Sizing

How much RAM does an RLCraft server need?

RLCraft runs on 5–6 GB, but 8 GB (the Diamond plan) is the sweet spot for a group — its custom world generation is the real load, and extra headroom keeps frontier exploration smooth. Going far beyond 8–10 GB rarely helps on Minecraft 1.12.2; garbage-collection pauses grow with oversized heaps. The order picker reads the pack's requirements and recommends a safe tier automatically.

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 RLCraft server

Schedule a daily restartLike most 1.12.2 packs, RLCraft's memory use creeps up over long uptimes. A daily restart from your dashboard's Schedules tab keeps it snappy — set it for an hour nobody plays.
Keep view distance modestWorld generation is RLCraft's heaviest work. A view distance of 6–8 keeps exploration-day lag in check without feeling cramped.
The configs are yoursDragon fire griefing, spawn rates, difficulty — RLCraft exposes an enormous amount in its config files, and you have full file access from the dashboard to tune all of it.
Questions

RLCraft hosting FAQ

Which plan should I pick for RLCraft?

Diamond (8 GB) is the recommended home for a group. The order picker reads the pack's minimum and blocks plans that are too small, so you can't accidentally undersize it.

Do my friends need anything special to join?

Yes — everyone needs RLCraft installed through the CurseForge launcher, on the same pack version as the server. Vanilla Minecraft clients can't join a modded server.

Can I bring an existing RLCraft world?

Yes. Upload the world 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.

Why does my server pause when players explore far out?

New chunk generation is RLCraft's single heaviest operation — its custom world gen does far more work than vanilla. It settles down once your group's usual territory has been generated.
