What can you run on a 24 GB Minecraft server?

  • A large modpack for about 16 players

    Enough for a modded community on a big modpack.

  • A modded server for about 38 players

    A Fabric or Forge server with a hand-picked set of mods.

  • A public server with about 44 players

    Paper with plugins, as long as the processor keeps up with everyone online.

At 24 GB the processor, not the memory, decides how many players a plugin server holds, so compare the threads before the gigabytes.

What does a 24 GB Minecraft server cost?

A 24 GB Minecraft server costs from €19.20 a month, for CheapestMinecraftHosting Crew in Poland. Lodehost Premium and Astroworld Premium both cost €23.95 when you pay monthly, about one euro per gigabyte, with daily backups included. At Astroworld Hosting this is an end-of-line price: the larger sizes of its standard line are being retired, and until then they cost half their regular price.

The Performance line roughly doubles the price at this size, to €46.95 a month for Astroworld Premium Performance. For a heavy tech modpack with ten players online, you pay for the faster cores and Enterprise NVMe storage, and they are worth it. For a big world with light mods, you do not need them.

For 6 to 10 players with a large modpack on Java in Poland (Warsaw), the finder recommends Astroworld Hosting Premium Performance: 24 GB, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, DDR5, for €46.95 a month when you pay monthly. As a new customer you pay €18.78 a month for the first 3 months, 60% off. The best plans at the other two hosts are Lodehost Premium at €46.95 and CheapestMinecraftHosting Crew at €19.20.

How many players fit on a 24 GB Minecraft server?

A 24 GB Minecraft server holds about 66 players online on vanilla, 44 with plugins, 38 on a modded server and 16 on a large modpack. The table shows how many players fit on 24 GB of RAM for each kind of server, by the same rule the finder uses. On plugin servers this big, the processor sets the real limit.

Is 24 GB too much RAM for a Minecraft server?

24 GB is too much RAM for most small Minecraft servers: only large modpacks and public servers use all of it. Extra memory that the server never uses does not make it faster, and a Java server with far more memory than it needs can even pause a little longer when it cleans up. So choose 24 GB for the players you actually have online: about 16 on a large modpack, or a public plugin server with about 44. For a plugin server with twenty players, 12 GB is enough. Twenty players with plugins need about 12 GB by our rule, so a 24 GB plan would leave half of its memory unused.

Before you buy a 24 GB Minecraft server

  1. Check the end-of-line price

    Astroworld Hosting sells its standard 24 GB plan at half price while that size is retired, and Lodehost charges the same.

  2. Compare the Performance line

    It roughly doubles the price at 24 GB. That pays off for heavy tech modpacks, not for light mods.

  3. Do not buy unused RAM

    A plugin server with twenty players needs about 12 GB, so 24 GB is for modpacks and public servers.
