How Much RAM Does a Dragoncraft Server Need?
Dragoncraft is a NeoForge 1.21.1 pack built around Ice and Fire: Dragons and its companion mods, where dragons are tameable allies rather than the hostile threats you'd find in RLCraft — that companion-taming angle is exactly why RAM needs scale with how many dragons get raised at once.

4 GB
The bare minimum for solo or duo play. NeoForge plus Ice and Fire's dragon AI and lair generation will run, but expect longer load times and noticeable lag once a tamed dragon is flying around and lairs start spawning.
6 GB
The best starting point for most Dragoncraft servers. This matches the pack's own recommended RAM floor and gives enough headroom for dragon AI, lair generation, and the companion mods to run smoothly for a small group.
8 GB
Safer for a mid-size active group taming and raising multiple dragons at once, especially once several lairs have been explored and more of the world is loaded.
12 GB
For 10+ players or a long-running world with many tamed dragons, expanded lairs, and a large explored map — gives the headroom needed to keep tick rates stable.
