Your Portable Minecraft Server

This is a project that allows you to easily install and configure a minecraft server on your Raspberry Pi or other similar device.

Advantages

• Easy and very fast installation
• Does not require any knowledge
• Portable (you can bring your Raspberry Pi wherever you want)
• It is cheap (No need to pay for anything other than electricity if you already have a Raspberry Pi)
• Runs on Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 (4G and 8GB model)
• You'll look cool in front of your friends if you run a server on the board (if they don't know what Raspberry Pi is)
• Does not load your computer
• You can control and configure everything (as long as your board has enough power)

Configuring

You can configure nearly everything by setting up the following Enviroment Variables:

Variable	Description	Value
RAM	How much RAM do you want to allocate to the server?	1G (default)
MC_VERSION	What version of Minecraft do you want to install?	1.20 (default)
SSH_PASSWORD	SSH password	admin (default)

NOTE: You can set Environment Variable within balenaCloud. On the left, simply click on “Device Variables” and then click the “Add Variable” button. Give it a name, and set the value.

Connecting to the server using SFTP

I recommend using FileZilla to connect to the server via SFTP.
