How Much RAM Does an Isle of Berk (Scales and Skies) Server Need?
Isle of Berk's RAM needs come down to how many grown, flying dragons are active at once, since the Scales and Skies mod adds flight physics and bonding AI on top of standard Forge 1.18.2 overhead. See the Isle of Berk (Scales and Skies) pack page for the full modpack details. Finnish players: Minecraft-palvelin hosting is our native-language page.

4 GB
Bare minimum for a solo player or a tiny group with at most one or two active dragons. Expect noticeable lag once a hatchling grows up and starts flying regularly.
6 GB
The best starting point for most Isle of Berk (Scales and Skies) servers. This covers Forge 1.18.2's base overhead plus the dragon AI, bonding, and flight physics the Scales and Skies mod adds, with room for several dragons in play at once.
8 GB
Safer for a mid-size, active group where multiple players are each raising and flying their own dragons simultaneously, which keeps more entities with flight physics loaded at once.
12 GB
Recommended for 10+ players or a long-running world where dragon populations and explored terrain both keep growing over time.
