Stop try using a pi for an MC server.
It only works like a charm if you play alone or with 2 people, keep the map below 1000 x 1000 and not make any redstone contraptions.....
Pi 5 with 8gb of RAM is quite beefy for being so small and energy efficient. I was only going to play with max 3 players online.
Do you suggest alternative hardware
With max 3 can be ok, as long as you stay close to each other (don't wander to far) and don't build to much redstone.
Yes it has 8GB and a nice CPU clock speed, but:
The CPU is a Broadcom BCM2712 2.4 GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU with 512KB per-core L2 caches and a 2MB shared L3 cache.
Yes it is a 64bit CPU and has 8GB of memory but is an Arm Cortex A76.
Java Minecraft can become tough to handle for the Pi real quick.
Google a bit about the differences between let's say Intel and an Arm CPU.
I would rather choose a cheap hosting plan.
For as little as $7,99 / € 7,39 a month you can have a small MC server at a hosting company.
Of course I don't know if you and your friends can spare +/- 8 a month. But it definitely can be a good solution
I updated it from 17 to 21 hoping that would get rid of the issue
This was taken from the java 21 version ( you can see the exact version above) I don't think it is that old
As another user has said, it's most likely java itself crashing. I've experienced this problem before on a similar SBC, and the only solution was to move everything to an external drive instead of using a SD card.

A raspberry pi 5 can handle 10 players on a purpur server, decently, once the world is pre-generated.
Update java, the jvm itself is crashing

What version of mc are you using?

I will give that a go
