Choosing the right amount of Server RAM for your Minecraft server
If you've ever asked yourself "how much ram does spigot need"
Choosing the proper amount of ram for your Minecraft server is crucial. If you choose too little, this could leave your server crashing. Have too much ram and you'll have an excess of wasted paid resources. We answer this by breaking down our server plans, so you can buy Minecraft servers or resources in a more reasonable manner. Vanilla Minecraft will be our benchmark in our recommendations. However many more server packs and Minecraft Server Mods like FTB other wise known as Feed The Beast are also supported on the platform. Please note that this chart will be updated as results and tests come back and more data gets collected.
