You should consider DHCP for your Minecraft server. Using NAT might limit your ability to manage IP addresses and access control effectively.

NAT and DHCP serve distinct purposes in networking. DHCP assigns dynamic IP addresses and related details, while NAT allows multiple devices to share one public IP address.

You seem to need a clearer way to state your goal. Are you planning to use a dedicated internet line for this server? Or do you want it to operate independently without affecting other devices in your home? Understanding whether you need NAT or DHCP will help determine the right setup. Your router probably handles IP addresses and DNS through DHCP, but clarifying your needs will guide the best solution.
