Official requirements
Only plans with at least 4 GB RAM are listed. The figures below come from each project's own documentation.
| Software | Minimum RAM | Recommended RAM | CPU | Disk | Runs on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minecraft Java Edition server | 1 GB | 2 GB | not published | 2 GB | Linux, Windows |
Minecraft Java Edition server: Mojang's own page gives no numbers, only that you need a capable machine, a compatible Java runtime and possibly port 25565 forwarded. The Minecraft Wiki suggests at least 1 GB RAM allocated to the server for 1-4 players, 2 GB for 5-10 and 4 GB for 10+, roughly 50-100 MB per player, a CPU with strong single-core speed (it typically uses at most three cores), and about 2 GB of storage at the low end of its dedicated-server tables. It warns that large worlds, heavy redstone and mob farms can more than double these needs, and that 1.20.5+ requires Java 21.
