Why 24 GB is more than twice 12 GB
The panel keeps 15 percent of a plan outside the Java heap, for the memory Java needs next to the world, but never more than 2 GB. On 12 GB that share is 1,843 MB; from 24 GB up it stays at 2,048 MB. So doubling the plan more than doubles what the world itself can use:
| Plan | Memory | Heap for the world | Left for Java itself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 12 GB | 10,445 MB | 1,843 MB |
| Premium | 24 GB | 22,528 MB | 2,048 MB |
| Ultimate | 48 GB | 47,104 MB | 2,048 MB |
The same numbers are in how much RAM a Minecraft server needs. A server that goes past its limit is stopped without a crash report, and this split is what prevents that.
Where a 24 GB server runs, and what it costs
| Region | Line | Hardware | Premium, a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poland (Warsaw) | Performance line | AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with DDR5, 120 GB Enterprise NVMe | €18.78 for the first 6 months, then €37.56 |
| Germany | Performance line | AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 120 GB Enterprise NVMe | €30.99 for the first 6 months, then €51.65 |
| United Kingdom, US East, US Central, US West | Standard line | A shared server processor, 150 GB SSD | €23.95 plus a small monthly surcharge |
The German and Polish locations have no surcharge, and the Performance line costs less in Poland; the other regions show their surcharge at checkout.
On this size the two lines are far apart: €23.95 a month on the Standard line against €37.56 on the Performance line in Poland and €51.65 in Germany, before the welcome price. The Standard line, in the United Kingdom and the US, gives you the memory and the most storage for the money. The Performance line, the only line in Germany and Poland, is for a heavy pack where the processor, not the memory, is what runs out: if the memory graph has room left while the tick time climbs, more memory will not help and a faster core will. Finding lag with spark shows which of the two you have.
Every term for 24 GB
| 24 GB Java | 24 months | 12 months | 6 months | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New customer, Poland (50% off) | €14.09 | €15.03 | €15.96 | €18.78, first 6 months |
| New customer, Germany (40% off) | €23.24 | €24.79 | €26.33 | €30.99, first 6 months |
| Performance line in Poland, regular price | €28.17 | €30.05 | €31.92 | €37.56 |
| Performance line in Germany, regular price | €38.73 | €41.32 | €43.89 | €51.65 |
| Standard line, UK and US, plus surcharge | €17.96 | €19.16 | €20.35 | €23.95 |
Euros per month. A 24 month term saves the most on a plan this size, and for a new customer the welcome price covers that whole term; month by month it covers the first 6 months.
24 GB with Java and Bedrock players together
| 24 GB Crossplay | 24 months | 12 months | 6 months | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New customer, Poland (50% off) | €14.89 | €15.83 | €16.76 | €19.58, first 6 months |
| New customer, Germany (40% off) | €24.56 | €26.11 | €27.65 | €32.31, first 6 months |
| Performance line in Poland, regular price | €29.77 | €31.65 | €33.52 | €39.16 |
| Performance line in Germany, regular price | €40.93 | €43.52 | €46.09 | €53.85 |
| Standard line, UK and US, plus surcharge | €19.96 | €21.16 | €22.35 | €25.95 |
A Crossplay server translates for its Bedrock players inside the same process, so a big mixed community uses more than the same world on Java alone. How Crossplay works.
What 24 GB is the right size for
| What you run | Players | Is 24 GB the size |
|---|---|---|
| A heavy modpack | 10 or more | Yes, start here |
| Several worlds on one server, such as survival, creative and a resource world | 10 or more | Yes, start here |
| A large modpack with a few hundred mods | 5 to 10 | Usually more than you need, 12 GB is the start |
| A plugin server with an economy and minigames | 10 to 20 | More than you need, 8 GB is the start |
Several worlds on a plugin server usually means Multiverse: running multiple worlds with Multiverse. Pregenerating each world first means new terrain is not generated while players explore: pregenerate a world with Chunky.
A modpack page on CurseForge or Modrinth often lists a recommended amount of memory. If a pack recommends more than 12 GB, or your players will spread out in many directions at once, this is the size to start on.
Premium against Standard and Ultimate
| Plan | Memory and vCPU | First 6 months, new customer | Then a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 12 GB, 3 vCPU | €9.58, 80 GB Enterprise NVMe | €19.16 |
| Premium | 24 GB, 4 vCPU | €18.78, 120 GB Enterprise NVMe | €37.56 |
| Ultimate | 48 GB, 6 vCPU | €37.58, 240 GB Enterprise NVMe | €75.16 |
Per month on the Performance line in Poland, 50% off for new customers. Twice the memory of Standard costs €9.20 a month more in the first 6 months and €18.40 after that.
What comes with a 24 GB server
- One click modpacks from CurseForge, Feed The Beast and Modrinth, with your old mods kept
- Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Paper, Purpur or Vanilla, switched from the panel with a backup first
- Nightly backups with ten slots, which matters on a world this size
- Staff access for up to 15 people
- An AI Copilot that reads crash logs and looks for lag
- A free website on astroworldmc.site, included from 8 GB
