You're wondering if you could still use other parts of your Ubuntu server even while running a Minecraft server. It's a good question—whether you can run another application like Terraria alongside it. Just to clarify, it might not be feasible depending on resource limits and configuration, but it’s worth checking if there are any workarounds or alternative setups you could explore.
Set up the server to operate as a service rather than a foreground app. This approach is ideal for handling multiple tasks simultaneously. For immediate access, log in from another terminal using Ctrl+Alt+(F1–F12) or utilize "screen" to run the process and hide it. These methods are convenient shortcuts. Running a server application as a service is recommended if you need it to perform more than one function at once.
