    hello people on the internet, so 2 days ago i made i minecraft server and i saw this thing called ram

    Im new to aternos and i never heard of ram so searched it up and it says its bad to use al of the ram but the bar keeps going up(by small bits) and that kinda scares me so im wondering

    1 what is ram

    2 what happens when the bar fills

    3 how do i decrease the amount of ram i use

    Bedrock 1.18.3




    Ps: can somebody explain how my ps friends can join my server to

    You can basicly ignore the ram just dont do to much redstone or the server will lag. For your friends to join click connect on your dashboard and give them your server ip and port number tell them to go to there server list and click add server

    ok so im fine if i dont build redstone alot


    Also on ps the option isnt there u need to use some kind of app that doesnt work for my friends i believe its called bedrock together

    1 what is ram

    RAM, or rather "Random Access Memory" in its full form, is used to store working data and machine code. Your server relies on RAM to run properly and needs it. Similarly, your pc, your phone, laptop, playstation etc. All have it.

    2 what happens when the bar fills

    The most likely outcome is that your server will crash. In the event that this happens it's best to reduce the load on your server - deleting mods for example.

    Refer to my previous answer.


    As long as your RAM isn't at least 3/4th used, nothing to worry about.


    However, please note that we can't help with Bedrock Together here.
