How Much RAM Does an Echoes of Nostalgia - Expert Server Need?
Echoes of Nostalgia - Expert pairs expert-mode gating with fan-favorite mods from earlier Minecraft eras — Thaumcraft-inspired magic, Tinkers-style crafting, and classic automation — rather than the GregTech-heavy tech trees behind Enigmatica 2: Expert or Cosmic Frontiers. See the Echoes of Nostalgia - Expert pack page for the full mod list. Here's how much RAM you actually need 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 solo play or a tiny group. Expect tick lag once automation lines and magic systems start running simultaneously — this is a floor to test with, not to settle into.
6 GB
The best starting point for most Echoes of Nostalgia - Expert servers — this matches the pack's own recommended RAM floor on Forge 1.20.1 and gives expert-mode progression enough headroom to run cleanly.
8 GB
Safer for a mid-size active group running multiple automation lines and magic-system research at once, where the pack's fan-favorite mods start layering chunk and entity load.
12 GB
For 10+ players or a long-running world with extensive factories, research progress, and tool tiers built up over time — gives the loader room without forcing a mid-world upgrade.
