The kit provides the <strong>Server<\/strong>, but each player must own their own copy of Minecraft (Java or Bedrock depending on their platform).<\/p>\n<h3>My child plays on Switch \/ Xbox \/ mobile, will it work?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! Thanks to <strong>Bedrock cross-play<\/strong>, any Bedrock player (Switch, Xbox, PS, mobile, Windows 10) can join the server. Just add the server using its IP and port 19132.<\/p>\n<h3>How many simultaneous players can it host?<\/h3>\n<p>The Lite comfortably handles <strong>4 to 6 players<\/strong>. For 6-10 players or XL worlds, go for the <strong>Minecraft Plus Kit<\/strong> (NVMe + optimized RAM).<\/p>\n<h3>Is there a subscription to pay?<\/h3>\n<p>No, <strong>No subscription<\/strong>. You pay for the kit once, and it works for life. Electricity cost of around \u20ac5-8 per year (Pi 5 = ~5 W at idle).<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to be an expert to set it up?<\/h3>\n<p>Not at all. The kit is <strong>ready to plug in<\/strong>. The only \u201ctechnical\u201d step is opening port 25565 on your internet router.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens in the event of a power cut?<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>minecraft.service<\/strong> service automatically restarts the server as soon as the Pi reboots. Nothing is lost thanks to the <strong>automatic nightly backups<\/strong> (7-day retention).<\/p>\n<h3>Why is the Lite cheaper than the Plus?<\/h3>\n<p>The Lite uses a <strong>64 GB microSD card<\/strong> instead of an NVMe SSD. Chunk loading is slightly slower (but remains very acceptable for 4-6 players). For XL worlds or more players, the Plus with NVMe loads terrain <strong>8\u00d7 faster<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li><strong>Plug-and-play private Minecraft server<\/strong> : Raspberry Pi 5 8GB preinstalled, starts on its own in 30 s<\/li>\n<li><strong>4 to 6 simultaneous players<\/strong> + cross-play Switch, Xbox, PS, mobile via Geyser\/Floodgate<\/li>\n<li><strong>PaperMC, Java 21, admin plugins<\/strong>, automatic backup every night, no subscription<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":31526,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[414],"product_cat":[40],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-31525","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-monraspberry","product_cat-kits-gaming","first","onbackorder","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","add-to-wishlist-after_add_to_cart"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/31525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/31525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33442,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/31525\/revisions\/33442"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=31525"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=31525"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=31525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
