How Much RAM Does a Liminal Industries Server Need?
Liminal Industries is a Forge 1.20.1 expert pack built around Mekanism, Applied Energistics, and deep automation chains, wrapped in a deliberately eerie, liminal-space aesthetic of empty corridors and industrial wasteland biomes. Because the automation stack gets heavy fast, most servers should start well above a generic Forge default. Check the Liminal Industries pack page for the full mod list before picking a plan.

Svenska spelare: Hyra Minecraft-server täcker samma hosting på svenska.
6 GB
Bare minimum for solo play or a tiny 1-2 player test world. Mekanism and AE2 will run, but expect slower chunk loading once automation scales up.
8 GB
Best starting point for most Liminal Industries servers — matches the pack's own recommended RAM floor and gives enough headroom for early-game automation builds.
12 GB
Safer choice for a mid-size active group running multiple Mekanism factories and AE2 networks at once.
16 GB
For 10+ players or a long-running world with sprawling automation — keeps tick rate stable once the factory floor gets large.
