Does anyone know if it is possible to run a Minecraft Server on the beaglebone? and how?
I mean the server needs a lot of RAM, is there anyway to compile java for arm so that is quicker on anything like that?
Because i know that some people have managed to run one on the raspberry pi…
I recently received my BBB and successfully installed Ubuntu, Oracle jre 7 and bukkit as the minecraft server. (currently without plugins)
From a single client, performance seems very playable and i think it could handle 2-3 more users easily. As noted on many other forums, world generation is a resource hog (lag) and in general runs at about 95% cpu.
I’ll be testing this more at home with 3-4 people actively playing.
