I wonder how many players can join a 7GB RAM, 4core server (Minecraft server)

(The server should still run smoothly)

an

Vanilla: approx. 100

With plugins: approx. 70

an

Vanilla or with plugins?

If plugins: How many approx?

According to http://www.minecraftinfo.de between 50 and 80 players. But if you don't use a lot of plugins / mods probably even more players

Really so many my pc already smears on me and 3 friends and he has 30 gb ram and 20 of them are assigned to minecraft

Vi

Okay thanks, I'm going to set the player slots limit to 50😂👍

Vi

The game is still running in the background and other apps AND maybe the pc has only 1 core

Vi

Spigot, 25 plugins | worldguard…

an

Which processor?

Vi

Okay, thanks, I'll do 50 first and if it's not 50 then I'll turn it up.

Is a good idea ^^

You're welcome

Vi

I do not know that

Mi

I have no idea I have to look

Depending on the server software. With vanilla 80-100, spigot 60, paper 65-70, purple 80-100.

Of course it depends on plugins, cores don't play that big a role since the main server is primarily single thread… Plugins can be an exception.

A Raspberry Pi single-board computer can also be used as a server. I recommend the Raspberry Pi 4B with 8GB RAM: https://www.reichelt.de/de/de/das-reichelt-raspberry-pi-4-b-8-gb-all-in-bundle-rpi-4b-8gb-allin-p284444.html?r=1 This is a starter set so you can get started right away.

I recommend Raspberry Pi OS in the 64bit version as the operating system. This is a Debian adapted to the Raspberry Pi. Here is the download of the image: https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/raspios_arm64-2020-05-28/2020-05-27-raspios-buster-arm64.zip

Then unzip the zip and then flash the image to the memory card with this tool https://www.balena.io/...io/etcher/. Format the memory card as normal beforehand.

And this is how you set up a Minecraft server on the Raspberry Pi under the Raspberry Pi OS operating system: https://tutorials-raspberrypi.de/raspberry-pi-minecraft-server-installieren/

The Raspberry Pi requires very little power. If you were to run this, for example, as a Minecraft server in continuous operation, you would have electricity costs of less than 10 euro per year.

I've read 5 per gb, but I'm not so sure. It also depends on whether people do a lot of ram-consuming things (redstone etc.) and whether you use a lot of command blocks
