How Much RAM Does a DawnCraft Server Need?
The honest answer is that DawnCraft needs more than a cheap vanilla plan, but not always as much as the heaviest kitchen-sink packs. For most real groups, 8 GB is where the stress drops and the server starts feeling comfortable.
6 GB
Works for a very small group, but low on headroom.
8 GB
Best starting point for most DawnCraft servers.
10 GB
Safer if several players will keep the world active.
12 GB
Best for larger groups or longer-running worlds.
