Is there anyhwhere that has any kind of benchmark for different hardware when hosting minecraft servers? I’m considering migrating to my homelab from a sparkedhost instance but I dont know if it’ll be worth potentially worse performance (Ryzen 7000-series x3 vCPUs versus my i5 9500 running concurrent services)
Only if you don’t play technical minecraft with sensitive redstone arrangements.
OP, if you want performance and redstone, use a fabric server.
I have definitely considered Fabric Server. It might give me opportunities for some smaller mods later.
Fabric servers can even run on RPi (within reasonable parameters) and it has nice documentation.
Pro-tip: Use docker to maintain your Minecraft server. Much easier.
Fabric with some performance-enhancing mods is a great choice as well, yes! I’ve been wanting to test it on my server for a while now, just haven’t got around to it yet.
Paper changes some of the more quirky vanilla redstone behavior, although - again - it’s very configurable so some of that original behavior can be restored.
I’d mostly base it on which plugin/mod ecosystem you prefer/require.
