Things Minecraft server owners learn the hard way
Pre-generate your world with Chunky right after creating it; most 'lag' is chunk generation.- Keep view-distance at 8–10 for groups; 32 looks pretty and halves your TPS.
Minecraft hosting FAQ
How much RAM does a Minecraft server need?
You don't pick a RAM size with CouchRaid. RAM is uncapped and shared on the node and we watch it for you; the thing you pick is how many friends can join (player slots). Modpacks use more memory than vanilla — ask the co-admin why the server is lagging and it tells you when it's short on memory, so you can trim the pack or move up a slot tier.
Can Bedrock (console/phone) players join a Java server?
Yes — flip on Geyser + Floodgate in the panel. Bedrock players join on the UDP port shown on your dashboard.
Can I install any modpack?
CurseForge and Modrinth packs install from the panel. For a custom pack, upload the server files via SFTP or the file manager.
Do you support plugins?
Paper/Purpur servers support plugins via the built-in installer or by uploading .jar files to /plugins.
Is there a free trial?
48 hours on a 2-slot Paper server, no card. Extend it once by 24 hours from the dashboard if you need more time, and keep your world by adding a card before it expires.
