Minimum RAM Required for a 60-mod server

Posted April 18, 201411 yr

I want to order a minecraft server hosting package, I'll play with about ~50-60 mods, and 3 players all the time.

What is the minimum RAM that I should go with ?

Thanks in advance!

One hundred BAJILLION terrabytes!

No seriously thats a stupid question it would depend on the load, depend on the specific mods etc...

You'll have to try it out and see.

Also once you start getting into more and more mods, the issue becomes cpu time not ram.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

I'm not playing with high intense mods (ic2, buildcraft), I'm playing CrazyCraft modpack ( orespawn,mutant creatures... ) , should 1.5 gb be enough?

well use 2GB ram and if it starts to lagg try to use 3GB and as Lex said the cpu time is the issue most time. If cpu time becomes the problem then try closing some applications while playing or running the server like Steam, Skype etc.

As I said, I'm going to use a hosting service, so I don't need to worry about other services, and I'm not using any high intense CPU mods, so I don't need to worry about that. I'll start with 1.5gb, and expend if that's not enough!

Thanks!

If you're running a mod pack, then the mod pack would be the place to ask as they *should* know the basic details of what the mods in there pack require.

(((SOLVED))) Loading into certain worlds stuck on "Reading world data" then stops responding.

I just found a solution 2 minutes ago, you have to make a copy of your world (go into the folder, go to saves, save your world as zip, put it on desktop for later.) After you make a copy uninstall the mod pack/version entirely. Reinstall, then put the copy of the world you made back in the saves folder. And boom you can play again.

Fr? Like are the rods in the normal Command Mod now? And do they work in 1.21.10 or does it still crash?

Using Online Tools are Cheating in Minecraft

I’ve been experimenting with building different shapes in Minecraft lately - circles, domes, curves, and other structures that are normally pretty tough to get right using only block placement by hand. To help with this, I started using a few online tools like circle generators and shape planners, and they’ve made the process much smoother and more accurate. It does make me wonder though - are these kinds of tools considered cheating, or just helpful building references? I still gather all the materials myself and place every block manually, so to me it feels more like a building aid than something unfair, but I’d love to hear what others think.
