How Much RAM Does a Verdant Idea Server Need?
Verdant Idea is a Forge 1.20.1 nature and exploration pack — see the Verdant Idea pack page for the full mod list — and its RAM needs scale with how much of the world you've explored, since Alex's Mobs, Patchwork, and Regions Unexplored keep generating new biodiversity as players spread out. Here's a tier-by-tier breakdown to help you pick a starting point. 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
Below Verdant Idea's own recommended floor — workable only for solo or two-player testing, and you'll likely see longer chunk-load stalls as Regions Unexplored and Alex's Mobs populate new areas.
6 GB
Verdant Idea's own recommended starting point for Forge 1.20.1 — enough headroom for the full mod list (Alex's Mobs, Patchwork, Regions Unexplored) on a small to mid-size server.
8 GB
A safer margin for a mid-size active group exploring multiple biomes at once, since Regions Unexplored keeps generating new terrain as players spread out.
12 GB
Recommended for 10+ players or a long-running world where a large explored area is already loaded and cached.
