How Much RAM Does a Cave Horror Project Server Need?

The honest answer is that Cave Horror Project's 160 mods push it well past vanilla. For most real groups, 8 GB is where the stress drops and the server starts feeling comfortable — see the Cave Horror Project pack page for more. 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.

6 GB

Workable for a small group (up to ~24 players), but low on headroom with 160 mods active.

8 GB

Best starting point for most Cave Horror Project servers — comfortable for up to ~32 players.

10 GB

Safer for a mid-size community of up to ~40 players.

12 GB

Best for larger communities of up to ~48 players or longer-running worlds.
