How Much RAM Does an Ancient Kingdoms 3 Server Need?
Ancient Kingdoms 3, the third and most refined entry in its Forge 1.20.1 RPG series, builds kingdom progression and NPC-faction conquest on top of standard modded survival — see the Ancient Kingdoms 3 pack page for the full feature breakdown. That faction AI and settlement tracking is why the RAM tiers below sit a bit above a typical exploration or building pack. 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
Bare minimum for a solo player or a tiny group testing the pack. Forge plus the kingdom/quest systems will run, but settlement growth and any conquest activity will push this tight fast.
7 GB
The best starting point for most Ancient Kingdoms 3 servers. This matches the pack's own recommended RAM floor and gives the faction AI, quest tracking, and settlement systems room to run without stuttering during normal play.
10 GB
Safer for a mid-size active group — several players building settlements and running conquest campaigns in parallel without memory pressure building up over a session.
14 GB
For 10+ players or a long-running world with multiple established kingdoms, ongoing faction conflicts, and a large explored map — the extra headroom keeps performance stable as world state accumulates.
