How Much RAM Does an Alaskan Wilderness (Forge Labs) Server Need?
Alaskan Wilderness recreates Forge Labs' cold-survival "100 Days" format on Forge 1.20.1, and its temperature mechanics and predatory wildlife AI mean RAM sizing matters more here than in a generic survival pack — see the Alaskan Wilderness pack page for the full mod list. 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.
3 GB
Below the pack's own recommended floor. May boot for a quick solo test but expect instability once temperature mechanics, wildlife AI, and world generation all load at once.
5 GB
The modpack's own recommended floor and the best starting point for most servers — enough headroom for the Forge 1.20.1 mod stack, temperature mechanics, and predatory wildlife AI running together.
8 GB
A safer choice for a mid-size active group of 4-6 players exploring and generating new terrain during the 100-day run.
12 GB
Recommended for 10+ players or a long-running world, where chunks keep expanding and wildlife spawns stack up over many in-game days.
