Frequently Asked Questions

How much RAM do I need for a 10-player Minecraft server?
For a vanilla or Paper server with 10 players, around 3 GB of RAM is usually enough. Modpacks raise this significantly, so adjust the calculator above by server type, player count and plugins for an estimate tailored to your setup.
How accurate is this Minecraft RAM calculator?
The calculator gives a solid starting estimate based on server type, player count and plugins. Actual usage varies with mods, world size and server activity, so pick a plan slightly above the estimate if you run heavy modpacks.
Is this RAM calculator free to use?
Yes, the calculator is completely free with no sign-up required. Adjust the sliders and you will see the recommended amount of RAM update instantly, right in your browser.
How much RAM does a heavy modpack need?
Heavy modpacks need considerably more RAM than a vanilla server because every mod and loaded chunk consumes memory. Select "Heavy Modpack" above and adjust the player count to see an estimate. ValueGameNode supports Forge, Fabric, Paper and Spigot mods on every paid plan.
