Is 2gb RAM enough for a SMP?

[slim bridge]

i have a SMP with 4 players only and we usually record the gameplay for YouTube. The reason I need host is that I want the SMP run 24/7 and anyone could join anytime and record, also this SMP only have 4 plugins (Skin restorer, Graves, Lifesteal and ReviveMe), so I want to ask is 2gb enough for our SMP?

[frigid fractal]

great

ur looking at 7 gb

[slim bridge]

isn't 2gb enough?

[frigid fractal]

it was never enought since 1.13+

ok maybe you can get by with paper

but it's really bad

esp if this is for youtube...

you don't want lag right

this is budget btw

Can confirm that you'll definitely want at least 6GB of RAM, less than that and you'll start to run into issues even if you optimize a bit. Modern versions simply just need a lot of RAM to work with

[slim bridge]

oh alr thanks!

[frigid fractal]

np

pebble has great budget pricing

a budget server is prob good for you

[slim bridge]

yeah that's why I choosed it

[frigid fractal]

yea. It's one of the lowest in the market. But you still need to spend your money lol

[slim bridge]

yeah lol but atleast it's worth spending ig

[frigid fractal]

you can try 5 or 6 gb and upgrade if lag

[frigid fractal]

shouldnt be a big issue if this is for youtube

[slim bridge]

okok alr thanks alot for the help

[slim bridge]

yeah it's for YT

[frigid fractal]

you should be fine with 5-6 gb and upgrade if needed

[slim bridge]
