Is there a way to run a Minecraft server instance on this device?

In theory, you can, but I will take some work. You would need to switch it to running Linux, then recompile the Minecraft stuff to work on ARM instead of x86. That requires the source code, which I'm unsure is available.

I can play Minecraft on this laptop without it lagging, only if I install the mod "optifine" and turn all the settings to the lowest quality. So, no not really.

I have a game called "survival craft" that is exactly like minecraft and it runs smoothly

Yes Minecraft works absolutely perfectly on this, i can also run it on my older hp laptop version of this with only a dual core and 4 gb ram, this thing runs it on max specs pretty well.

I know you can play it on an iPad but you need an app for it. I know they make a minecraft pocket edition you can buy for about $6 that is specifically for iPhone and iPad.

Yes. I bought it for my son; he plays Minecraft and Plants vs Zombies on it often.

Yes I do think you can because this laptop does have the minimum processing power required to play Minecraft but I must warn you that this laptop's processor is right at the minimum required so you may run into some problems playing Minecraft.

Ignore the previous two comments. Minecraft is not a high requirement game. It runs fine on a 2007 imac, this will handle it just fine. Recommended Requirements: CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II (K10) 2.8 GHz RAM: 4GB GPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3 HDD: 1GB Latest release of Java 7 from java.com

The I3-4130 has 4400 Graphics built into it and Minecraft indicates that it needs at least Intel GMA 950 to run, so this should work, though I am not sure how high you can run it at and I cannot claim to have run Minecraft on the built in graphics of this chip. I have a separate graphics card installed. One thing to keep in mind as long as you don't run into any driver issues with Linux is that the onboard graphics takes some of the system RAM and I am not sure if you'll be able to adjust the amount of memory dedicated to graphics. On a Windows system, I'd recommend at least 8 gigs to avoid problems. Linux might be able to run and share memory with less, I don't know offhand. Good luck with this.

When you right-click on the shortcut to minecraft there might be an option "Run with graphics possessor" and there'll be an arrow. Make sure you select to use it with the nvidia graphics possessor. Also, make sure you optimize the game using the "Geforce experience." But in the end neither of those things should even matter because the refresh rate of the screen is 60, so you'll never see over 60 frames per second on the screen.

Can't really answer that since I don't play Minecraft. I play Duke Nukem, Civ V and some others. I don't think you'll have any problems running Minecraft.

So long as you do it through Crouton (the optional Linux chroot environment), you can install any desktop application that works in Ubuntu Linux, such as Minecraft, Wine and Steam. ChromeOS, by itself, doesn't have a Minecraft version of its own yet.

I'm not sure but I don't see why you couldn't. I know mine wont work without wifi. This isn't much help but you should talk to your server and find out for certain

I don't have Minecraft to test, but I was able to play Final Fantasy XIV and Diablo 3 at low/medium settings with an acceptable framerate.

In a word no. BUT (see the Big BUT) it is not entirely out of the question that someday you will be able to, or with enough determination you could make it work.WoW or World of Warcraft probably too much work.See Link Here: http://www.chromebookforum.com/forum/17-chrome-os-software-forum/4321-wow-chromebook-how.htmlMinecraft I believe is only available for iOS/Android,PC or Mac...so The Chrome OS that the Chromebook runs will probably not play minecraft at this point.

Sorry I don't know because I don't have the minecraft game, and I am not a game player with my smart device.

This laptop was so slow that we returned it. I doubt that it would run Minecraft.
