It should be noted that these suggestion presume default settings in server.conf - i.e., a Draw Distance no higher than 10, and is also based on a new world; the bigger the world gets, especially if there's advanced redstone circuitry at work, the requirements - especially the RAM, or in the case of lots of redstone or mobs (in e.g. grinders), the CPU - increase significantly (to the point where a major world with several camps, redstone machinery, grinders, etcetera can easily more than double the requirements).
Windows[edit]
User Grade[edit]
- 1 player ~ 50-100 MB of RAM - on its own, but in practicality, it will always pull more, if it's e.g. in different chunks, moving through chunks very quickly (e.g. on a boat, via rail or flying with elytra); the player object as such won't use/drain more RAM, but it will effectively lead to significantly more RAM being used by the server if it's doing anything besides standing perfectly still somewhere.
Win NT/2K/XP[edit]
- Note that these requirements are for the server only you will need to allocate more resources to the OS!
| Requirements | Players | CPU | RAM | HDD | WAN Up | WAN Down | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 1-2 | Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and better |
1 GB | 2 GB empty space (5GB if you are doing frequent backups) |
3 Mbit/s | 2 Mbit/s | (Minecraft Servers can barely, but still run on a 1Mbit/s upload connection. The server will miss ticks with this hardware-configuration.) |
| Acceptable | 3-5 | Intel Core-Based CPUs or AMD K8-Based CPUs and better |
3 GB | 10 GB empty space | 6 Mbit/s | 3 Mbit/s | |
| Recommended | 5-7 | Intel Core-Based CPUs or AMD K8-Based CPUs at 3.4GHz or higher |
5 GB | 18 GB empty space | 8 Mbit/s | 4 Mbit/s | |

6 GB | 25 GB empty space | 14 Mbit/s | 7 Mbit/s | |
| Optimal | 9+ | Intel Nehalem-Based CPUs or AMD K10-Based CPUs at 3.6GHz or higher |
8 GB | 35 GB empty space | 30 Mbit/s | 15 Mbit/s | A Mechanical Disk or a SLC SSD with high Read/Write speeds is recommended. |
