I want to know how to make an hpc cluster server to host minecraft

I want to use this server for gaming and other Ubuntu desktop tasks

I want to use vnc for this server to log in anywhere on the world and control the minecraft console

please explain to me step for step how to do this

because I still have a few old computers lying around, and get some for free from a friend.

greetings berrylee32 (minecraft name)

  • Cluster != server. Very different systems.

  • Yes, but you can't just plug in a network cable to each machine and expect Minecraft to magically run as if it were a clustered server. A cluster is a network topology and a form of infrastructure. "Clustered" applications and services are designed to work in a distributed system. Minecraft server is a generic server application that's designed to run on a single PC.

  • you can't do that - there's no way to distribute a single arbitrary process across multiple machines. Software has to be designed with this in mind, and Minecraft isn't
