A group of friends and I (6 of us) were thinking of renting a forge server. The server would have around 10-15 mods such as biomes o' plenty, mo' creatures, tinkers construct, and a bunch of basic mods.
My question is: How much ram should the server need in order to run optimally? We would probably have only 4 or 5 people online at a time.
Also, do the people joining the server via ip address need to download the mods or use a different launcher than the default Minecraft java launcher?
Thanks for any answers you have.
