Number of Mods
View Distance
Hytale's default view distance (384 blocks / 12 chunks) is roughly equivalent to 24 Minecraft chunks.
Player Exploration Style
Players exploring independently load more chunks into memory simultaneously.

- •Hytale requires minimum 4GB RAM.
- •View distance is the main driver for RAM usage.
- •High CPU during operation may indicate memory pressure.
- •Monitor usage while testing to understand your needs.
How This Calculator Works
This calculator estimates RAM requirements based on Hytale's server architecture. The formula considers several factors:
- Base overhead: Hytale servers need at least 4GB to run.
- Players: Each player adds ~150MB due to inventory, entities, and chunk loading.
- Mods: Each mod consumes memory for new blocks, items, and mechanics.
- View distance: Hytale's default 384 blocks is much larger than most games.
- Exploration: Players spreading out loads more chunks simultaneously.
Note: These are estimates. Monitor RAM and CPU usage during actual gameplay to understand your specific needs. High CPU usage often indicates memory pressure from garbage collection.
