Clara and I run Minecraft on our home FreeBSD server inside a jail that keeps Java and other dependencies in a single location. Although I haven’t tested it, the theory is that it is possible to run the server anywhere Java is supported, including Linux, NetBSD and possibly other operating systems.
I couldn't let it go! The good news is that yes, you can run an Minecraft server on my other favourite OS as well. This post explains how I did it but I'm certain there are other methods.
Getting Java installed
After you have installed NetBSD and set up networking and enabled pkgin you will require an OpenJDK in order to run Minecraft.
OpenJDK 17 is required for Minecraft 1.17 and later. OpenJDK 16 however, is the most recent version as of July 20,22. You can check by searching to see if this is still the situation:
If it's 16 you can still pull current packages by opening the repo file.
Then changing the repo URL I changed mine from 9.0 to 9.0_current
This was a fantastic project. He has done a lot of great work for the NetBSD community, I feel like I owe him at least a coffee or a beer the next time I'm able travel to Japan.
We are now able to install, along with other useful tools.
Running Minecraft
This location is a good one to run Minecraft just like any Java-enabled server. https://minecraftservers.life/ I put all my files in one place:
Log as my local user and then start:
Now we can start!
You'll notice Java will throw a system not supported exception that we on NetBSD know well. It is safe to ignore according to my tests.
Once you've started the server for the first time, remember to sign the EULA.
Create an introduction script
I like to create a symlink to minecraft.jar the most recent version of the server
Then, you can reference it in launch.sh using tmux to keep the server even after disconnecting. I also like to give Minecraft more memory:
Now we're good to go!
Follow-up
My next step would be creating an appropriate chroot environment to work with Java and Minecraft, similar to what I have done with FreeBSD jails. I have a NetBSD chroot exploration article that I have been working on for many years. I'll clean it up and post it soon.
