This section addresses key questions regarding the hosting of Minecraft servers. Gain insights into how server units function, including the significance of vCores and RAM. Understand whether additional vCores are necessary when expanding your player base and if a higher specifications plan is advisable for managing a large server. Additionally, we explore the critical role of RAM in ensuring optimal server performance.

How do server units work in hosting Minecraft servers?
In Minecraft server hosting, there are three key factors to consider: CPU or vCores, RAM capacity, and storage. These components work together to ensure that you and your players can connect seamlessly in a Minecraft world. When hosting a server for a large player base, these factors become essential.
First, a fast CPU is crucial. You can evaluate its performance by checking the core clock speed; for example, a CPU with a clock speed of 4.40 GHz is ideal. Additionally, using a more recent CPU architecture can significantly enhance performance.
Second, RAM capacity is vital. The more RAM you have, the more loaded chunks your server can handle. More RAM also provides headroom for plugins to interact with the main server thread, which helps prevent lag spikes caused by the default Java garbage collector, which clears RAM periodically.
Lastly, storage is important. If you run out of storage, your server may fail to save data, leading to issues such as broken chunk generation, which can be a serious problem.
Do I need more vCores if I am planning to expand my player base?
E: It depends. More players mean more chunk generation, so additional vCores can help with chunk loading. However, having more vCores is not always necessary; sometimes, 2 or 3 vCores are sufficient. You can use a plugin called "Chunky" for Paper servers, which automatically generates chunks even when no players are exploring. This reduces the need for many vCores, as you can preload all the chunks with just 2 or 3 vCores. Most of the time, only one vCore will be utilized at 0-100% of your CPU usage, as it handles the main thread of the server.
T: Depende, kasi kapag mas maraming player, kailangan mo talaga ng mas maraming vCores para mag-generate ng mga chunks sa mundo. Pero mayroon tayong plugin na makakatulong para mag-load ng chunks kahit walang player na nag-eexplore. Maaari mong gamitin ang plugin na "Chunky" para iyon na ang mag-load ng chunks, at hindi mo na kailangan ng mas maraming vCores. Kadalasang isa lang na vCore ang ginagamit, na nasa 0-100% ng CPU usage, dahil iyon ang para sa main thread ng server.
If I am going to run a large player base Minecraft server, is having a higher specifications plan better?
E: Yes, it is important, but it's not just about the number of vCores; it's about the speed and recency of your CPU. The server primarily uses only one vCore, which handles the main server thread responsible for game logic, player actions, entities, world updates, and mob AI. The other cores mainly assist with chunk generation and some plugins. To find the best specifications, you should always look at the clock speed of the CPU. The higher the clock speed, the better; for example, a speed of "4.60 GHz" indicates a very fast processor that can effectively handle a large player base. Additionally, consider how recent the CPU is. For instance, the "Ryzen 7 5800X," released in 2022, features newer architecture that enhances stability and capacity. Even if a CPU has a high clock speed, an older model may be bottlenecked and perform poorly. However, there’s a way to optimize your server even with standard CPU specifications or a slightly lower clock speed, like around "3.00 GHz." This is where "server optimization" comes into play, and it’s up to you to implement it!
T: Oo, kailangan mo ng mataas na clock speed na CPU, kasi iisang vCore lang ang ginagamit ng Minecraft server para sa lahat ng actions tulad ng entities, game logic, world updates, at AI ng mga mobs. Hindi totoo na mas marami kang vCores, mas mabilis; ang mas maraming vCores ay para sa mas mabilis na chunk generation. Kaya kapag magho-host ka ng server na maraming players, kailangan mo ng CPU na mataas ang clock speed. Tingnan mo rin kung gaano na katanda ang CPU; kapag ito ay recent, mas maganda dahil mas maraming bagong architecture ang na-implement para sa mas mataas na capacity. Pero kung hindi kaya ng budget, dito na papasok ang "server optimization," at nasa iyo na iyon para ma-maximize ang kapasidad ng iyong server kahit may katamtamang CPU spec ka.
How crucial is having more RAM?
E: The amount of RAM you need depends on how many players and plugins you have. A Minecraft server has its own RAM cleaning functionality, meaning it will always free up RAM whenever there are chunks with no players in them. However, this may not be enough when you have a large player base, as your server will suffer from significant lag spikes.
T: Kakailanganin mo ng RAM depende sa dami ng players at plugins na meron ka. Ang Minecraft server natin ay may sariling naglilinis ng RAM; ini-unload nito ang mga chunks na walang players para magbigay daan sa mga players na naglo-load ng chunks sa server. Kapag marami kang players, magsusuffer ang server mo sa lag, at iyon ang oras na kailangan mong mag-upgrade ng plan.
