How Much RAM Does a Valhelsia 3 Server Need?
Valhelsia 3 is the Forge 1.16.5 predecessor to Valhelsia 6, running the same Create, Botania, and Biomes O' Plenty combination on an older mod ecosystem — see the Valhelsia 3 pack page for the full mod list. Here's how much RAM to budget depending on your group size. 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 — only realistic for solo play or testing the pack out. Create's automation and Botania's mana calculations will start competing for heap the moment a second player joins.
8 GB
The best starting point for most Valhelsia 3 servers. This matches the pack's own recommended RAM floor and comfortably covers Create contraptions, Botania mana networks, and Biomes O' Plenty's expanded worldgen for a small group.
12 GB
Safer for a mid-size, actively-playing group — more headroom for simultaneous Create machines, Botania flower farms, and chunk generation as the world grows.
16 GB
Recommended for 10+ players or a long-running world. By this point explored terrain, built-up automation, and accumulated entities all add sustained memory pressure that a tighter heap can't absorb.
