RAM planning value for the default configuration. The specific assumptions are in the plan details.

Why choose this plan

• Price-based selection within this host. Known renewal prices are included.
• NVMe storage according to the plan source.

What you should know

• The exact processor may vary depending on location and available machine.
• The host link goes to the host's home page. Select the plan above there.
• CPU details describe the host pool, not measured performance or a commitment to an exact processor for this plan.
• Optional extras are not included in the comparison price.
• 8 dedicated CPU cores according to the product page.

Player count assumptions

• One game world.
• Normal draw distance.
• No mods.
• No large redstone farms.
• Players mostly in the same region.
• Java RAM model without mods: 2 GB base budget for 2 players, then 128–256 MB per additional player. Calculated at 1000 MB per GB.
• The base budget is tight. The sources recommend more reserve for small groups, depending on how you play. View distance, exploration, world size and CPU performance can limit things earlier.
• The model ends at 100 players. This is a limit of our estimate, not a technical slot limit.
• Gameforest planning estimate. For pure RAM estimates, the filter uses the conservative lower end, not a measured performance value.
