Which CPU for the MC Server
hi currently I have an Oracle Free Tier Server.
I want that it can handle the Modpack All the Mods 10 with max 10 players at a time.
I have an 5700g with 16gb ram and 500gb nvme laying around. Will this be suitable?
Also which other CPUs are Suitable for a Server like this?
thank you

I'm pretty sure that all the mods 10 and 10 players online is no easy task, if you have a 5700g laying around, just try and see how it would run, but having a better cpu would for sure help
5700g should be fine probably but if you’re looking for a better cpu you want one with a good singlethread preferably above 3.2k MOps/sec
e.g. Ryzen 7600
Ok ill try it. Wht CPUs can you recommend?
Thank you any other CPUs too?
Yeah I read minecraft really doenst need a lot of cores
the semi new Ryzen series are generally good
5600x for example, 7950x and 9000 series are fantastic
for 10 players a 7600 or similar is probably fine, 7950x if you want no compromise
I recommend ryzen 9000 or 7000 series. If you are looking to buy game servers I wouldn't pick one that runs on a ryzen 5, at least 7 or 9, as they have a lot more threads
Comes down to your budget :JoeCool:
hey zezo
are you going to be self hosting with one of these CPUs?
But it doesnt need that much cores right? my oracle server has 4 cores and if i look in spark benchmark cpu is 100% utilised but if i look in the server terminal its like 40%
so
Minecraft is singlethreaded but some things are async
e.g. mods can do async stuff and the mc server itself offloads some things such as netty to other threads
Yes
about your cpu utilisation
I’ve always found that spark is a bit weird when it comes to those stats
but generally
oracle cloud’s CPUs suck
would honestly recommend udon shared hosting but if you’re willing to invest then go for it
if this is a public server you have to worry about ddos protection etc
I have the option betweem amd, intel, ampere and a 4th one there
How much better will a 7700 or 7900 be than a 7500f for this?
the AMD and intel cpus on oracle aren’t great and you get barely any resources on the free tier and unless you’re Jeff bezos rich (exaggeration but tldr oracle is very expensive) oracle paid is not worth it
1 second
Doesnt the router have this protection?
technically your ISP would yes however residential ISPs do NOT like ddos attacks and can cut off your entire network
you can’t guarantee they have ddos protection
and you can’t guarantee they won’t just beam the fuck out of your network
So a 7500f is a pretty damn good cpu @ 3.8k MOps/Sec (very very good)
A 7700 is about 200 MOps faster than a 7500f
A 7900 is ~300 MOps faster than a 7500f
most ISPs typically cut off your internet for a while
I would recommend you read your internet contract / contact your ISP
many ISPs will ‘blackhole’ you
however it strongly depends on ISP & country
Just depends how you are hosting the server :sad:
If you own the machine than it's fine (but if you need to host more servers on the future umm.. I wouldn't cheap out on the cpu)
one way to get around it would be to tunnel traffic to your self hosted mc server e.g. with wireguard
players connect to a ddos protected cheap VPS e.g. from OVH which has decent protection
so malicious traffic is filtered out before it even reaches your residential network
you would have to of course ensure you haven’t port forwarded the mc server port on your home network though, because all mc server traffic will go through the tunnel
(I think)
@MrDadone you know more than me with this shit
Home hosting a server and making the traffic go thru a ddos protected server would probably be fine.
yeah
Still since you had that 5700g laying around try and see if it runs, if it doesn't run well, consider either upgeading the cpu (you would be forced to change ram and motherboard too due to am5) snd get a 7000 series, or rent one, now since you mentioned 16gb of ram, you might not even need a dedi and all of the effort that it requires to make it run, try game servers :es_pepeyessir: ( also i wouldn't try using vps to run the server as the performance would be uhh.. well they aren't made in with the goal to run game servers, more like web applications and such.)
These are my suggestions
^^ yeah definitely try out the 5700g first
Since he has already an 5700g and its just 16gb of ram (probably not many servers) having more threads might not help in this case, but yea a 5900x is cheap now
