minecraft-optimization VS AMP

I'd recommend dropping the simulation distance and render distance and read up on this. Chunk loading is one of the most resource-intensive parts for the server - perhaps even the most.

Follow this guide (read all carefully)

I have since found https://github.com/YouHaveTrouble/minecraft-optimization so I will be reading up on that too!

I understand this is a rather specific use case but I'm not exactly an expert this. I have an old PC that I'm converting into a AMP (https://cubecoders.com/AMP) server to host game servers as opposed to renting them from various providers. I don't know much about the concept of a DMZ server, I know it functionally runs outside of the network but not much past that. My ISP makes it difficult to port forward but there is an option to enable a DMZ which I understand allows all ports, and it appears to be simple to open and close ports in the Proxmox firewall. Which leads me to my question: Is the Proxmox firewall secure enough to run as a perimeter defense or should I look into other options? I'm also looking to expand my networking knowledge so any explanations for suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you using a game panel, for example something like AMP (https://cubecoders.com/AMP)? That's a standard feature in AMP and if you're thinking of wanting to host other game servers in the future, it's well worth the one time $10 fee.

I recommend buying AMP by Cube Coders. You can then easily set up any server on your computer. Very cheap. I use it to run several Minecraft servers, Satisfactory, Valheim on the same PC. https://cubecoders.com/AMP

If, docker / kubernetes is not your thing, and you want an easy button, then, I recommend checking out AMP: https://cubecoders.com/AMP

I also just purchased a license started to try AMP Gamer Server Controller, and it's not too bad but I don't have much experience with it yet (will probably get more into it with A21 release soon).

Check out AMP Also don't use oracle Linux, recreate the vm with Ubuntu :)

Hi everyone. I'm planning on setting up a home server mainly for serving a dedicated gaming server using cubecoders amp (LINK) (I'll probably dedicate 4-6 cores, 16gb ram), a homeassistant server (LINK) for home automation(4 cores, 8gb ram'll be enough I think), a plex server for media consumption with my family (don't know how much cpu/ram to allocate), and a backup server(don't know what to use tbh). Also I might install, grafana and a development/build server as well for my personal projects. I might also dedicate a vm for transcoding videos to av1/h265 etc..

AMP can do this - if there's no players on, the server is put to sleep but AMP emulates enough of the Minecraft protocol to make it look like it's still online and respond to queries. When a player tries to join, they get a (configurable) message asking them to reconnect while the server starts up. - It can do this for a few other games too.

Other than that it depends on your budget, capabilities and setup choices. - Shockbyte is cheaper, but you are still paying at least 15$/month. - If you have experience with server management you can rent a Linux server it-self instead of just an ARK instance. This is cheaper and you have more control, but you also have more responsibilities. If you are going this path, I'd still recommend an UI like AMP, it makes clear what settings are possible and not + an easy entryway to other gameservers. - Which map are you going to play on? A Genesis Part 2 maps will hog more memory than a standard The Island map. If a cluster is among your choices, then calculate at least 8 GB RAM per map you are going to connect.
