Clara and I run Minecraft on our home FreeBSD server in a jail, which keeps Java and other dependencies in one isolated place. Theoretically , you can run the server from any device that supports Java and Java-related software, including Linux and perhaps NetBSD, though I haven't tested the latter.
Well, I decided that I couldn't leave it at that! The positive side is that you can run an Minecraft server on your other preferred OS. This post explains the method I used, though I'm sure there are other ways.
Getting Java installed
After you have installed NetBSD and set up networks and enabled pkgin. You will require an OpenJDK to run Minecraft.
Minecraft 1.17 onwards requires OpenJDK 17 however, OpenJDK 16 is the latest version of the most current snapshot as of July 2022. You can check by searching to see if this is still the case:
If you're 16 years old, you can still pull current packages by opening the repo file.
And changing the repo URL, in my case from 9.0 to 9.0_current:
Thank you so much to Ryoon@ for his work on this. He does a tremendous amount of work for the NetBSD community, and I feel I owe him some coffee or a beer next time I'm able to visit Japan.
Now we can installit, along with a few other useful tools:
Running Minecraft
You can use this directory to run Minecraft just like any Java-enabled server. I have all my files in one location:
Then log in as my local user and begin:
Now we can start!
Java throws an exception about a system not supported, something that NetBSD users know well. From my testing I've found that you can ignore it:
After you've run the server for the first time, be sure to remember to accept the EULA.
Create a launch script
I like to link to minecraft.jar the most current version of the server
You can reference it in launch.sh using tmux for the server to stay in place after disconnecting. I also prefer to give Minecraft more memory:
We're now ready 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 an NetBSD Chroot Exploration article in the process for a number of years. I'll clean it up and post it soon.
