A good size RAM-disk for Minecraft server?

minecraft-java-edition minecraft-java-edition-server hardware server-administration

I'm running a Minecraft Craftbukkit server using this awesome script. My box has 3GB of RAM, and I have it set up to use 2GB minimum, and 2.5GB max.

I want to use the RAM-disk feature in the script, but I'm wondering how much space is needed for the RAM-disk to be effective? I've heard people get away with only using 200MB of RAM disk, and like 100MB of RAM for the server process, which seems sketchy...

Given I have 3GB of RAM available to me, any thoughts on RAM-disk size in comparison to just RAM?

P.S. Does this belong on Super User?


The largest maps I've ever downloaded have only just about topped 100MB. Unless you generate an obscene number of chunks, 200MB is going to be fine.
