EASY Budget Minecraft Servers With Crafty

[@HardwareHaven]

*** COMMON QUESTIONS! *** "How do I update my server to a new version?" Check out this video over on Crafty Controller's KZbin channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2elp6erbZp0pq8si=3xGiGqpVFnwzIglP "Can I install mods?" / "How do I install mods?" I don't really care about modded Minecraft all that much, so I don't have a ton of experience here.

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.

this might have happened if you unselected "standard system utilities" during the debian installation. You can install sudo after the installation by typing apt install sudo

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

[@jocerv43]

Fair warning if you pregen too much, storage racks up decently fast

[@ivanmalinovski7807]

@@jocerv43 It's gonna rack up anyway, so you might as well do it in advance.

[@jocerv43]

@ivanmalinovski7807 really depends on your playerbase, two separate occasions either someone would generate all the chunks to fill in maps or players would just explore in a straight line. Most of the time it's the straight line and that just doesn't waste as much storage. I'd compromise at like 5k-10k prerendered and call it done.

[@nombrebacan6289]

How can I install Chunky?, I tried making a forge server and importing the .jar of the chunky mod, but then the server wasn't able to find the executable when trying to turn it on

@nombrebacan6289 if you only need a vanilla world might be easier to use bukkit/paper jar and use the plugin version of chunky to pregen your world

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.

[@supertankeozuwu9354]

how

[@xtreepvps]

I think by port forwarding

[@-jaefae-]

could you explain how to do this in steps or perhaps point towards a guide? would like to setup a server using this tutorial for a discord community but not have them directly on my home network...upon segmenting and creating a VLAN - would that IP be what I enter into thr crafty controller?

[@coolsnake1134]

VLAN's would be usually set up through your router settings meaning you would need something better than most ISP routers such as a custom-built router running PFsence and either you would have to deal with a dynamic DNS service provider or you would want to sign up for the business grade internet plan from whatever ISP is in your area so you could get a static IP, most residential internet plans have a dynamic IP assigned by DHCP meaning the IP address can change whereas business grade accounts and plans have the option to get static IPs which never change

[@liziethor]

YESSSS this!!!!

[@AmyGrrl78]

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.

[@juniuwu]

Have you looked at FastBack(up)? It's a git-backed incremental backup mod for servers. Haven't tried it myself yet, but it would seem that it could enable more frequent backups for less space.

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

[@PosaoPosao-p6u]

CasaOS works perfectly, been using it since last year as my NAS, thing is super stable and has lots of features to it that just work as intended. I recommend it over TrueNAS but TrueNAS is more in depth and has more security features. EDIT: So far to my knowledge, CasaOS is a Debian docker image, and does not support software raid, meaning you will have to set a hardware raid on your server in order to have any redundancy, and then you use those logical volumes for CasaOS storage which is perfectly fine and works as intended. You can also set a raid volume on your Debian machine on which you intend on running CasaOS container but it is much less work to just set it as a hardware raid if you have the ability to do so.

earlier today i was thinking about starting another mc server for my friends on discord and this just magically pops up in my recommended. this is a life saver so i dont have to port forward. love ya!

[@krisclem8290]

I use playit with my pterodactyl server. I have loved the service so far, but some thing to consider is that it seems to be solely operated by one person so support for it can be spotty (through forums or discord). There was an issue a while back where their internal databases crashed when the person to fix it was out of town and had no access remotely, so if I'm not mistaken it took a day or two to fix. There's also the issue that as the service grows it might become a target for ddos attacks. Which with one person, it might be harder to anticipate and implement counter measures or mitigations for. I think I'll stick with playit, but if any of the issues mentioned is a big problem for you, ngrok is an alternative. Set up is a little more advanced than playit, but I imagine they are better staffed so support for issues will be quickly addressed.

Hello, huge fan of your content! Just a quick tip, if people dont want to set static ip to the casaos, and don't want to meddle with the router settings to find the right ip, they can use advanced ip scanner, (portable or not doesnt matter), they can search the ip of the devices and most of the time it will write in the description what that ip is for. Its very easy to use and saves a lot of trouble!

Just thought I’d bring this up, but hypixel currently has free smp servers (up to 10 ppl I think) if you have a rank vip+ and above. It’s like 15 bucks and I’ve been using it for a couple weeks now. No need to worry about power costs with it. Also you don’t need a rank to join the smp that someone created. It lowers their costs by shutting off the internal server when no one is on this. So it has to start back up once the first player joins after it’s been off for a bit. Still incredible since anyone can access it at any time.

[@ShadowDior]

On the subject of game servers, I'd love to see you talk about making an at home game server for game devs! I know there's cloud services like AWS or Linode but having your own personal server that you have complete control over seems like the best option. I've been trying to put together one but always end up getting stuck at making the server available to outside networks. Also helps for just small testing so I don't eat up my free trial of AWS too.

[@doopiewop3834]

Pterodactyl is great and works (theoretically) with any game. As for making it available to the internet, depending on what you want to expose, youll have more or less luck. ive personally spent a few days reverse proxying my entire pterodactyl setup (panel, wings and game servers), for which there exists really no documentation. even now i still have to deal with individual issues from game servers, like source engine games showing my public ip as the server host instead of the proxy ip.

[@ShadowDior]

@@doopiewop3834 I'll take a look into that, thanks!

[@Anthonyg5005]

I personally use ngrok for reverse proxy. It's as simple as 'ngrok tcp 25565' for a public java server and for a web page it's http instead of tcp. When sharing web pages you can even lock it with Google auth by requiring the user to use the same google account in the allowed email list

This came at a good time. I've hosted Minecraft servers before just with the basic way of doing it on Windows which is not hard. And recently, I added an Ubuntu virtual machine to my NAS and went through the process of running a Minecraft server in Ubuntu. Well it was going great but then I tried to VNC into my VM a few days later and the whole thing crashed, deleting the server entirely. And I have no idea what I'm doing in Ubuntu so I don't even know if it's recoverable. So yeah I think I'm going to keep my Ubuntu install but use CasaOS and Crafty, since that seems much easier and more my speed. Even following a tutorial, setting up a server via Ubuntu in the terminal was a nightmare.

Use paper or similar only AND ONLY if you're a casual player that doesn't make farm or redstone contraptions. Paper breaks vanilla mechanics even with the least amount of settings. Just use a normal fabric performance server modpack to achieve better performance and 100% vanilla mechanics coverage so your contraptions and farms will always 100% work as intended.

I come from AMP which is often called the easiest game panel but this one is for sure easier and straight forward! Nice video.

[@kswalker75]

I have to say Crafty is one of the easiest to setup and use. I have it running on my UNRAID server thru Docker. Great video!!

[@yoyofargo]

I lucked out and found a 5825u mini pc for $200. Plenty fast to run minecraft. Thank you for this tutorial. I had no idea so many of these solutions existed! Makes deploying the thing a whole lot easier.

[@stayfunsteven2207]

12:03, you could have also just pressed enter and that will do the default (which is y, which is shown be the capital letter Y where it said [Y/n]) EDIT: 13:37 you can also just set a static IP, which would be the same for everyone then.

[@HardwareHaven]

Ups have to realize that this video is for people that might’ve never heard of a static or dynamic IP. If I explain setting a static IP, I need to also show how to see what the current DHCP range is to prevent conflicts. Sometimes I do things a certain way to make a tutorial simple and concise

[@stayfunsteven2207]

@@HardwareHaven I didn’t really think any further about it, good point then.

[@TomTKK]

@@HardwareHaven DDNS is pretty simple to install once you create one via noIP website

[@HardwareHaven]

@@TomTKK If I explain each and every way that one could configure a sever, the video would be hours long. It's always a trade off and you have to decide what to keep and what to cut.

Neat, I've been planning to host my own server all this time with my hardware and finally found this

[@mikeyisnotfamous]

Before i start doing any of this, should i wipe my already existing hard drive with data such as windows on it, or is it ok to still have data on it.

[@DA_COOLEST_DUDE]

it'll wipe it for you when your setting up the OS

[@phoneyry]

Pulled out an old dell xps after seeing this video. Halfway to setting up a mincraft server for my son and his friends!

[@lad6602]

All these GUI tools are interesting, and I do respect the work put into them by the developers. But on the other hand, isn't it a lot simpler to learn how to navigate your way around the filesystem using a terminal, making the entire process a lot shorter and, in a way, more convenient? Especially for a project that is DIY and self-hosting oriented, it's important to learn a little bit about what you're doing to not expose your computer and network to danger.

[@assetaden6662]

This video is done to complete beginners who aren't even good at their main operating system. So throwing them into the pit of "do sudo -rm -rf ./" is not a good thing. Also, learning unix just for starting game servers is kinda meh (I did that back in 2012).

[@DoorSawer]

Wow, I don't know for how long those services were available but it's so cool to see how Minecraft server management has progressed. At my time I used only putty and filezilla to manage all resources and config files but the main problem of course was to properly set up all plugins... Damn that was a torture taking into account that English is not my native language but that was a good "kick" to learn both - Linux administration and the language :)

[@brnsl420]

Thank you so much for making an easier tutorial than your other one with the Compaq PC 🤝

[@haganlife]

Really great presentation. You should create a 'sleepy' playlist. Your voice is so ASMR. I need MAWR!

[@Maks195]

Thank you so much for this guide! I've been searching a long time for a solution for a decent server that I don't need to pay (monthly) for. I also didn't want to bother with the linux coding etc. so this really saved me!! Thanks!

[@christopherwood12]

Takes me back to when I made a server as a kid, we all bought mc for like £9 and played for weeks over the summer together with mods on

[@wamuuwasawaken]

literally just finished to make the setup from your older video... this one looks a lot better. Btw can i do it on ubuntu?

[@tiwopli]

I also created a Minecraft server according to your tutorial, and it was worth it for me, especially with electricity prices of 60 cents! 🙌🏻 PC: MS-01 CPU: i9-13900H (Max: 5.4GHz) RAM: 48GB DDR5 5200MHz SSD: Seagate Firecuda 530 1TB (7000MB/s) Idle: 6W Normal Use: 25W Max load: 50W - 68W

[@tigeroats913]

Man im so happy with how your channel has grown great work

[@mateiene4764]

Do virtual machines work sa well, or does it necessarily have to be an individual computer? Thanks!

[@carlsbl]

Great video! Used information to deploy to a Mac mini (Late 2014) and an older HP desktop Pavilion. Worked perfectly Thank you!

[@PCPlays15]

at 12:08 it shows me cant insert blockdev media change and i cant install or do anything

[@3rn1z]

Nice video, will need to try it out some time, as I've always been launching minecraft servers on linux by just playing around with files and console. Also you can assign the static IP address to the server, it will skip the process of searching for your router setting of reserving the IP address, the only required thing would be to take out this IP from the DHCP range, which is not rly mandatory.

[@theautomaticfiend]

crafty is great, my friends asked me last summer to put up a minecraft server so i have a docker container on my vps with crafty installed.

[@acenio654]

14:04 You don't need to plug a keyboard and monitor back in so long as you just take a note of the MAC address of the network interface. You can then find it via rhe router. Allocating a specific IP for it is better though

[@AytherAlt]

I did the whole installation process twice but after removing the boot media it just says "Error 1962: No operating system found. Boot sequence will repeat"

[@Jemini500]

im having the same problem but after the black screen where your supposed to unplug the usb, it says "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"

[@pifre3051]

I love your channel. It's the cheap computers showcased in a way that I just like

[@ColinTheShark]

You don't actually need to change the boot order in the BIOS. Just hitting (in your case) F10 to get the boot menu, you select the USB and directly boot it. Changing the order is only really necessary when you have multiple drives with different OSes installed that you switch occasionally.

[@assetaden6662]

You need to turn off a safe boot anyway, so why reboot, then click on f10 again, when you can do it in bios anyway.

[@meowmeowcat99]

You don’t need that much storage if you do regular world cleanings, whether it be full world resets or frequent trimming of chunks… but as someone who has played on a server that has existed for some years that hasn’t done any world resets since it first was created and only trims off chunks every long while, that server needs at least a 512GB drive and likely 1TB at some point. Not for a while but likely at some point. Lower options are good early on though, just saying it might be worth while to get a good higher storage option when on sale for stuff like Black Friday if you decide to be more of a “build a history of a world over time” kind of server host.

[@TicketyTy]

Great video. I can't believe I watched this video when I don't need a minecraft Sever, but I ended up watching the whole thing. Great information and facts Givin Def was worth watching

[@natethegreat505]

Hand-down the BEST minecraft server guide out there! An absolute deus ex machina for my own server setup. THANK YOU!

[@clellbritt3434]

Thanks you for this video. I have watched a ton of videos on getting a MC Server and they all revolve around Java only. I know you didn't go over Bedrock, but I would assume the setup is similar after the Crafty install. You mentioned not to do one on a Pi, but that's what I have and it'll only ever be 2-3 players max at any one time. I have one up and running on it now, but it was painful to get going using Docker and Portainer. I might just scrub that and setup one on Casa like you did. From what I see there wouldn't be much different than what you did using a Pi4B 4GB. Do you know of any differences if I was using a Pi? Thanks

[@Luis-gz3oo]

Thanks for the links btw

[@therealmage]

31:26 i dont have a plugin folder or really any of those folders shown on screen whenever i look into the files tab

[@firebadnofire9768]

11:30 Some Debian installs (particularly the DVD offline installer) do not package sudo by default. To fix this, run "su -" then enter the root password (specified at install time). Then "apt install sudo" followed by "gpasswd -a YOURUSER sudo"

[@itzzBacho]

thank u for making me learn how to make a mc server this video really helped!
