Specs for minecraft server

[Creed1]

Hello.

 

I am looking at building a nice modded minecraft server for around 15-20 players. I will be running 100mods-ish. I need some good parts to run that, so I am looking for suggestions. I have a budget of $575USD and I already have a case, hdd, gpu and cooler. I am looking to get an intel based processor. And if there is extra money, possibly an ssd???

 

Thanks,

Honestly, you should get an ssd before anything. I highly suggest you rent a dedicated machine off ovh.com. It includes high DDoS protection and very fast support.

GPU is un-neccesary. MC servers mostly use the CPU, and GPU is left unneeded. 

 

Save your power.

Oh god, 100 mods/plugins on just one server. Would love to hear the outcome of that if you do that.

 

Instead of throwing it all onto one server, buy small multiple servers and bungeecord them all.

I knew that, I just have a spare 970 gtx. Probably not going to use it though

i spent about $150 and got a i5 2400 pc

i host a minecraft server with around 10 people 

and a ark survival evolved server at the same time

so you dont need much for a minecraft server

but 

you will need very good internet to have a server capable of having 20 people

If you are running this server off of a home internet connection then you might have issues with network speeds, you might be better off renting a server from a company with better internet.

Ok, I have decided to change the player limit to 5-10. Maybe 75 Mods

you got the right amount of dedidated ram? (I'm sorry I had to.) 

 

but I think a SSD would really, REALLY, be best for you. also, what GPU? I'm no pro with servers, but I'm fairly certain you won't need such a powerful one for a server. (So if you do have one like a 970 or something, you could sell that, and get a used 750ti or 760? if someone could give their opinion on this, that'd be great. This is just me brainstorming.)

 

on to what you actually asked, you're running a server. That's going to be running minecraft with a shit load of mods. You'll need a good CPU, those mods will be tough on it and minecraft is actually pretty hard CPUs sometimes. 

 

like I said, I'm not a expert with servers but my 2 cents is to get a i7 or a Xeon. currently in school, so I'll give it some research once I get home and get back to you
