Sizing

How much RAM does a Create: Above and Beyond server need?

Above and Beyond is the official Create challenge pack, and it's from the 1.16.5 era, so its memory needs are modest: 4 GB (Stone) is genuinely enough for a small group, and 6 GB (Iron) leaves room when the factory sprawls and every chapter's machines run at once. Don't over-buy — oversized heaps on 1.16 mostly buy longer garbage-collection pauses. The order picker reads the pack's minimum and highlights a safe plan.

On HostGoblin that starts at $13.99/mo with the Stone plan (4 GB RAM) — and resizing later keeps your world.

Running it well

A smooth Create: Above and Beyond server

Finished, not abandonedThe last release, 1.3, dates from 2021. That's a feature: recipes and progression won't change under you mid-playthrough, and the whole crew stays on one version for the whole run.

Java is handled1.16.5 wants Java 8, not the Java 17 or 21 newer packs use. The goblin picks the right Java for the version automatically — nothing to configure.

Keep factories compactContraptions tick on the server thread. A tight, chunk-loaded factory costs far less than the same machines spread across a hillside.

Questions

Create: Above and Beyond hosting FAQ

Which plan should I pick?

Stone (4 GB) for two or three friends, Iron (6 GB) for a group with big factories. The picker blocks plans below the pack's minimum.

Create: Above and Beyond or Create: Astral?

Above and Beyond is the finished official challenge pack on Forge 1.16.5; Astral is the still-updated Fabric 1.18.2 pack with planets. We host both — see /minecraft-modpacks/create-astral.

Do my friends need the pack installed?

Yes — everyone installs the same version through the CurseForge app. The join link on your dashboard spells out exactly what to grab.

Can I bring an existing world?

Yes. Upload it through the dashboard file tools, point the server at that save, and keep a copy of the original until you've verified it in game.
