Minecraft Questions
by stephanie daniels 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Dear Minecraft Tech Librarians, I am confused. I see that some libraries have set up an in-house server. What are the advantages of the in-house server as opposed to just buying a minecraft license for each machine. If I buy 10 licenses at 26.50 that is $265. If I set-up the server the software is $41 and each license is $18 so that is $221.00 plus the cost of our tech person. I am looking for guidance and advice. Regards,Stephanie DanielsHartford Public Library
