How much RAM does a Create: Astral server need?

Create packs are light on world generation and heavy on contraptions: what costs a server is a factory with hundreds of moving parts, not the map. 4 GB (Stone) runs Astral fine for a small group's early chapters; 6 GB (Iron) is the sweet spot once big factories and planet chunks stay loaded. Beyond that it's tick time rather than memory — contraptions run on the server thread, so a plan's RAM matters less than keeping factories compact. 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: Astral server

Contraptions cost ticks, not RAMA mixer farm with fifty belts is cheap in memory and expensive in tick time. If the server stutters, look for the biggest moving contraption before buying more RAM.
Chunk-load only what must runFactories only run in loaded chunks. Load the ones producing overnight and leave the rest to sleep — every force-loaded chunk with contraptions in it ticks forever.

Questions

Create: Astral hosting FAQ

Create: Astral or Create: Above and Beyond?

Astral is Fabric 1.18.2 with planets and five-plus chapters of quests, still updated. Above and Beyond is the official Forge 1.16.5 challenge pack — finished, stable, and lighter. We host both — see /minecraft-modpacks/create-above-and-beyond.

Which plan should I pick?

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

Do my friends need Create: Astral installed?

Yes — everyone installs the same version through the CurseForge app. Vanilla Minecraft can't join a modded server.

Can I bring an existing world?

Yes. Upload it through the dashboard file tools on a server running the same pack version, and keep a copy of the original until you've verified it in game.
