Is there anyhwhere that has any kind of benchmark for different hardware when hosting minecraft servers? I’m considering migrating to my homelab from a sparkedhost instance but I dont know if it’ll be worth potentially worse performance (Ryzen 7000-series x3 vCPUs versus my i5 9500 running concurrent services)

    I ran a modded server on an i5-4690K for about 5 people and never noticed any hiccups. The CPU was almost always maxed out due to other things (Frigate camera transcoding, Plex streaming, torrenting) and it ran fine.

    How many people will be playing and will there be lots of mods?

    I successfully ran a modded java minecraft server for me and my friends for years on an ancient thinkstation with a xeon E5430 (quad core 2.6 ghz w/ddr3 ram) doing double duty as a NAS. That old xeon couldn’t carry your i5’s jock on single core performance, which is your main concern. As long as you’re not running huge kitchen sink packs with giant complex bases I think you’ll be fine.

    when i was buying hardware my main concern was my mc servers performance however since its really only me playing on it i didn’t make it the focus of my pruchase. currently im using ms-01 with 12th gen i5 proxmox cluster with storage over nfs on a qnap ts-932px running 5x hdd in raid 5 there is an ssd cache but its running all 12 of my active vms and no performance hits so far
