If you want to see how to setup the server, then check out my video below. Ethernet Cable or Wi-Fi (I recommend using an ethernet for the best network performance).Please find the equipment that I used for making this Raspberry Pi Minecraft server below. We will also set it up so you can access it on the web and reboot if the Pi goes offline for any reason. We will make a few changes to optimize the server for the Raspberry Pi 2, 3, or 4 if you have one. In this project, we will utilize Java that should already be installed on the Raspberry Pi (If you’re using the full version of Raspbian). The official Java version may improve over time. I found that it will crash a lot, be laggy, and is very unstable. We are also going to be using the spigot version of Minecraft as the default install didn’t work for me. I found the optimal amount of people is only two to three, but this can be improved upon by tweaking the server.
