Minecraft Realms Specs
< Server Requirements
Thanks for the A2A! So I am the head admin and co-owner of my server. The reason behind the “co-owner” is that I am not a great programmer and I know very little about computer specifications. We offer a free Minecraft Realms trial to players who have not previously had a Realm. Trials are available for Realms on Minecraft for consoles, mobile, Windows 10 & VR and for Minecraft: Java Edition. Affordable Minecraft Server Hosting from $1/GB, Instant setup with Discord support and a 72 hour refund policy!
It should be noted that these suggestion presume default settings in server.conf - i.e., a Draw Distance no higher than 10, and is also based on a new world; the bigger the world gets, especially if there's advanced redstone circuitry at work, the requirements - especially the RAM, or in the case of lots of redstone or mobs (in e.g. grinders), the CPU - increase significantly (to the point where a major world with several camps, redstone machinery, grinders, etcetera can easily more than double the requirements).

Windows[edit]
User Grade[edit]
- 1 player ~ 50-100 MB of RAM - on its own, but in practicality, it will always pull more, if it's e.g. in different chunks, moving through chunks very quickly (e.g. on a boat, via rail or flying with elytra); the player object as such won't use/drain more RAM, but it will effectively lead to significantly more RAM being used by the server if it's doing anything besides standing perfectly still somewhere.
Win NT/2K/XP[edit]
- Note that these requirements are for the server only you will need to allocate more resources to the OS!
| Requirements | Players | CPU | RAM | HDD | WAN Up | WAN Down | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 1-2 | Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and better | 1 GB | 2 GB empty space (5GB if you are doing frequent backups) | 3 Mbit/s | 2 Mbit/s | (Minecraft Servers can barely, but still run on a 1Mbit/s upload connection. The server will miss ticks with this hardware-configuration.) |
