Hello.

I am looking to build a minecraft server for 3 people and FTB Infinity. I decided to get an Intel i3 6100 and 32GB ram. Is that enough? I won't be playing on the server PC.
 
Solution
depends on the mods one light mod like more swords 1.7 with 5 players is more than fine on 1gb ram but a hevey mod pack with 5 players may need a bit more power with FTB infinity i would run it on 4gb ram and see how it goes and if not try 6 or 8 i dont think you ever will need more than that also i would get a better cpu like a 6400 or 6600k as it would be much better given that if you play on the server when it is being run it may not run well for you having only 2 cores of cpu power
 


Thanks, I should be fine since I am playing on my own different rig 😀
 


wait. So you are stating that only get a better processor if I will be gaming on the server pc?

 


yeah
i think you should ask everyone who is playing it how well it works just to chose
 




Ok, I have my own gaming rig and so do my friends so the i3 6100 should be perfectly fine for the server. Am I correct?

 


in minecraft when more than 2 dimensions are loaded at the same time the server may lag a bit other than that your fine (you dont use too much tnt right if you get a 6950x :):):))
 


Would it be worth me spending extra money to get an i3 6320 @ 3.9GHz rather than a i3 6100 @ 3.7?

 


no if your going to spend a bit extra get a i5 6400 the 4core will help a lot in server running allowing a smooth gameplay experience for anyone who does not have crappy wifi
a 6300 overt a 6100 is not worth it for this purpose

The i5 6400 has less single core performance than the i3 6100. Minecraft servers are generally only single core.
