Help CenterThis guide will walk you through installing Prominence II on your Minecraft server. It also includes helpful troubleshooting tips, recommended RAM settings, and other useful information to make sure everything is set up smoothly.
How Much RAM Will This Modpack Need?
At least 10GB of RAM is recommended to install the modpack, more RAM may be needed depending on the exact number of people joining. We typically recommend allocating 1GB of RAM for every 5 people playing.
The amount of RAM required for a modded Minecraft server largely depends on the number of players. Most modpacks are not designed to support more than 5 to 10 players at a time.
If you are experiencing lag or crashing on your server after installing a modpack, it is most likely a RAM issue. Upgrading your server may be needed. You can monitor RAM usage on your Panel.
Step 1: Log Into SimpleGameHosting Panel
To get started with installing the modpack on your server, you first need to access the SimpleGameHosting Control Panel. From here, log in to your account with the information you set up after setting up your control panel account.
