HI. I have recently started hosting a server on my other pc. I just read that about 500 mb of ram should be dedicated per player on the server. I was wondering where u can check how much ram is assigned and how to change it.
I downloaded the server files off the launcher if that makes a difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance :D
 
Maybe on a busy server with a lot of infrastructure, chunkloaders and players all over the place thats true, but on a fresh world where you are getting started with nothing its overkill.

What mod pack and how many players?

Ultimate and there's only four of us
 
Id fire it up with 1 or 2 gb and see how it goes, would of thought 1gb would be fine at least early game.

I guess the other questions is, are you running your client on the same PC as you are running the server on, because that will have a big impact.

If there are 4 of you, get everyone to chip in and rent a nice virtual server from someone, a 2gb should treat you well. Unless you are all on the same LAN i guess, then you would be better with something local obviously.

That's all well and good but doesn't answer my question. I wanted to find out where to allocate more ram or where to check how much is already allocated.
We will definitely be renting a server pretty soon though
 
Ah ok, if you look in the ServerStart.bat file (ServerStart.sh on linux) you will see something like:

java -Xms512M -Xmx1G -jar ftbserver.jar

This makes the server start with 512mb of ram, with the option to expand up to 1gig if it needs to. Just change the -Xmx1G to XmX2G if you want to give it up to 2gig to use.
