How Much RAM Does an FTB Builders Paradise Server Need?
FTB Builders Paradise is a pure creative building sandbox on Forge 1.12.2 — see the FTB Builders Paradise pack page for the full mod list. Because it skips survival gates and quests entirely, its RAM needs track the number of builders and the volume of decoration mods loaded (Chisel, Decocraft, MrCrayfish's Furniture, Bibliocraft) rather than mob counts or progression systems. 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
The bare minimum for a solo builder or a tiny two-person plot — Forge 1.12.2 plus Chisel, Decocraft, and the furniture mods will boot, but expect slower chunk loading as decoration block variants register.
5 GB
The best starting point for most Builders Paradise servers — this is the modpack's own recommended floor once all its decoration mods (Chisel, Decocraft, MrCrayfish's Furniture, Bibliocraft) are loaded, even though there's no survival load to account for.
8 GB
Safer for a mid-size group of builders working on separate plots at once, since large decorative builds with lots of Chisel block variants add up in loaded-chunk memory even without any mobs or survival systems running.
12 GB
For 10+ builders or a long-running shared world with sprawling builds — Builders Paradise worlds tend to grow outward rather than deplete resources, so a long-lived server accumulates loaded decoration geometry over time.
