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!
