Self-host or aternos?
would it be better to self-host a mc server (1.16.5 paper) on a machine with:
- 4 gb ram
- intel hd 620 (dont think this matters too much)
- intel i3 8145u
or to create a server via aternos (2.6 gb of ram, no video card)?
if i self-host its going to be on windows 10 bcs i hate linux

you're not giving it a lot of memory to work with, but I guess it'd work for a couple players. your mileage may vary depending on what you're doing.
You'd have to leave some leftover memory for the OS (and Windows isn't thin & light), so you'd maybe be able to allocate 2GB.. which is not a lot at all.
would it work for 3-4 players? would i get 15+ tps?
you'd just have to try it to figure out how good or bad it would be.
but I suspect it's not going to be great.
If it's well optimized I'm sure it will
oof, would the performance be better with 1.12.2 + a couple of qol forge mods?
basically if you're running very recent versions (1.20.x) then you're just gonna have a bad time.
would papermc qualify for "well optimized"?
older versions will help things out a bit, but using Forge is also going to add more overhead.
Yes, but you should touch the config files
Paper Chan hideout
Paper chan's Little Guide to Minecraft Server Optimization!
The most complete Minecraft server optimization guide with everything you need to know about running a Paper Minecraft server plus Paper Chan!
There you have everything you need to know
vanilla clients cannot run on forge servers if thats what you thought
no i know how mods work
Video card does absolutely nothing for a minecraft server btw
I suggest to get that free server hosting from oracle.
You will have to enter some billing info but you wont get charged.
U can get like 20gb, but u will have to know how to work with linux.
Minecraft servers dont run well on windows cuz how much permance windows takes from your minecraft server
Do not selfhost in your machine
You only have 4 gb of ram
And the CPU is not appropriate for such task
There's an always free host rn that's called fps.ms
It's like aternos but you get a decent CPU

^ if u can't get Oracle cloud, this is a pretty good alternative
You should be able to even run 1.20.1 there
As soon as you don't plan to get lots of plugins
I mean, I understand you want a free hosting. But even just a hosting that costs maybe 5 dollars a month is going to be soooo much better.
Yeah for example Enviromc budget 5$/month
Unmetered storage for pregen, 2 threads, 5 gb of ram
Databases
Backups
Or like pebblehost, they start at 1 dollars per gb. Just get like a 4gb server if its just for you and your friends.
yeah id go for that
not pebblehost
Doesn't pebble forces you to not pregen?
Or I'm capping
whats pregen?
Preloading the world
oh i wouldnt know sorry
Idk if it was pebble or another host
But like, free hostings are really crappy. They might sound good, or even are good. But at some moment your server will just be gone without them notifing you.
And no webmaps policy
Oracle cloud experience
But if you just pay only a few dollars, they legally cant take away your server
unless your doing some crazy shit thats not allowed
oh btw @1who¡ssus?, do you know anything about the sparky plugin?
Spark
?
I know lots of the basic stuff
When running /spark profiler open
i get this a about 3 seconds later
Make another #questions thread
And share your server logs
dont have a credit card
Honestly if you don't have a credit card, your computer sucks, and your parents don't want you playing games... Why go through this effort?
Hell, how did you even buy minecraft
my friend gave me a key
if you dont have anything valuable to say why go through the effort of sending a message here?
Just because it sucks to hear it doesn't mean it is wrong.
- you have nothing valuable to say (presumably because of your lack of knowledge)
- you've been saying nothing that makes sense so far
- yet you wish to continue typing new messages that help nobody
it may suck to hear this but that doesnt mean it is wrong
Alright bye
