How Much RAM Does a CABIN: Create Above & Beyond In Newer Server Need?
CABIN: Create Above & Beyond In Newer (see the CABIN: Create Above & Beyond In Newer pack page) is a Forge 1.20.1 port of the beloved Create: Above and Beyond expert pack, and its RAM needs reflect that heritage: the same dense mechanical-contraption tech progression and heavy FTB Quests guide as the original 1.16.5 pack, rebuilt on newer, better-performing 1.20.1 mods. Here's how to size it correctly. 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, solo or a tiny 1-2 player group. Below this, Create's mechanical contraptions and the pack's heavy FTB Quests guide will fight each other for memory, and you'll feel it as stutter whenever a machine is running.
7 GB
The best starting point for most servers. This matches CABIN's own recommended RAM floor for Forge 1.20.1 and gives Create's kinetic/mechanical systems enough headroom alongside the expert-level quest progression ported over from the original Create: Above and Beyond.
10 GB
Safer for a mid-size active group. More simultaneous players means more entities, more chunks loaded for sprawling Create contraptions, and more quest/recipe state being tracked at once.
14 GB
For 10+ players or a long-running world. Large automated factories, kinetic networks, and an expert-length quest progression all accumulate over time, and a world this developed needs the extra margin to stay smooth.
