How much RAM does your Minecraft server need?

Two factors decide: the number of concurrent players and your mods or plugins. Beyond that, high single-core performance matters because important parts of the game logic run on one main thread.

Configurator from €1.99/month · example configurations from 4 GB RAM

Vanilla with a few friends
Example: 4 GB

Small world, few concurrent players — the classic way to start.

Configure
Community server with plugins (Paper/Spigot)
Example: 6–8 GB

Plugins and more players need headroom — especially with widely explored worlds.

Configure
Modpacks or many concurrent players
Example: 8 GB or more

Large modpacks are RAM-hungry; plan generously here.

Configure

The advantage of the prepaid model: you start small and move to a suitable plan with more resources when available as your community grows — without a minimum term.

I am very pleased with my collaboration with Noez. They have extremely low prices, and their services are of German quality.

Overall the service was stable. I had for 4 months and no outages. However, the support only available on work days. The disk IOPS was low.

Frequently asked questions about Minecraft servers

Which server do I need for Minecraft?
We recommend a KVM VPS: it is fully virtualized and gives you your own kernel plus full root access. That way you install server software, mods and panels exactly the way you need them.
How much RAM does my Minecraft server need?
That depends on player count, world, mods and plugins. A small vanilla server will generally need less RAM than large modpacks with many concurrent players; available upgrades depend on the plan.
Can I install mods and plugins?
With root access, you can install compatible server software such as Forge, Fabric, Paper or Spigot and suitable plugins. Check the requirements and compatibility for your setup.
How quickly is my server ready to play?
The VPS is online in under 60 seconds after confirmed payment. The free beta app installer then installs Pterodactyl on a compatible server.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes. Free DDoS filtering with up to 1 Tbit/s of filtering capacity is permanently active for every server.
Is there a minimum term?
No. You pay for the server in advance with no minimum term and do not need to cancel. You renew only for as long as you actually need the server.
Can I test whether the performance is sufficient?
Yes, you can try a VPS free for 7 days in the test center. The trial ends automatically.
