Hi! we have been running a server with all our friends with fluctuating player amounts - Just wondering if its possible to lower the ram without changing the plan to see if it fixes our lag? thanks

I'd suggest running a spark profiler first when you experience lag issues as it is a great tool to diagnose where lag issues are potentially coming from

Spark
How to provide a Spark sampler.

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Download Spark: https://modrinth.com/mod/spark/versions
  3. Upload the mod to your server:
    Filemanager > mods (for modded servers)
    or Filemanager > plugins (for plugin based servers)
    (Just drag & drop the file)
  4. Start the server.
  5. Use the command /spark sampler
  6. Wait 10-15 minutes.
  7. Use the command /spark sampler --stop

Otherwise, you'd have to make a support ticket. They might be able to set the max ram lower in the startup commands (something you cannot edit yourself) but I don't know if that's something they actually do or not, you'll have to ask them

thank you for the quick reply! just curious - we have a server with 6 - 12 players that fluctuates with an avg of 8 on at most times. How much ram is usually suggested? we are playing a cobblemon modpack with 160 mods and have some automatic farms and stuff

#

we currently have 16gb ram for 5 players

#

is this too much

16gb is prolly not needed

Do you have the same modpack as OP?

Most of the Cobblemon packs recommend 6GB minimum. Some won't even start at 2GB.

i use paper

#

and im pretty sure i dont have the minimum req but it still works soo

# shy kelp probably not

Modpacks have wildly different requirements than Paper. Some will not run with a simulation distance over 10 or player count over 8 - hard stop.
