How Much RAM Does a Desolate Planet Server Need?
Desolate Planet - A Crash Landing Remake is a Forge 1.20.1 survival pack where tech isn't optional — it's the only way to find water on a barren planet before the environment wins. See the Desolate Planet - A Crash Landing Remake pack page for the full mod list, which keeps the hard-mode, water-scarcity spirit of the original 2014 Crash Landing pack. Here's how much RAM to give it at each stage. 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.
4 GB
Bare minimum for a solo run — tight for Forge 1.20.1's mod list, and the lack of headroom can show up as stutters during the exact early moments when you're most exposed on a planet with no water.
6 GB
The recommended starting point for Desolate Planet - A Crash Landing Remake. Enough headroom for the full mod list and the early survival grind without leaning on the host.
8 GB
A safer bet for a small group of 3-5 playing through the resource-scarce early game together, where more chunks get loaded at once.
12 GB
For 10+ players or a long-running world with expanding bases and automation — the pack's tech backbone adds up once multiple players are automating in parallel.
