==== Storage ==== |
|||
Minimum storage needs depends on number of worlds, range of exploration and frequency of backups. Figure ~1-2GB for an early game world, more as other dimensions get explored, and another 1-2GB for the pack/server files. Each backup is going to be a similar size, so having too many of these will quickly balloon the storage requirements. A SSD is faster and will reduce load/save times for chunks and player inventories. Most of Minecraft runs in RAM and slower platter drives should still be usable if nothing better is available. The suggestions in [[Low End PCs]] can be used to help improve performance with lower end machines. |

==== Connection Speed ==== |
|||
Connection speeds are rated in Mb / Mbps, or ''megabits per second''. This is not the same as MB, the more commonly known ''megabytes''. One megabit is only 1/8th of a megabyte. Be aware of this when comparing server packages, especially with paid hosts. Companies advertise maximum upload/download rates under ideal conditions, rarely actual values which will vary based on local infrastructure and location. Utilities like https://fast.com/ can be used to check real download/upload speed. Click "Show more info" for upload. |
