Your readers should be aware that the ability to run a server on a home ISP account is becoming more rare. Many specifically ban running servers and more and more are converting to CGNAT where you share your incoming IP with other users. If you have free access to your server, using ngrok might get you past this.

Raspberry Pi OS is very light, it doesn't use more than a gig, so I'd recommend allocating all of your RAM except one gig to Minecraft. You need all the performance you can get on the Pi.

Furthermore, also get Lithium on the Pi to optimize the server. It requires Fabric though.

Edit: If anyone's curious, I wrote my own setup guide here, which covered some workarounds for issues I encountered following the article, server configuration, and also installing mods.

easiest way I can think of is simply copying the world save over to your Pi from your PC, it shouldn’t pose too much issues.
