How Much RAM Does a Create'a Colony Server Need?
Create'a Colony runs Create's mechanical factories alongside MineColonies' NPC colony management on Forge 1.20.1, and both systems scale with world activity rather than mod count — so RAM needs shift fast as a colony grows. See the Create'a Colony pack page for the full modpack details. 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 for a solo player or a very small test world. Expect stutters once a colony grows past a handful of buildings or a Create automation chain gets long.
6 GB
Best starting point — this matches the pack's own recommended RAM floor, so it's the right default rather than a guess, and it's comfortable for a small group running one active colony.
8 GB
Safer for a mid-size, active group running several colonies and Create factory lines at once without one system starving the other.
12 GB
For 10+ players, long-running worlds, or multiple expanded colonies with heavy Create automation feeding them simultaneously.
