An Intro. My son said he'd like a Minecraft server. I rented a 4GB 2CPU instance yesterday using the Ubuntu Minecraft 1.15.2 image, I put the UFW firewall up and opened both TCP and UDP to the default game and rcon ports, enabled rcon, gave it a password. I've allowed 200 players, he wants to get his school playing. I changed the systemd start command to give 3GB to the java run line and it now says
- ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -DmS mc-%i /usr/bin/java -Xmx3G -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
I do not know the slightest bit about gameplay, when I log in I just stand there, dig a hole and fall in. The boy can repeat what I did to build the server now that he's seen it done.
So, I can rcon in with linux mcrcon and /op the boy, he knows what to do with the op status. I can list and see him. He can play. All of that works.
- Will his op status continue past a reboot or do I have to do something more?
- Is the hardware going to handle 200 players? I have no idea when to scale anything.
- Where do I look for mods? He says there's mods. I'm wary about security and about who writes them but that's just ignorance. What would I like to have known once I know more. Is there a performance implication?
- Is it true that only people with java edition can use the server?
- Only people running 1.15.2?
- It makes no difference whether they're on android, linux, Mac or Microsoft Windows™?

It's just dawned on me. "Survival Servers" isn't a generic description of what I built one of, it's the forum of a hosting site called "Survival Servers".
I didn't start the thread with bad intent, I thought it was more general.
The questions, or at least some of them, are still interesting perhaps. If anyone is knows the subject I'd like to discuss them here please.
