#2I presumed for a moment someone had built a web server running off the Minecraft redstone circuits.

#3Great work, but...Java? Is this for compatibility with mods?
One of the biggest pain points with running a Minecraft server is the onerous memory requirements. Java needs a ton of memory to get out of bed, and after that it's not always pretty with how the allocator works. That's fine on an enterprise server with 64GB of memory, but not cool when you're paying $10/mo. per GB of memory for what should be an inexpensive hobby.

I'd love to play with the code of a C/C++ Minecraft server. Is there any yet?

#5I really don’t want to discourage you from looking into Glowstone, but a really cool project I had stumbled over half a year ago is Cuberite[1], a Minecraft server written in C++.

Have you ever played Minecraft on a server without mods? It’s impossible to administer past 5 people. For that using realms is an alternative . Every other server needs mods to function.

Yeah, most likely. It says it supports Bukkit and Sponge plugins, both of which are built in Java (dunno much about Sponge, but Bukkit plugins are literally just .JAR files)

$10 per GB? That’s insane -- basically what high end DDR4 costs upfront.

It's basically what Digital Ocean's droplets cost: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/
$5/mo for 0.5G, $10/mo for 1G, $20/mo for 2G. All the standard droplets, except for the 3G for $15/mo one, make you pay $10 more per gigabyte.
Both Vultr and Linode seem to offer twice the amount of RAM per dollar though.
