What fits on a 24 GB Minecraft server
| Server | Players online on 24 GB |
|---|---|
| Paper with 20 or more plugins | About 66 |
| Vanilla survival | Up to 88 |
| Light modpack, about 50 mods | Up to 40 |
| Heavy modpack, 300 mods or more | Up to 18 |
With 60 players or more, the processor sets the limit as much as the memory. Add vCPU on the order form, pre-generate the world and keep farms in check.
Run a community server

- Schedules: restarts at the quietest hour, shown in the Players tab
- Maintenance mode: close the server to players while you update plugins

One big server or a network
A single 24 GB server is simpler: one world, one plugin set, one console. A network splits survival, creative and minigames over several smaller servers behind a proxy, which spreads the load over more vCPU.
