Going to host an event with ~100 players in 1.20.1, tips?
Hey everyone! I will soon be hosting a DeathSwap event with an expected amount of ~100 players (we will be capping the players in most likelyness)
First of all, is a Xeon E5-2678 v3 @ 2.50 GHz (8 cores) with 12GB of 2400MHz RAM going to be enough? (We will be pre-loading the chunks the day before the event)
Also, what server would be recommended? In the past I used Paper, but I've seen some people recommend Purpur and since it's a fork I would imagine that it improves performance, right?
Thank you in advance!
Note: This isn't my first time hosting an event with this players all at once, but I haven't done anything like this for a good while so I was wondering about what changed.

no
that cpu wont handle it
use pufferfish not purpur
that cpu is 9 years old -.-
Thank you! Do you know by any chance about what they improve upon?
purpur is just pufferfish with extra config options
but u very likely wont use em
Well it's still pretty nice CPU :)
Anyhow, in that case I'd have to go with an extenal host. What would you recommend?
The fact is that this server will be used for 1 to 3 hours, so spending for an entire month would be a waste.
DigitalOcean, Google Cloud and AWS all allow you to pay hourly instead of monthly fees, but I don't know if they'd be the right choice
not for mc its not.
also no, all those 3 are not made with a mc like workload in mind
their cpus are gonna be very bad for mc server
So what would you recommend?
a trusted mc host with probably a r9 5950x
#marketplace if u need actual host recommendations
Gotchu, would 8gb or ram be enough with that processor?
I'd go 12
But I'd recommend u to go to #marketplace

better than purpur? doesnt purpur carry the optimizations of airplane and pufferfish?
yes but the configs are bloat if u dont use it
+ its not as stable
+ imo they dont do enough testing before releasing builds
i do use the anti-xray thing but its not THAT bloated
if you take the effort going through the configs
the antixray is from paper..
-.-
purpur no more
would you recommend exaroton in that case?
god god god god god god god no
get that shite out
last time i said its bad a got attacked here :]
you were part of it (i think)
why the change in mind?
i never said exaroton was good
literally never.
Noone here has ever said its good unless they are full of crap
Heavily agreed, finally :')
a person of taste i see
wait a darn sec....
730$/1Gb/Month
Wth??
Damn
Isn't that essentially the paid version of aternos, as well?... Lol
Ya.. lmao
Dang.... Couple years ago, it was a lot less, and by a lot I mean hundreds of dollars less, lmao
