Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum RAM for a Minecraft server?
The minimum is 2GB RAM for a small vanilla server with 1-5 players. However, we recommend at least 4GB for a smooth experience with mods or more players.
How do optimizations help?
NovoNode optimizations include pre-configured server settings, performance tweaks, and caching that can reduce RAM usage by up to 15% while maintaining performance.
Do I need more CPU or RAM?
Minecraft is primarily single-threaded and benefits more from high clock speeds than multiple cores. However, RAM is crucial for handling players, chunks, and mods. A balanced approach is best.
How do mods affect performance?
Mods significantly increase RAM requirements. Lightweight mod packs need 1-2GB extra, while heavy mod packs can require 4-8GB or more additional RAM.
