A Minecraft server runs its world on one main thread, so clock speed matters more than the number of cores. Our Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9950X boost up to 5.7 GHz, and the 9950X3D adds a 128 MB L3 cache that keeps game data close to the cores.
Why a dedicated server for Minecraft
| High clock speed | Fewer lag spikes when many players build, explode or farm at the same time. |
| All resources are yours | No other customers on the machine, so tick times stay steady in the evening too. |
| Room for a network | Proxy, lobby and several game modes on one server, with up to 256 GB RAM. |
| NVMe storage | Worlds and chunks load fast, backups finish quickly. |

Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does a Minecraft server need?
Plan 8–16 GB for a server with plugins or mods. A network with proxy, lobby and several game modes needs more; with up to 256 GB there is room for all of them.
Java or Bedrock edition?
Both run on Linux. You install the server software yourself, or a panel such as Pterodactyl to manage several servers.
