FAQ
How much RAM does FTB Skies 2 need?
The official launcher or pack figure is 6 GB minimum and 8 GB recommended for the client. For a hosted server with a group we suggest 8–10 GB, which adds typical server headroom (GamerKit rule of thumb, not an official figure). Pack note: FTB launcher spec; no player-count scaling published..
Is the official figure enough for a server?
The official figure (6 GB minimum and 8 GB recommended) is for the game client, not a hosted server. A server with several players loads chunks and mods for everyone at once, so give it more than the client figure.
Which Minecraft version and loader does FTB Skies 2 use?
FTB Skies 2 runs on Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge, and the latest release we checked was 1.24.0 (2026-10-12). Your host needs the matching Java version for that Minecraft release.
Do modpacks need more CPU or more RAM?
Both, but modded Minecraft is single-thread bound, so a host with a high clock speed matters as much as the RAM.
