How Much RAM Does an RLCraft Server Need?
RLCraft is one of the most RAM-hungry Minecraft modpacks. Lycanites Mobs, RealisticTorches, Tough As Nails and 280+ other mods keep the server's memory permanently elevated — especially mid-game.
8 GB
2–6 players, early gameMinimum. Boots and runs, but expect GC pauses on busy nights. Only viable for a very small group playing casually in the early game.
10 GB
4–10 playersRecommended for a normal group. Covers early and mid-game without constant memory pressure. This is the right starting point for most RLCraft servers.
12 GB
8–16 playersComfortable for active RLCraft play with Lycanites spawning heavily and multiple players exploring simultaneously. Good choice for a group that plays frequently.
16 GB
12–24 playersLate-game with all dimensions active and many loaded chunks. Provides real headroom for mob-heavy nights and large builds without the server sweating.
