What Does a Small Community Need?
A Minecraft server for 5-15 players does not need a massive plan. You need reliability, good TPS, and quick support when something goes wrong. CraftNodes is built for exactly this use case.
Why Hardware Matters Even for Small Servers
Even a server with 10 players benefits from fast single-core CPU performance. Minecraft is not multi-threaded in the traditional sense — your TPS is limited by how fast one CPU core can process game ticks. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D that powers CraftNodes nodes is among the fastest processors available for this workload.
Recommended Plans
For a small survival community, the Dirt plan (2GB RAM) is enough for vanilla or lightly modded play. For plugin-heavy servers, the Stone or Iron plan gives you more headroom.
Features You Get on Every Plan
- Instant deployment — online in under 60 seconds
- Pterodactyl control panel access

No hidden fees, no complicated setup. Just pick a plan and start playing.
