CurseForge has turned my computer into a potato
I dowloaded the curseforge app, downloaded pixelmon, played a little bit, then downloaded a bigger modpack. The modpack stopped halfway through and said something along the lines of "timed out," and now my computer can barely do anything besides open files. Youtube can't play, websites aren't loading, it's like my computer cannot run the internet. But I know its not a network problem because my other devices are working fine. I uninstalled curseforge and any other remaining curseforge background files but nothing is working. I've restarted my computer like 6 times and it's basically a pile of bricks, the fan isn't even going crazy. Did I just ruin my computer? I don't know what to do and I'm having a really bad time. I even uninstalled minecraft but my computer can't even load minecraft . net anymore. I genuinely don't know what's going on and I really hope I didn't just ruin my computer.

Just made this Minecraft Server RAM Calculator, it tells you exactly how much RAM you need + shows hosting options too
Hey everyone 👋
I've been running Minecraft servers for a while now — modded, vanilla, Fabric, Forge - you name it. One of the constant struggles was determining how much RAM a Minecraft server really requires.
So I made a free tool to assist in that, and I'm finally pleased to share it🎉
https://ramformc.github.io/minecraft-ram-calculator/
Just enter:
Your server type (Vanilla / Fabric / Forge / etc.)
Number of mods
Whether they’re simple (like JEI) or complex (like tech/dimensional mods)
Player count, shaders, and chunk-heavy/redstone behavior
It crunches those numbers and gives you a RAM range, a detailed breakdown of where that RAM goes (mods, players, base), and even links you to hosting providers that actually fit your needs — without overpaying for overkill specs.
It also shows real hosting plans from providers like ApexHosting, ScalaCube, FalixNodes, GGServers, etc. You can sort by RAM, price, rating, or $/GB and there’s a little flag if the plan is likely overkill or underpowered based on your config.
Honestly, I just wanted a tool that didn't guess wildly and gave real-world server admins something a bit more trustworthy than “2GB per X players.”
Would love any feedback, or feature ideas if you try it out 🙌
Hope it helps someone here avoid those mysterious lag spikes and unnecessary upgrade costs!
