How Much RAM Does a Desertopolis Server Need?
Desertopolis is a desert-biome survival and city-building pack on Forge 1.20.1, and its memory needs are driven mainly by MineColonies' colonist simulation and Create's automated machines rather than the biome restriction itself. The catalog's own recommended floor is 7 GB — see the Desertopolis pack page for the full feature list. Below is how that scales by group size. Finnish players: Minecraft-palvelin hosting is our native-language page. German players: Minecraft-Server mieten covers the same hosting auf Deutsch. Svenska spelare: Hyra Minecraft-server täcker samma hosting på svenska.
5 GB
Below the recommended floor. Might start for a solo player, but MineColonies and Create will likely strain it quickly once a colony grows — not recommended.
7 GB
The best starting point for Desertopolis — this matches the catalog's own recommended RAM floor for a small group running MineColonies and Create without immediate strain.
10 GB
A safer margin for a mid-size active group, especially once the colony and Create's production lines expand.
13 GB
For 10+ players or a long-running world with a sprawling colony and heavy Create automation.
