Title
How to create your own Minecraft Server
Introduction
== Background Information ==
While Minecraft's multiplayer can be a fun shared experience, sometimes you just want to have that experience with yourself and a small group of friends. Now while there are options like Minecraft Realms, these options are on a monthly subscription and can get quite expensive.
But there is a much cheaper alternative, which is to make your own dedicated Minecraft Server. The best part is that you don't necessarily need to spend a whole lot of money on hardware unless you plan on hosting hundreds of players.
=== What you will need ===
While you can run a Minecraft Server on almost any computer with , for this instance I will using an 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB of RAM and a 32GB microSD card with Ubuntu flashed to it.

Conclusion
Congratulations! You now have your own private Minecraft server.
While this tutorial should give you a good foundation for making a server, their are some other good practices that should be observed.
Firstly, it is recommended that you learn how to backup your server, as to not loose any progress that would have been made. A tutorial for that can be found [link|https://shockbyte.com/billing/knowledgebase/44/How-to-Manually-Backup-Your-Minecraft-Server.html|here]. I also recommend you learn how to configure your device to a RAID 1 configuration. This way if your main storage fails you will have a copy on a spare drive.
Otherwise, you do have a server that you and your friends can play on.
