How much RAM does a SkyFactory 4 server need?

Here's SkyFactory's open secret: the void world makes it one of the lightest modded servers you can run. There's no terrain to generate — just islands your group builds — so 4 GB (Stone) genuinely carries a small group, and Iron (6 GB) adds comfortable headroom for bigger trees of automation. It's the cheapest way to run a really good modded server.

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 SkyFactory 4 server

Islands, not continentsWith no world generation, SkyFactory's load is almost entirely your machines. If tick times ever climb, the culprit is a contraption, not the world — the console's timings tools will point at it.
Use prestige deliberatelySF4's optional prestige mode gates progression across worlds. Decide with your group before opening the server — it changes the whole arc, and it's a world setting, not a per-player one.
A daily restart never hurtsIt's a 1.12.2 pack: schedule a daily restart from the dashboard for long-term smoothness.
Questions

SkyFactory 4 hosting FAQ

Which plan runs SkyFactory 4?

Stone (4 GB) handles a small island crew; Iron (6 GB) gives automation-heavy groups headroom. The order picker recommends based on the pack's requirements.

Can each player have their own island?

Yes — SF4 supports separate islands and teams. Players can join forces or build solo, all on one server.

Why is SkyFactory so much lighter than other packs?

No terrain generation. The void world skips the single heaviest thing a Minecraft server does, leaving only your builds and machines as load.

Can I import our old SkyFactory world?

Yes — upload it through the dashboard file tools and point the server at the save. Keep your original copy until you've checked everything in game.
