Details
From the project READMEMCpi5Server
This is how I've set up my Minecraft server using PaperMC on my Raspberry Pi 5.
I also use the plugins with the base configuration: Chunky and SimpleVoiceChat.
Requirements
I used Java 24, you can try with different versions if you want but I can't guarantee it will work.
In order to use the script you simply have to download the PaperMC version of your choice and rename it to paper.jar in the same folder as the script.
How to use
You can simply launch the command ./server_start on your Raspberry Pi and enjoy.
Pregenerate
To pregenerate the world so I experience less lag during gaming sessions I used these Chunky commands in the server's terminal (after starting it):
chunky shape circle
chunky radius 5000
chunky world overworld
chunky start
chunky world world_nether
chunky start
chunky world world_the_end
chunky start

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
