Minecraft "Hermitcraft" Modpack

There is no defined system requirements that will say you - ‘you need 1GB of RAM’. You need to test it and see how it works. The thing you need to look at is RAM. CPU is not a problem, but RAM is biggest problem with Minecraft servers.

In my experience 2 GB would be enough to run 10 player vanilla server. Even maybe more then enough. But problem is mods that can consume a lot and it could be that you’ll need 4 GB RAM plan (this is $40). You can try to going with 2 GB, with addition of swap if needed. Problem is that swap can slow down server actually but as servers on SSD it can be less noticeable.

As I said, without test run, no one can say how much you’ll need. :)

Hi @jadeonkingc0e75,

It’s really hard to pinpoint such things. The best possible way is to ‘test it out’. What I always like to do is start with the smallest possible droplet and upgrade along the way.

Now, as previously stated the biggest issue will be RAM rather than CPU:

Now you need to take the values with a pinch of salt. Less than the mentioned should be fine. You can always add some SWAP to it which should help in crisis moments.
