The CPU upgrade really helped. I then wrote a really nice Batch\Powershell script to run once a day that shuts down the Minecraft Server. Creates a ZIP backup of any world that is named with the current date and time it was made. It will then delete any backups older than 7 days. Then finally it restarts the Minecraft Server.

Your original Minecraft server video is what got me into home labs, so thank you very much.

[LGIIAS]

Great video, love that you touched on hardware, setting up the OS and CasaOS, all the way down to connecting and sharing with friends! Awesome and comprehensive <3

just spent 5hrs making a vanilla server in ubuntu with just a terminal and permanently running in issues. youre a heaven sent angel

My sons (9yo&5yo) will think I’m some networking/Minecraft server genius now! Thank you!

Quick note. For Debian 12, the initial GUI walked me through installing GRUB. I left the default values and it's working. Also, Debian 12 didn't come with the sudo command so I had to install it to get the command to run from a copy/paste.

Overall great video, easy to follow!

[SeppyButReal]

Woah, this is gonna make my life so much easier! I've been doing things all through the terminal having to use screen sessions and stuff and it's such a pain. Thank you for showing this off!

[dovahkiin]

If youre actually making a public server, please set up a VLAN or a VxLAN and get an IP to the server through that and make sure its segmented differently than your home network.

Fantastic video!! One more BIOS change people should look for is anything that halts the startup if keyboard or VGA is missing. For a laptop, might even check BIOS for sleep options and disable sleeping when the laptop is closed.

[LVNARESENCE]

Mate your videos are amazing keep it up i followed your video "Building A Minecraft Server With 12 Year Old PC" on a Samsung laptop from 2009 and omg it just worked amazingly!

[SprinklesToastGD]

Lets go, thank you ive been waiting for a new updated video like this. For about 3 years/ the last time you made one of these. All goes to you

[TheFinnish]

honestly dude this video came out at the PERFECT time, Ive been looking to host a mc server with my community sometimes for gamenights and this is exactly what i need!
