What type of server are you planning to create?

Vanilla / Paper

Standard gameplay, servers with plugins (economy, plots). Fairly RAM-friendly.

Vanilla + Crossplay

Java and mobile (GeyserMC) together. Due to packet conversion, it uses slightly more RAM.

Modpacks

Forge/Fabric/NeoForge modpacks. New blocks and mechanics. Extremely memory-hungry!

Proxy (Bungee/Velocity)

A pure proxy used solely to link several servers into a network.

1 - 5 Players

Just you and your closest friends.

6 - 15 Players

A private server for a tight-knit, slightly larger crew.

A growing, up-and-coming public server with advertising.

A large, bustling server. Things start getting crowded.
