You can just install minecraft on all three Mac accounts, and set up the same microsoft account on every account. This will prevent them from having their 'own' game on some servers, as the items and things you do on a server are linked to a certain account.

If your kids just want to build some things in singleplayer and have fun doing that, a single microsoft account on all MacOS accounts will work great.

More experienced coders is kinda belittling to the java devs, they also know what they're doing. Some initial design decisions make it just really difficult to modify the game loop and make it more efficient.

I use the names of greek deities for my host names, mostly geared towards the function of the server/computer.

• Nyx (dark-blue laptop)
• Hypnos (gaming machine)
• Argus (pi-hole and reverse proxy)
• Prometheus (minecraft server)

That would mean bedrock, java is limited to pc's only.

To be fair, also love the mini pc's and having a larger NAS. For me the PoE capabilities of the Pi's are definitely the reason I use them

I have a simple mod, but it really sucks to stay up to date. I play with a lot of mobs and haven't updated minecraft since 1.21.1. I also think that the new update release cycle really messes up mod developer workflows, as you need to put in a crap ton of work or don't have to do anything. Before this, you could just update on a major release, while code was mostly the same in a minor release.

I'm currently saving up to buy a fractal design node 804 to build a NAS with 4 drives within. Also trying to create some more reliable backups using said NAS.

Going with rust for the second year, I'm still trying to learn things with it and AoC is a great way to do so

Modrinth just started their server network, it is very new, so I'm not quite sure on reliability. The company itself is open-source and seems quite good, they have made a great mod platform in recent years.

I was planning on filtering local and external IP's, like technotim explains in one of his videos by using cloudflare as an external reverse proxy

I'm aware of this. There are a few services I expose, but most of them are local. I just wanted to make accessing local services a bit cleaner.

Will also take a look at the router DNS, thanks a lot!
