Is there anyhwhere that has any kind of benchmark for different hardware when hosting minecraft servers? I’m considering migrating to my homelab from a sparkedhost instance but I dont know if it’ll be worth potentially worse performance (Ryzen 7000-series x3 vCPUs versus my i5 9500 running concurrent services)
It really depends on the mods. Stock Minecraft and even many mods would run fine on a potato, but some of the bigger mods actually require quite a bit of CPU/overhead.
There are also various mods that require certain (older) versions of Java etc to run, and those versions of Java may have known security issues.
