Description: Clara and I run Minecraft on our home FreeBSD server in a jail that keeps Java and other dependencies in a separate location. While I haven't tried it, the theory is that you can run the server anywhere Java is supported, including Linux or NetBSD. I decided to keep it up! The good news is, you can indeed run an Minecraft server on the OS I love as well. This is how I did it. I'm sure there are other ways. Getting Java installed After you've installed NetBSD and configured networking and enabled pkgin, you'll need to get an OpenJDK that can run Minecraft. Minecraft 1.17 and up requires OpenJDK 17, but OpenJDK 16 is the most recent version in the most recent snapshot as of July 2022. You can search to confirm whether this is the situation: If it's 16 you may still pull current packages by opening the repo file. Then changing the repo URL, in my case 9.0 to 9.0_current Thank you so much to the Ryoon@ for their work on this. He does so much great work for the NetBSD community, I think I owe him a coffee or a beer next time I'm able to travel to Japan. We are now able to install, along with other useful tools. Running Minecraft This location can be used to run Minecraft just like any Java-enabled server. MINECRAFT SERVERS I have all my files in one location: Then log in as my local user and then start: We're now ready to begin! Java throws an error regarding a system that isn't supported, something that NetBSD users know well. From my testing it's safe to ignore it: Don't forget to sign the EULA when you launch the server the first time: The creation of an introductory script I like to symlink the latest version of the server to minecraft.jar: You can reference it in launch.sh using tmux to allow the server to remain active after disconnecting. I also like to give Minecraft more memory: We're now ready to go! Follow-up Next, I would like to create a proper Chroot environment that can support Java and Minecraft. This is similar to the FreeBSD jails. I've had a complete NetBSD chroot exploration post in the works for years I'll clean it up and make it available soon.
