How much RAM do I need for a Minecraft server?

For vanilla with 1-5 players, 2GB is sufficient. For 10-20 players, 4-6GB. Modded servers need more — light modpacks need 4-6GB, heavy packs like All The Mods or RLCraft need 8-12GB+. Paper/Spigot servers are more efficient than Vanilla.

What is the difference between Java and Bedrock servers?

Java Edition servers support thousands of mods and plugins and are the standard for PC multiplayer. Bedrock Edition supports cross-platform play (Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, mobile) but has limited mod support. Bridge both using GeyserMC.

Which server software should I use?

Use Vanilla for a pure experience. Use Paper (or Purpur) for plugin support and better performance — it is the most popular choice. Use Forge, Fabric, or NeoForge for mods that change game mechanics. Paper is recommended for most servers.

How many players can a Minecraft server support?

No hard limit. Vanilla handles 20-30 comfortably. Optimized Paper servers handle 50-100+ with adequate hardware. Large networks use BungeeCord or Velocity proxies for thousands of players.

Can Bedrock and Java players play together?

Yes, using GeyserMC — a proxy that translates Bedrock protocols to Java. Install it as a plugin and Bedrock players on any platform can join your Java server.

How do I install modpacks?

Our panel offers one-click modpack installation from CurseForge or Modrinth. Manually, upload the server pack and ensure matching Forge or Fabric loader. Modpacks typically need 6-12GB RAM.
