:UPDATE 8/18/17:
Schematic for the LED array posted.
I installed them with the colors staggered somewhat evenly
They are currently connected through the 3.3v power. I am thinking I may want to test it at 5v, as the lights aren't quite as bright as I had hoped.
Edit 2:
Tried it through 5v. I like it better... posted both schematics, use whichever you prefer. The only difference is whether you connect the power wire through pin 1 or pin 2.
Edit 3:
Server is up and running. Lights are lighting. 100% finished.
:UPDATE 08/17/17:
The lights are working!
I modified the code from this tutorial to make the lights do what I wanted them to do:https://www.sunfounder.com/learn/Super_Kit_V2_for_RaspberryPi/lesson-3-flowing-led-lights-super-kit-for-raspberrypi.html
The script needs to run at startup:https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/usage/rc-local.md
I am using this write-up to set-up the server, but I haven't finished yet:http://lemire.me/blog/2016/04/02/setting-up-a-robust-minecraft-server-on-a-raspberry-pi/
I will work on the server part tomorrow. I will also post the schematic and more pictures tomorrow.

Planning for this to have lights inside that switch from red (redstone) yellow (gold) blue (lapiz) and white (diamonds)
I have not finished the internals for that, but I should have done by tomorrow evening.
In the meantime, here is the case with the PI mount inside,
I designed this to house my family Minecraft server. It seemed appropriate... but I also wanted it to double as a spiffy nightlight.
