Hi y'all, I'm currently wanting to have my own Minecraft server running off of a Raspberry Pi but I'm not sure what board, components or cases I might need. Does anyone have any recommendations for what I might need?

k9t33n

depends on your budget and what power you need

nomebreak

My budget is around £90-110 max and the server is just going to be for around 4-10 players

k9t33n

oh great

k9t33n

ok so I'm thinking the pi 5 is great because it has the most power, but you'd have to wait a couple months now because it's only on pre order

nomebreak

What about case and power supply? Would I need them?

k9t33n

I've got a great case and power supply combo but let's figure out the board first

nomebreak

Alright

k9t33n

ok one second let me find the price of something

nomebreak

Sure thing

k9t33n

the pi 4 8gb is about £75

k9t33n

you from the UK?

nomebreak

Yes

k9t33n

ok perfect me too

k9t33n

is £75 good for you?

nomebreak

What about 4gb?

nomebreak

Or is 8gb the minimum

k9t33n

you can go down to 1gb, just 8gb will be a lot less laggy

nomebreak

I might just go with the 4gb option then

k9t33n

yeah that's fine

k9t33n

ok now let me find you the case and power supply combo I was telling you about

nomebreak

Alr

nomebreak

Looks good

nomebreak

But it says it doesn't ship to uk

nomebreak

Is there another store I can get it from

k9t33n

oh I did not see that

nomebreak

Alright

k9t33n

there is no A version

nomebreak

Oh right

nomebreak

I assumed it would be like the raspberry pi 3

k9t33n

no

nomebreak

Alright

nomebreak

I was thinking of using this

k9t33n

yes that's fine

nomebreak

How about the SD card?

nomebreak

How much space will I need

k9t33n

that is tiny, it's pretty much incased in the case

nomebreak

?
