So I want to get a minecraft server with my brothers (with about 30 mods).

The server should run over nitrado and with 2GB RAM and 3 players.

Is the ram enough?

dr

Could be tight.

Try it out locally on your computer. Create a server and allocate only 2GB of RAM to the server.

So we just have 3 PCs and there are 4 of us that means 2 brothers of mine play on one PC, but mostly only 2 are online anyway.

So how do I open a LAN or just single player?

ta

No, you download the Minecraft server and Forge. Put both in a folder and then add a bat.

java -Xmx 2G -jar server.jar

instead of server.jar you have to use the name of the Forge.jar.

I don't get it, we don't have the server yet

I tried minecraft in single player with the mods and needed 600mb ram permanently

2GB RAM would definitely be enough for 2 players. The mods are the problem because they are usually very RAM greedy.

I installed a private Minecraft server on a Linux PC. This has 16GB of RAM and runs smoothly. A friend installed one on a RaspberryPi 4B with 4GB RAM (active cooling) and it jerked every now and then. This is because the RAM moves its data to the hard drive. It then takes longer to read the data again, hence the lags.
