How Much RAM Does a Wilderness Survival - ForgeLabs Server Need?
Wilderness Survival - ForgeLabs (see the Wilderness Survival - ForgeLabs pack page) is a realistic nature-survival pack on Forge 1.20.1 that strips away tech and magic, so its RAM needs are driven by world generation, foraging, and animal behavior rather than stacked factory or dungeon systems — distinct from Forge Labs' own Alaskan Wilderness pack, which is a separate, cold/Alaska-specific survival challenge with predatory wildlife rather than this generic realistic-nature setup.

2 GB
The bare minimum for a solo or two-player world. Wilderness Survival - ForgeLabs keeps its mod list light since it strips out tech and magic, but 2 GB leaves no headroom for the foraging and animal-behavior systems once the world grows, so expect stutters as play continues.
4 GB
This is the RAM floor Wilderness Survival - ForgeLabs recommends and the best starting point for most servers. It comfortably covers the realistic hunger/temperature tracking and foraging mechanics for a small group without the factory- or dungeon-scale memory load that bigger tech/magic packs carry.
6 GB
A safer choice once you've got a mid-size, regularly active group exploring and foraging across a growing map — more headroom for chunk loading as the explored area expands.
8 GB
For 10+ players or a world that's been running for a long time with a large explored map, 8 GB keeps the server comfortable even as foraged terrain and animal spawn data pile up.
