fr just watched a video called "Best Minecraft Server Hosts of 2023" and literally 30 seconds in the words "We're affiliated with all the servers in this video" as if it wasn't cause for bias.
Aternos does have mod and plugin support technically but it is very limited. I'm personally moving away from my free modded server I've run on aternos for over a year because I require something stronger. Despite this I have two other modded servers I also run on the side on Aternos. I would say they work pretty well if your looking to just play with your friends as even though I run these servers they have only ever been for me and my friends. You can use mods, but try not to use too many. I wouldnt use anything much over a hundred and that's if you only have a few people playing. As I said, good to start understanding how servers work without spending money or to just have a server to play with your pals here and there
@@guestdeni9638 I'm not sure, I was watching this video and ones like it in hopes to find out. This was just my comment on Aternos as I think it should be said it does have some basic support for mods and plugins despite being free. Best of luck to you in your server host searches though!
Apex doesn't limit player slots, I'm not sure where you got that information? You can adjust the player slots yourself on your server panel, and it is only locked when a game specifically will not run if you set your player count any higher. They do have a recommended player count for each package but this is not enforced. Zero artificial player slot limit present whatsoever outside actual game limits. Source: I work at Apex and at the very least on this date January 2023 there is no player slot limit enforced. Disclaimer: Not speaking officially on Apex's behalf, was just surprised to see that stated as a fact when it's verifiably untrue
I use Apex and had a question. I had a 4gb server, pre gen'd 20k Chunks with Chunky, but somehow mining a single coal ore in a game caused lag spikes? And I was alone? Wtf is Apex's service because the GB-Player chart states that 4gb should be perfect for 10 players but I can barely play it alone
@@gryzz6873 It's hard to say without looking at the server, but if you submit a ticket or open a livechat I'm sure an agent can help you out. That's the sort of thing we deal with every day and we won't shrug you off and tell you it's perfectly normal. ^^ If I tried to help you without seeing the server I'd be giving you overly general advice and it probably wouldn't be too helpful; there are a lot of possible reasons for lag that we can narrow down if we have the server in front of us.
@@DerekSan_Arg You can manually upload any mod files/other server files to an Apex server that you want even if the modpack isn't available on the installer, so just as long as the mods work on servers you can run them on an Apex server too.
After seeing the video I have a question. I notice that the pricing is good across the board. but the expected player count is way higher than I need. I just a server to run for me and three others at most, but I want smooth gameplay but dont need all the player slots. Is their a host service that fits my bill or should I just go with the 3-4 gigs of ram and not care for the player lots?
if ur really not going to do modded, literally any option is good, I personally use pebble host and play modded minecraft with a friend which is Divine journey 2 and runs completely fine and discord support for the server is really good.
HI! I would like to ask something, i am currently trying to create a minecraft server with friends, it will be vanilla, with perhaps datapacks, and ~10 players, how much GB would i need to have each players have at least 16 chunks render distance and a good experience ?
Shockbyte sometimes have long wait times, but once you have your server, the service is actually pretty neat. The best part about them is the library of guides on their youtube channel. Good stuff.
Is sparked host better than apex? Im looking for a cheaper one but with good costumer support and sparked host caught my eye. Im looking to run 70+ mods. 75 is max, and im going to have 3 people on my server. What pack should i get?
sparkedhost as far as i know is good for beginners who dont want to risk much money for hosting on the other hand Apex is good for modpacks and plugins and fast the downside is its reallly expensive
Apex hosting charged my friend 200 a month for a 3 gb server because all the add ons they threw on. and scalacube sucked for ark hosting but that is a diffrent game so maybe it runs smoother on minecraft,
unfortunately servers require upkeep and one time payments wouldn't be viable for the people that own the servers, aternos is a viable option for free you could try that, or try the cheapest option for a server if possible of course
aternos is fantastic for free servers, but it begins to falter HARD with larger modpacks, to the point of being outright unplayable on a bad day. Good for starting out with, but dear god will you be glad once you actually start paying for your servers.
Any recommendations? I am running a 3 man modded server with big mods like The undergarden, Ice and fire, Twighlight forest and other mods (150 mods). Right now im using Shockbyte Zues plan 12GB but when anyone goes exploring and render new chunks in ,the server will just crash. Should i upgrade and invest more with shockbyte or are there better server hosting options for my modded world?
multi craft panels are terrible. pterodactyl (or apollo as sparked calls them) is much better and more responsive. i operate a server network using sparked host shared hosting across all three tiers: budget enterprise and extreme. they are very cheap and offer 10/10 customer support (10 second response time to a TICKET) - would definitely recommend
Don't listen to the other comment, Aternos will run like absolute dog crap for what you want. I can't which host but I can say, for 1.19.4 (current latest version of MC) you'd probably want at least 5 - 7gb of ram. Price just depends on the hosting provider really. Use something like paper if you want decent performance.
scalacube scammed me. I've sent 2 refund requests and i got 0 help. I completely don't recommend it to anyone. there is much better services like pebblehost or shockbyte that are not trying to scam you.
