How much RAM does a MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure server need?
Sized by player count, estimated from the size of the official server pack (1.0 GB). Modded servers grow into their memory over the first days as the world fills up, so pick the row for the group you expect, not the one you have on day one.
Different player count or extra mods in mind? The RAM calculator works it out from the same measurements.
| Players | RAM | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Just you | 6 GB | $7.50 |
| 2 to 4 friends | 8 GBrecommended | $9.50 |
| 5 to 10 players | 10 GB | $11.50 |
| Public server | 12 GB | $13.50 |
If you are not sure, start the trial: the panel's memory chart shows what the pack really uses with your group on, and RAM changes by the gigabyte at any time.

How to make a MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure server
Yourself, on your own machine
- 1Download the server pack, not the client zip
The file called "server pack" on the pack's CurseForge page (MineColonies Dimensional Adventure-1.21.1-1.2.6-hotfix.zip, 1.0 GB) contains the mod jars, configs and a start script. The client zip your launcher downloads is only a manifest and does not run as a server.
- 2Install Java 21
Minecraft 1.21.1 runs on Java 21. Install it and check with "java -version" before anything else; the wrong Java is the most common reason a NeoForge server refuses to start.
- 3Run the NeoForge installer and accept the EULA
If the pack does not ship an installed loader, run "java -jar neoforge-installer.jar --installServer" in the server folder. Start it once, open eula.txt, set eula=true, start again.
- 4Set the memory to 8 GB
Give it memory: -Xmx8G in user_jvm_args.txt (NeoForge for Minecraft 1.17 and newer) or in the start script's java line on older versions. The first boot registers every mod and can take several minutes; wait for the Done line before judging it.
- 5Open the port and invite people
Forward TCP 25565 on your router and allow it in the firewall, then share your public address. Everyone installs the same pack version in their launcher; a newer client is refused or misses content.
On FadeHost
- 1Start the free trial
No card. The signup remembers MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure; your account and server are created together.
- 2We install MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure
The whole server pack, NeoForge loader and the right Java, with the client-only mods that crash dedicated servers already removed. Pack updates are one click.
- 3Share the address and play
Your address works the moment the world finishes generating. The trial's 8 GB is enough to run the pack properly.
Hosting notes for MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure
- Pregenerate the area your group will explore (Chunky, radius 2000 to 3000) before launch night. Fresh chunk generation is the biggest lag source in modded Minecraft.
- The first boot registers every mod and can take several minutes. Wait for the Done line instead of restarting into a half-written config.
- Pin the pack version on the server and every client and update together. A client on a newer pack build is refused or misses content. Back up before pack updates.
- Client-only mods (shaders, HUD and texture mods) belong on players' PCs. The server pack leaves them out, and our installer removes the known ones that crash dedicated servers.
- When TPS drops after a few weeks it is someone's base: run spark for a minute and it names the chunk. Chunk-loading limits help more than hardware.
Why host MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure on FadeHost
Mods, configs and datapacks from the official NeoForge pack, set up on first boot with the client-only mods removed. Pack updates are one click, never an FTP session.
The server sleeps when nobody is on and wakes the moment a player joins, so a friend group pays for a server that is actually up when it matters.
When a mod breaks the boot, the diagnosis names it and the fix is one click. Ask the Copilot why the server lags and it answers from the real console and stats.
NVMe-backed nodes, full console and file access, scheduled backups to offsite storage, and every extra gigabyte of RAM is a dollar a month.
Frequently asked
How do I make a MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure server?
The short way: start a FadeHost trial and pick MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure; the server pack, the NeoForge loader and the right Java install themselves and the server is online in a few minutes. The manual way: download the official server files, install Java 21, run the NeoForge installer, accept the EULA, set the memory and open port 25565. Both are described on this page.
How do I play MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure with friends?
Host a server for it: everyone installs MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure in their launcher and joins one address, and the world keeps running while any of you is on. On FadeHost the pack installs itself when you create the server, the 7-day trial gives 8 GB with no card, and a sleeping server wakes when a friend joins. The manual way is the server files below on a machine that stays on with port 25565 open; LAN and direct connect only work while the host's PC is on and everyone is on the same network.
How much RAM does a MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure server need?
8 GB for a group of 2 to 4 friends and 10 GB for 5 to 10 players, estimated from the size of the official server pack (1.0 GB).
Where do I download the MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure server files?
From the pack's CurseForge page: every release has a separate "server pack" file with the mod jars and configs (newest: MineColonies Dimensional Adventure-1.21.1-1.2.6-hotfix.zip). The client zip is only a manifest. On FadeHost the server pack is fetched and installed for you.
Can I host a MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure server for free?
Not on the free tier: it gives 2 GB and MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure needs 8 GB ($9.50 a month here). The 7-day trial gives 8 GB with no card, enough to run the pack properly.
Which Java version does MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure need?
Minecraft 1.21.1 runs on Java 21. On FadeHost the right Java is picked automatically; on your own machine install it before running the NeoForge installer.
Do my friends need to install MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure too?
Yes. Everyone joining needs the same MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure version in their launcher (CurseForge, Modrinth or Prism). The server side is handled by the host; a client on a newer pack version than the server is refused or misses content.
Can I bring my existing MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure world?
Yes. Upload the world folder through the file manager or SFTP, or use the importer to pull the whole server from another host. Keep the pack version the world was played on until it is safely backed up.
Does MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure work on Bedrock (phones and consoles)?
No. MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure is a Java Edition modpack and Bedrock clients cannot load mods. Geyser lets Bedrock players join vanilla-compatible Java servers, not modded ones.
The MineColonies: Dimensional Adventure server crashes on start. What now?
The usual causes are a client-only mod in the mods folder (shaders, HUD or texture mods), a loader build that does not match the pack version, the wrong Java, or too little memory. On FadeHost the installer removes the known client-only mods, the loader and Java are matched to the pack, and the crash doctor reads the log and names the mod when something else breaks.
