How Much RAM Does a Fear The Mist Server Need?
Fear The Mist is a mist-based horror survival pack on Forge 1.19.2 — see the full Fear The Mist pack page for everything it includes. The mist rolls in at night with creatures tied to that cycle, and that nightly mist sweep is what drives the RAM you actually need, more than player count alone. It's different from mob-density horror packs like Horrorland or pure-atmosphere packs like The Fog, since the mist here is a predictable, learnable cycle rather than a constant background load.

4 GB
The bare minimum for a solo world or a two-person test server. It can run, but the mist-cycle mob spawning on Forge 1.19.2 has little headroom, so expect slowdowns right as the mist rolls in at night.
6 GB
The best starting point for most Fear The Mist servers. This matches the pack's own recommended floor and gives the mist cycle's lighting checks and spawn logic enough room to run smoothly through a full day/night cycle.
8 GB
A safer choice for a mid-size active group, especially once players start building bases and exploring farther out — more loaded chunks means more cost every time the mist rolls in.
12 GB
For 10+ players or a long-running world with a large explored area. At this size the mist cycle is touching a lot more terrain each night, and the extra headroom keeps tick times stable.
