Minecraft · 16GB dedicated RAM · Mumbai, Noida, Singapore, Dhaka

A 16GB Minecraft server — the public-network tier.

60+ player communities, 400+ mod packs, or a network hub that doesn’t want to share. The biggest single-instance tier we sell.

Who actually needs 16GB.

16GB is for servers that have stopped being a world and started being a platform. Public SMPs with 60+ concurrents, 400+ mod packs that scare smaller tiers, or a lobby-plus-worlds setup where you’d rather run one big JVM than manage three small ones.

At this size the bottleneck shifts: RAM stops being the constraint and single-thread CPU speed takes over. That’s why we sell dedicated vCPU with it — a 16GB allocation on a contended core still hitches when 80 people are online.

Worth knowing before you buy this: most networks past ~100 concurrent players scale better horizontally — a Velocity proxy plus several 8GB worlds — than vertically on one giant instance. Our docs cover the proxy setup, or ask on Discord and we’ll tell you honestly which shape fits.

✓ 16GB handles

  • ✓ Public servers: 60–100+ concurrent players on Paper
  • ✓ The biggest modpacks — 400+ mods, GregTech-scale packs
  • ✓ Lobby + 2–3 world servers on one instance
  • ✓ Events/streams — seasonal surges where headroom matters
  • ✓ Heavy pre-generation and dynmap on very large maps

✗ Go bigger when…

  • • Past ~100 concurrents — go horizontal: Velocity proxy + multiple 8GB instances
  • • A multi-region network — deploy per-region game plans instead
  • • If you just run vanilla for friends — you’re over-buying; 2–4GB is the tier

16GB Minecraft FAQ

What people ask before buying the 16GB tier.

Ask on Discord ↗
60–100+ on well-tuned Paper. Past that, scale horizontally — Velocity proxy plus multiple instances beats one giant JVM.
Yes — it covers 400+ mod packs including the GregTech-scale outliers that break 8GB.
One community → 16GB. Multiple game modes/worlds → Velocity + separate instances is the better architecture.
Only if RAM was the bottleneck — past ~12GB the limiter is usually single-thread CPU or plugin inefficiency, which more RAM won’t fix.
Yes — Mumbai, Noida and Singapore regions carry always-on inline mitigation; public servers are exactly who it’s for.
Yes — resize down to any smaller tier in place, same world and IP.
