Despite its age, I'd like to share my thoughts on RAM usage for Minecraft servers. The amount of RAM needed varies depending on the version of the Minecraft server software you're using, such as Spigot 1.12 or Spigot 1.13. Older versions like 1.12 require a minimum of 2GB of RAM, while version 1.13 requires at least 4GB to ensure smooth server operation. Additionally, each plugin typically uses around 20-50MB of RAM, and MODs may require 50-70MB, depending on their size and complexity in the script. It's recommended to use a server RAM calculator to determine the appropriate amount of RAM needed for your specific setup.
