A Minecraft server's requirement on the underlying hardware is primarily based on how many players are concurrently connected to the server.

Here are the minimum Minecraft server needs for Linux:


1 to 5 players Minecraft server:

Processor:

• Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz processors
• AMD Athlon-based Processors

Memory: 6 GB Memory

Hard drive: 2 GB of available HDD space
(5GB if you are doing frequent backups)

Network Speed:

• 3 Mbps upload speed
• 2 Mbps download speed

20 or More players Minecraft server:

Processor:

• Intel i5 or i7 processors
• AMD Ryzen 5 or 7-based processors

Memory: 64 GB or more Memory

Hard drive: 35 GB of available HDD storage space

Network speed:

• 30 Mbps upload speed
• 15 Mbps download speed

Note:

It is advised to use a solid-state drive (SSD) for additional performance due to more rapid read/write data speeds.
