Wondered if you could host a Minecraft Server away from home? Or from a mobile device? Well, here, it is possible, what you'll need is to install the Linux Operating System onto an Android Device, you can do this by downloading the following app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid&hl=en
I recommend installing the small Image of Ubuntu 12
Requirments:
*A rooted device[ (Optional) (See http://goo.gl/7w27g) ]
*Java 6+ (Installed in this tutorial)
*1024MB Free RAM (Very Recommended)
*Dual-core proccessor or better (Overclocking may improve performance, See http://goo.gl/PrU5D)
After installing Linux on your Android device, you'll run whichever Linux OS you installed from the app, and then head to the terminal app and window Ubuntu is running on.
Steps (Typing these commands into terminal):
1. Start by checking the requirments and making sure your system is up to date by running the command “sudo apt-get update”
2. Get the required packages by running the following command: “sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre screen”
3. Create the a new directory for Minecraft: “sudo mkdir /home/minecraft”
4. Navigate to the new directory: “cd /home/minecraft”
6. Download minecraft server: “sudo wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft_server.jar”;
7. Run the minecraft server with the following command: “sudo java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui”
8. This should start your minecraft server! To stop the server just type “stop”
Server files should be located on /data/local/mnt/home/minecraft if on Ubuntu 12
Ubuntu is not limited to this, many other things can be done.
