Any computer that can run Java8+ can, in theory, be used as a modded Minecraft server. Re-purposing an old machine as a server is a common choice with practical benefits. The most important specs for decent performance will be single thread CPU frequency (Minecraft does not take advantage of multi-core threading), sufficient RAM and lots of storage space. For residential remote hosts, internet connection upload speed will be the limiting factor as both upload and download are used equally for a server. The closer the client(s) and server are to each other, the lower the latency and generally the better the connection will be. |
