Hey guys I host a private MC Server the most people we ever have on is 4 and thats verrry rare we normally have 1 person or 2 people on scatterd throuout the day. It says its only using 64mb of ram. Could a rasspberry pi handle it? I would switch to spigot. Make a world size limit. OC the pi to 1ghz use 400mb of the ram. Could you leave a pi on all day?

I would have no clue sorry. Your best bet would be to check minecraft forums and raspberry pi forums.

It is possible, but there are limitations in place. For a low cost server it is probably your best bet. There are other boards for a higher price that perform a lot better. There is less support for those than the Pi. If you do find a Pi alternative that someone was done this on it might be worth the extra money.

On a Raspberry Pi (Any Version) use Cuberite (cuberite.org/) you can either use a pre-compiled (slower, but quicker deployment of the game server) version or compile it yourself. (faster, but takes time)
If you need help, go to the manual for the software at the Website
(As a Bonus, a tiny web admin is added in)
