How much RAM does a Prominence 2 server need?
A Prominence 2 server needs about 12 GB of RAM for five players, 17 GB for ten and 27 GB for twenty. The pack has more than 400 mods, but it runs on Fabric and ships Lithium, ModernFix and FerriteCore to keep memory down, so we count it with the packs of around 200 mods: about 7 GB before anyone joins and about 1 GB for every player after that. Boss fights are where it peaks. Spell effects, summoned mobs and a freshly generated dungeon all land on the server at once when a party pushes into new land.
| 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, which counted 443 mods in the newest release, puts Prominence II at 7 GB for up to three players, 9 GB for four to eight and 12 GB for larger groups. Those figures fit a party that stays together. Ours leave room for the evenings when everyone goes their own way and the server has to keep four corners of the map loaded.
Prominence 2 server requirements
A Prominence 2 server needs Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1, Java 17, a fast processor core and quick storage. Java is set for you: the hosts we compare pick it from the Minecraft version, and a one-click install switches the server to Fabric as well. The core matters in fights. Bosses of Mass Destruction, the class spells and Better Combat all run on the server's main thread, twenty times a second. Storage matters when you explore, because When Dungeons Arise and the YUNG's structure mods make every new chunk heavier to build and save.
How to make a Prominence 2 server
A Prominence 2 server takes four steps once you know how many players you have:
- Order a plan with 12 GB or more for up to five players, with Fabric as the server software, or let the modpack installer set it.
- Install the pack from the panel. Astroworld Hosting and Lodehost install CurseForge modpacks in one click, and Cheapest Minecraft Hosting from its Mods tab. Choose the exact version your party has installed.
- Start the server and wait for Done. The first start loads a few hundred mods and builds the spawn area, which takes a few minutes.
- Let your party join with the same version of Prominence II from the CurseForge app.
Prominence 2 server pack: download and setup
The Prominence 2 server pack is the set of server files the pack team uploads next to most releases on CurseForge, with the configs and without the mods that only run on a player's computer. Prominence II has more of those client-side mods than most packs, so do not copy your own mods folder to the server. A one-click installer downloads the server pack for the version you pick.
Now and then a new release appears before its server pack does. You then have two choices: install the release before it, which has a server pack, and update once the new one is out, or install the new release and upload the config folder from your own copy of the pack. Either way, every player has to be on the same version as the server.
How to make a Prominence 2 server run better
- Pre-generate the world with Chunky before the party sets out, so dungeons are built while nobody plays.
- Keep the view distance at 8 to 10 chunks. Every extra chunk around a player carries structures and mobs.
- Restart once a day. A nightly restart clears memory that a long session of fights slowly fills.
- Use the land claims. Open Parties and Claims keeps a party's base safe and lets friends share progress.
