Minecraft 2023
So all the other Minecraft threads are OLD and I couldn't think of a more creative name, so here's the Minecraft 2023 thread. I'm open to a name change.
I'm looking for some guidance on Minecraft servers.
1. I have two boys who currently mess around in Minecraft on both iPad and Switch. Which I believe is Bedrock Edition?
2. I also enjoy Minecraft, but haven't played in awhile and would do so from my Windows PC, which I belive means Java Edition?
3. I've done some research on possibly "renting" a Minecraft server from a provider, but the amount of different flavours and options is a bit overwhelming. Paper? Spigot? Fabric? Bueller... Bueller?
4. Ideally my kids would connect from iPad or Switch, and eventually maybe via a laptop. So flexibility is needed.
5. I don't want to spend a huge bucket of money, but also want the server to perform well and not be a frustration to manage.
6. Is putting it on a spare PC in my basement my best option? Does this change the simple to manage approach to something that would be more complicated?
So tell me.. Where do I go? How do I keep it simple, cheap, and have the ability to access it from multiple devices? And possibly run some fun mods for the kids?
