PiCraft is a Minecraft Server run on a Raspberry Pi. It serves no purpose other than to demonstate what the Pi is capable of.
Why are you doing this?
Because why not? I have a raspberry Pi, I have to do something with it!
How does it work?
The normal Minecraft server is written in java. Java can be a memory hog, which isn't good on a low ram system such as the Raspberry Pi. So I use a version of MCServer, an open source Minecraft server, which I compiled on my Pi.
Since I'm not using the official Minecraft server, there may be some features missing.
How many players can it handle?
I don't honestly know! I'm going to start the server off with 10 slots - this might be increased or decreased as time goes on.
Join the server! The IP is picraft.dyndns.org
Assuming my Pi doesn't crash it's running 24/7!
