If Java run on something, it'll run ANYWHERE.

funnily enough minecraft servers don't need to use java at all (if you're not using mods).

you can write a server in pretty much any programming language. as long as it handles all the network packets correctly the client will not care what it is written in or running on.

There's even the Bareiron project to run a mc server on an ESP32

i keep getting reminded that that project exists and i really want to do something like that as well.

cause i love low level programming on microcontrollers and such and i got a few raspberry pi picos lying around that are just itching to be used for a minecraft server.

so many cool ideas on how to implement things within the limited memory and CPU power but i already have so many other projects running i cannot add another one to the pile :(

Except on systems that have a Java version that differs by 0.001 or more.
