You can also hire servers for a monthly fee from online companies, though you may have to be over 18 for that, I'm not sure!

You have enlightened me, sparks. 

But really? It's that simple? Could it be done on, say, a Raspberry Pi? 

If it has java. :3
I prefer Ubuntu, though, due to the fact that the base OS takes up very little RAM.

That can be done, correct?

Minimum system requirements for a minecraft server is 500MB of RAM for up to four players. Since the newer version of the Raspberry Pi (since October 15 2012) has 512MB RAM, it may just be possible to use it as a server. However, you'd have to run it on a system without a GUI and with an OS using no more than 15MB of RAM, which I don't know exists...

sources:
Minimum System Requirements for Minecraft Servers
Raspberry Pi Specs

Since when?  I run a mc server with 256 MB of RAM (on Ubuntu, though,) and it works just fine.

Wow! Sounds good! The source much be wrong then!

Yeah, that's probably for LAN servers or something.

Speaking of raspberry pi, there's going to be a Pi-specific version of Minecraft called Minecraft Pi Edition. It's basically a port of Pocket Edition, but it's open source!

Just wanted to say thanks to those of you who have subscribed to my LP! It's really a huge help when starting a channel up and I honestly appreciate it!

Oh, thanks!  I don't know anything technical about minecraft, exept that porkchops are better than cookies. 

Also, how do you install mods?  I kinda want to install OptiFine.

Get magic launcher.
Click setup.
Click Add.
Select the optifine file(don't extract).
Enter account details(i use it, it's safe).
PROFIT!

There's also a more complicated way:
Download 7-zip or WinRAR, but you have to pay for WinRAR
Open the Optifine .zip file in 7zip/WinRAR
If you're on windows, go to windows explorer and type %appdata%/.minecraft/bin into the top. IDK on other OSes
Open the minecraft.jar file in a different 7z/RAR window.
Select everything from the Optifine window and drag it into the minecraft.jar window.
Delete META_INF from minecraft.jar
PROFIT!

And yeah, you can make your own skin from the orignal skin file.

It's easier on a Mac. You don't have to download anything but the mod.

1. Download Optifine from the official website using Safari.
2. In the "Downloads" tab in Safari, mouse over that folder named "Optifine xxx" and click "Show in Finder".
3. The Finder should have automatically make the .zip into a folder. Open the folder and copy all the class files.
4. Locate your "minecraft" folder. Inside "bin", delete "minecraft.zip" and rename the "minecraft.jar" to "minecraft.zip".
5. Paste the class files into this folder and delete META-INF.
6. Rename "minecraft.zip" back to "minecraft.jar" and test!

On Mac, the minecraft.jar even works as a folder, renamed to minecraft.jar.

Ooh, really? You may have just fixed all of my live's problems with that statement. (Yes, I know I told that to sparks.)

I'm going to start building a GIANT MC airport 

If nobody knows, mcctf.com is an awesome server!

Explain. If you want me to code something, I could, but it would be slow and simple.

I would like a mod that allows you to change which skinserver is used to display player skins.  The current one is:

That server is terrible.
WAYYYYYY too much DLC.
They took all the cool stuff and give it to the people who think wasting money on completely unnecessary things is a good idea. MCPVP is REALLY greedy.
