Family Minecraft server Buying advice (midwest.social)

Looking for advice on a good Mini PC for a family Minecraft server. 64 GB, SSD, budget is $400. Amazon is preferred, because I have award credits from my job. I'm happy to assemble things myself if that's more cost effective.

Amazon refurbished used and refurbished devices.

And then from there, I'd recommend one of the older office PC's like the HP elitedesk line, as they are sold in large amounts by institutions like colleges when they are done with them. You should replace the SSD on them, as the SSD is commonly replaced with a really crappy one that is likely to die on yout.
