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 == === User Grade === * 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 ==== *Note that these requirements are for the '''server only'''; you will need to allocate more resources to the OS! {|class="wikitable sortable collapsible" data-description="System requirements" ! class="unsortable" width="75" | Requirements ! class="unsortable" width="25" | Players ! class="unsortable" width="200" | CPU ! class="unsortable" width="65" | RAM ! class="unsortable" width="390" | HDD ! class="unsortable" width="130" | WAN Up ! class="unsortable" width="130" | WAN Down ! class="unsortable collapse-button" width="390" | Notes |- !
