Arduino Minecraft Server

I find it a bit sad when posters here discourage people from exploring their ideas,

That's amazing!
A Minecraft server in only 270 lines of Arduino sketch!

(dammit, where are the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags?)

Can you clarify your snark a bit, I don't quite get it. Are you saying people should be discouraged from exploring crazy sounding ideas?

No, I'm not discouraging people.
It's just that that video most definitely does NOT demonstrate an Arduino Minecraft server.

Seems to be serving a small static minecraft world. Maybe Soranne can fill us in on what it's doing and post a bit of code.

But thanks for lampooning my mild lament on some of the negativity on the forums. It's still friendlier to beginners here than other forums.

Simple, use a SD card to store the memory, or use a ATtiny45 (About a buck) to process and reroute other singles and scripts when arduino can't take much more
8) Easy peasy

Yes, i could be possible! The arduino may not have enough space alone, but you can ad more memory by adding a shield! Also connect a ethernet shield, and wala! Just find a way to activate the sever files and find out the ip to the arduino! It should work if all goes well.

Just wondering if anyone has made a minecraft webserver game without having to use a Minecraft client? have everything in the Ethernet webserver and can be stored in Sd card or something??

You could be the first. Here is the code for a SD based web server pumped up for use on the internet.

Here is the code running on a Mega 2560/Ethernet shield with a few test files on it.

It will use almost all of an Uno's memory just for the server part, so you can forget using an Uno.

It leaves about 6K of SRAM available on a Mega. Can you do all the processing for the Minecraft server with that? How good are you?

Maybe a Due would handle it? I don't know.

Enjoy! :slight_smile:

I ran across another embedded minecraft server project,

Does it operate in principal the same as yours?

I'd like to experiment with this on an even smaller device, but one that has plenty of flash via an sd card. Is there a lot of network traffic to/from the server? Or is it limited to mostly status updates?

umm hi guys, even though im really new to arduino, i still found a lot of interesting results about arduino running/communicating with minecraft, these ones for example:

so yeah, i don't really think an arduino chip would run a minecraft server, it doesn't make much sense... but, you CAN do other neat things with arduino and minecraft, like controlling things in the game using real buttons...
p.s. i even found this:

thanks, ariel.
