Enshrouded server requirements
What the server needs before you pick a size. 6 GB of RAM is the minimum, and the table below sizes it by player count.
- RAM
- 6 GB minimum. Every extra gigabyte is $1 a month and can be added or removed later without a reinstall.
- CPU
- Moderate for 16 players; the world save on shutdown is the slow part.
- Disk
- Saves are a few hundred megabytes.
- Ports
- Game and query UDP ports, assigned for you.
- Mods and plugins
- No official mod support on servers yet; settings cover difficulty and progression.
- Your existing world
- Upload the savegame folder; a world from single-player carries over.
RAM by player count
Sizing by player count. Start small and add RAM later in a couple of clicks, with no reinstall. For a Minecraft server with plugins, mods or Bedrock players, the RAM calculator sizes it from what servers hosted here use.
| Players | Recommended RAM | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2 to 6 | 6 GB | Standard group world |
| 6 to 16 | 8 GB | Full server with big builds |
How to make a Enshrouded server
An Enshrouded dedicated server keeps one shared world for up to 16 players, so everyone builds in the same place whenever they play.
- 1
Create your server
Start the free 7-day trial (no credit card) or pick a plan. 6 GB is the comfortable baseline for a persistent world. Then hit Create Server in the panel, choose Enshrouded and your region, and the server installs itself. Your server's address and port appear on the server page as soon as it's up.
- 2
Name and protect the world
Set the server name, password and slot count (up to Enshrouded's 16-player cap) from the Settings tab. World saves are incremental and covered by automatic backups.
- 3
Join the server
In Enshrouded choose Play → Join, find your server by name or enter the address and port from your server page. The world stops cleanly on restarts, so progress always saves.
What the panel hands you
- Address
- On the server page as soon as it is up, port and all.
- Console and files
- Live console, a file manager and SFTP, from the first minute.
- Backups
- Daily, with one-click restore and a backup you can take by hand before a risky change.
- If it goes wrong
- The crash doctor reads the log and tells you the cause in plain words.
Start from a preset
When you create a Enshrouded server, pick one of these and every setting is filled in. Change any field, or save a running server's setup as your own preset.

Survival
The hardest preset.

What a Enshrouded server costs
You pay for RAM, not for the title: a server slot is $2.50 a month with 1 GB and 30 GB of storage, and every gigabyte after that is $1. A year is ten months. The same subscription runs Enshrouded today and anything else we host tomorrow.

Who can join

Regions and latency
Pick Europe or North America when you create the server. North America has nodes on the east coast and the west coast, Europe in the west, all on NVMe storage with DDoS protection in front. Players on the same continent as the server see 20 to 60 ms, which Enshrouded handles well; a group split across the Atlantic should host where most of them are. Changing region later is a backup, a new server in the other region, and a restore.
Frequently asked questions
- How many players can join an Enshrouded server?
- Up to 16, which is the game's own cap for dedicated servers. Everyone shares one persistent world that keeps existing while you're all offline.
- How much RAM does an Enshrouded server need?
- 6 GB covers most groups; 8 GB gives headroom for a full 16-slot server with sprawling bases. The world is voxel-based, so heavily terraformed servers trend upward over time.
- Can I set a password and admin roles?
- Yes. Password and role-based permissions (admin/friend/guest groups) are panel settings. Keep your world private or run it semi-public with protected building rights.
- Does my world save properly when the server stops or updates?
- Yes. Enshrouded only saves reliably when the game process is asked to quit gracefully. Our stop path does exactly that (verified save-on-stop), and scheduled backups give you restore points on top.
- Can I move my co-op save to the dedicated server?
- Yes. Upload your local savegame through the file manager, match the save ID, restart, and your world is live 24/7. The docs walk through the exact folder layout.
