Raspberry Pi

I don't think it has that amount of power. I wouldn't do it.

If you have too much RAM, does it not make the server slower? Java would just use the RAM then dump it. So, it wouldn't need much.

With only 512MB of ram, no not even close. You can host a few people but not a lot.

if you want to buy a raspberry pi to play with your friends than go for it! definitely not something you should post on PMC because your server is likely to lag with more than a few people on it. ... And definitely go easy on the plugins. maybe only 3 or 4 plugins if any. Probably better off hosting a server from a laptop or something.

More RAM is always better in my Experience. My server has 16GB of ram and runs super smooth 95% of the time.

I agree no point in wasting $30 for a rpi

It's also more than $30 for a pi. After you buy the power adapter, SD card, case, HDMI cable, (maybe even a computer monitor) it will end up being well over $100

Well most of those things people usually have. Now that I pretty much have everything but the power adapter.

If you look at this, it comes with a 8gb card.

I own a rassberry pi, and i would have to reccomend against it, i tried using it for a server but it just couldnt cope at all. If you do try though, you MUST get an 8 to 10 speed sd card or there is no chance of it working. I just use my rassberry pi and an ultimate pbx device for free voip calls much better use

Hey xXredeemerXx. This is off-topic, but you should buy some block erupotrs and use them raspberry pi to bitmine!

The raspberry pi will run up to 50 people on a minecraft server if you only want a small server then I'd go ahead with it. Its a great piece of kit in my opinion!

You can also link a few togehter. If you want to you could make a super computer
