Minecraft server guidance - it's a bit of a minefield :/ (alien.top)

Hi everyone, I've been looking at spinning up a minecraft bedrock server for my kids. I've found the official server, Nukkit and PowerNukkitX and managed to get all three up and running in a test VM. I can see Nukkit and PNX have plugins, which the kids want, the ecosystem seems like a bit of a badly documented quagmire, or maybe I've just not found the good forums / blogs to read.

Do you have any recommendations on which platfrom (Nukkit/PNX etc) is most stable / most actively developed? Do you have any links to good blog posts or guides getting plugins installed and up and running for authentication and permissions and all that jazz?

What have you had most luck with, and what do you like best?

Somewhat unrelated, but I run a bedrock and java server for my son and his friends and pterodactyl has been a lifesaver. It containerizes all the different games and you can do one-click upgrades and backups. I have set up everything from scratch and while it’s fun to learn, Pterodactyl has been way less of a headache.

It has a solid bedrock server too, that is not resource heavy at all.

I run 3 bedrock worlds in separate docker containers on an old system. Works pretty well.

Get yourself a good yaml linter for testing your configuration files and start to understand how to read the logs for whatever server you use.

Minecraft is a really fantastic way to stay engaged in a lot of self hosted stuff.
