How much RAM does a DeceasedCraft server need?
A DeceasedCraft server needs about 12 GB of RAM for five players, 17 GB for ten and 27 GB for twenty. With about 300 mods it fits our rule for packs of that size: about 7 GB before anyone joins and about 1 GB per player. Two things set the size: the city and the crowd. The Lost Cities builds the world as streets and skyscrapers full of blocks, and a horde is dozens of creatures moving at once.
| Players online | RAM needed | Plan size | Lowest price for that size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 to 5 | 12 GB | 12 GB | CheapestMinecraftHosting Builder, €9.60 a month in Poland (Warsaw) |
| 6 to 10 | 17 GB | 24 GB | CheapestMinecraftHosting Crew, €19.20 a month in Poland (Warsaw) |
| 11 to 20 | 27 GB | 32 GB | CheapestMinecraftHosting Guild, €25.60 a month in Poland (Warsaw) |
Astroworld Hosting puts DeceasedCraft at 7 GB for up to three players, 9 GB for four to eight and 12 GB for larger groups. A firefight in a dense city block is the busiest moment the server sees, because every shot draws more of the infected, so leave room above your everyday use.
DeceasedCraft server requirements
A DeceasedCraft server needs Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, Java 17, a fast processor core and enough disk space. Java is set for you by the hosts we compare. The core runs the hordes: Zombie Awareness and The Hordes make the dead hear gunshots and arrive in waves, and all of that AI is worked out on the main thread. The disk matters more than in most packs, because a city chunk holds far more blocks than a field, and explored areas grow the world folder fast. Keep that in mind when you choose a plan and when you keep old backups.
How to make a DeceasedCraft server
A DeceasedCraft server takes four steps, and pre-generating the city is the one most people skip:
- Order a plan with 12 GB or more for up to five players, with Forge as the server software.
- Install DeceasedCraft from the panel. Astroworld Hosting and Lodehost install CurseForge modpacks in one click, and Cheapest Minecraft Hosting from its Mods tab.
- Pre-generate the city with Chunky from the console before anyone joins, because a city chunk takes longer to build than open land.
- Let your group join with the same version from the CurseForge app.
DeceasedCraft server pack and updates
The DeceasedCraft server pack is published on CurseForge with each release, configs included, and a one-click installer unpacks it for the version you pick. The pack is still in beta and gets regular updates, and a beta update can change a lot at once. Back up before every update and keep the server on the version your players have until everyone has moved.
