Is it right to run java arm?

478    Asked by LeahHarris in Java , Asked on Oct 10, 2022

I have a couple of spare Raspberry Pi 4's from a project last year. I was recently thinking that it would be really cool to run a Minecraft server on them, afterall they now have 4gb ram and a quad core cpu. Minecraft servers run on a .jar file and I found that oracle does not officially support Arm.

You don’t need an “official” Java arm from Oracle, OpenJDK is available and just as official; on your Raspberry Pi,


sudo apt install default-jre

will install the runtime environment, and

sudo apt install default-jdk

will install the development kit.

A large number of Java packages are available, this list gives details per release of Raspberry Pi OS. All these packages come from Debian and are also available in Ubuntu.
