    Like others already advised you should be okay using an old laptop running Linux. Also get the paper server for minecraft as it is way more optimized than the vanilla servers

    Edit: I almost forgot, using GraalVM instead of OpenJDK or whatever default Java installation is worth looking into. Doing that gave my Minecraft client a ~20% performance uplift

    Also if you need help getting more FPS for a better (clientside) gaming experience feel free to reach out

        You can, just copy the world directory and see that it’s the same name as in ``` server.properties

        Ngl if youre not used to linux I don’t reccomend this, it can get a lot more annoying that its worth having to learn 2 things at once (but it will be more efficient)

        Just copy your world and try if it works

        Also keep in mind that paper breaks some redstone contraptions with it’s optimizations. If that’s a dealbreaker for you you can also install Fabric and some performance mods onto a vanilla server instead

        I personally never had a problem running paper though
