upload speed and download speed
what is a good internet speed meaning upload and download speed for a large server or very modded server i wanna know

if you're trying to selfhost a very large or heavily modded server, your internet speed will probably not be the thing that bottlenecks server performance
I would say a stable 100mbps would be fione for your case, assuming u have other things running too
Upload or download
Other things running wdym
Not really am saying idk if having not so great internet speed would be problematic especially if the player count gets higher
mainly upload but download is also required, tho they'd be similiar in needs, so negligeable difference
symmetrical would be better
Wdym by other things?
I wouldn't be running anything else on server
like other software, other devices running on the same network
Idk about that
I don't own the server physically on my home
Idk how other devices would effect the speed
How did you test the upload and download speed
'-'
arent you home hosting/self hosting?
no i don't gotta powerfull cpu or server
then why ask, either way most have minimum 1gbps
wdym
other than few cases with 100mbps or 300mbps
.
who has 1gb
all dedis, at least now days have minimum 100mbps, tho the standard tends to be 1gbps, and its moving towards 10gbps
dedis?
yes, dedis, servers
datacenter hosted machines
just to generalize
it's not datacenter it's vps
virtual private server
which is probably hosted in a datacenter
either way u alrdy have it no?
it should have atleast 100mbps up and down speeds
i think mine is expection then
so u shouldnt rlly be worrying
wdym
but how can you tell it's 100mbps
what did you test connection with
provider should say on the website
or u can use speedtest cli
for ur linux distro ig
ye i used speedtest cli
it should say 100mb?
thats one way to get an estimate
/s
100mbps or more
per second?
100mb0s is the bare, BARE minimum
100 megabits per second
yes
that sounds a lot but to be expected for server
i actually got below 100 π
but it's minecaft
100 mb per second sounds a lot for minecraft
does it really need that much
depending on the size yes
else at a certain point players cannot join or may even get kicked if a spike happens for whatever reason
Think less of "minecraft needs a lot of upload" but rather, "having a 'large server' with lots of players" like you were saying needs a lot of upload.
Every connected player requests a little bit of data from the server, and the server needs to be able to upload all that data to its players fast enough. When more and more players are joining and demanding data from the server, more upload bandwidth is needed to feed out data fast enough to all those many players, who each individually are not requesting that much data, but as a grand sum are requesting a lot.
Each player may only need 2-3 mbps of data, but with 100 or 500 players, suddenly the server is needing to feed up 1.5 gigabits per second of data to everyone.
π 2-3mbps for each player
This can be a lot more for modded servers / clients though. For example, a survival server with lots and lots of mods might have more complex chunks that send a lot more data as players explore
like terrain generator mod
the only thing a slow upload speed would effect is the time it takes to send chunks. If the connection is exceptionally slow, it'll look something like this:
it is absolutely possible for 10 people exploring to hit 50mbps combined on a 1.21.1 modded server
Maybe it doesn't happen often
Or in rare ceases
if your network bottlenecks, it certainly does happen
think twice about using this to run mods
most lower-end vps plans have older xeon/epyc chips that may not handle single threaded tasks well
and if you are paying a lot for a vps, consider shared hosting
Yoo your back
π
You have your own server I was gonna suggest to you going for folia
Because you have lots of cores and not so good CPU speed
we run fabric for lithium and stuff, as we are primarily a technical community
You mean normal Minecraft hosting
like those who sells you non-dedicated servers
Idk wdym by technical community but ok
Like aternos
well thats a bad example but yes
And lagless
Ye ik
I've heard lagless is good
just curious, how much are you paying for said vps?
I do have good hosting I told you about
Lets just say I know my way around
well if its cheap don't expect a ton of performance, in which case your cpu would probably bottleneck you instead of networking
Ye I totally understand
Am just trying stuff
However I do have good hosting offering fast CPU and 8 GB of ram
It's just the servers ping
it is not freeminecrafthost.com is it β οΈ
Keep that a secret
What's the problem
They weren't lying about anything
well no, I've tried to host a proxy before there, and the networking quality is β οΈ
The only problem has become the ping because they are very far
Wdym?
Networking??
They are like any other host
random disconnects, and ports randomly closing themselves (non server)
Why
What
no idea
When did this happen
Why did you not contact support
because I'm lazy too
-_-
i'm not dependent on their services, just did it for curiosity
Could have at least discovered the problem
give me 30 mins - 1 hour, ill show you what i mean
._.
You gonna make a server there again π
And recreate problem
nah im waiting for the described symptoms to happen with evidence
I mean am not support but I can ask around if it happened
well its not acting up yet, so you see how a part of the graphs are blank? The server is on, but the data logging port is just closed (?)
only after a restart did it start to log data again
Bro
What is this graph
a grafana dashboard
Why not fmh console
You installed this on server
its a more detailed profiler than what pterodactyl provides
Pterodactyl is what fmh has but ok
this isnt that detailed is it
Ik but not for your use cease
Wait your only using 50%
so basically I've noticed that after a while the graphs are cut off and prometheus is no longer getting data from fmh
What node your on?
LA 2
Ah
also yes
im using the cheapest plan
Bruh
I wouldn't use fmh for anything else other than highest plan
I'm not really using it per se, just poking around
Ok
You said it's not acting up right now
well it takes between 2 hours and 30 mins to do the magic, so any second now π l
that sounds very odd
thats just a issue that ive noticed, maybe its just wizardry on my node and doesn't actually affect you
Maybe I can't tell you nothing comes to mind because it's rare anybody uses network server on fmh I have not seen any support tickets before on this issue
well every server needs networking, and im not doing anything that a regular user wouldn't do
Am just saying maybe the users are not smart enough to set this up or don't need to which is why I don't got any idea
well all the profiler is doing is occupying a port for data, which simulates a player connection
and if the data is inconsistent, the connection can be choppy
Could this be simply node is too far
Keep that a secretlmao do you think you've found some secret cheat code?
I mean, if you tell 10 people on a modded server to all explore at once and you have the bandwidth, then they will use 50mbps of upload bandwidth
if thereβs 10 people standing still, youβll use almost 0 bandwidth
Ye your right
Not cheat code I said it for different reason then you had in mind
It's also super good
I thought you were joking, I didn't think that was a real website
:minecraftTroll:
i know lol i told them change the naming they don't listen
it sounds sus as heck but everything legit
:minecraftTroll:
did you get issue ?
