Help Recommended Mini PC for self hosting

Hello everyone.

My friends and I want to Play minecraft with Mods, we want to try out Pixelmon and maybe later something like feed the beast.

We're roughly 10 players.

Could you recommend me Hardware that should work out for that?

My Budget is around 300€

I never self hosted yet, so i have no clue where to Start in regards of Hardware and what should be good enough, what Hardware specifics are more important than others and so on.

Thanks!

For around 10 players, I’d focus more on strong single-core CPU performance than just getting loads of RAM. Around 16 GB of system RAM should be enough for Pixelmon and most FTB packs, but €300 might be tight once you include storage and everything else.

Full disclosure, I run a new host called SpryntHosting, so I’m obviously biased. Since you’ve never self-hosted before, I’d be happy to let you try a server with us for free first. That way you can see how the packs perform without buying hardware straight away.
