I want to play a modpack in a server with 3 other friends. I've been researching a lot but I found that there are different opinions on how much RAM I need to make it work smoothly.
Some people say that 1 GB is enough for just a few amount of players and a modpack, but some websites say that 1 GB is only enough for vanilla.
Some people also say that 2 GB should be the minimum, but some websites say that 2 GB can only handle 10 mods, meanwhile we want to play the big modpacks (like Crazycraft, RADpack, etc.)
Servers often say that 4 GB is the recommended to play most modpacks but if I compare to what people say, 4 GB just sounds like overkill. Is this a marketing tactic to squeeze money out of unexperienced people? I don't want to get a server thats so strong to the point that I'm wasting money, but I also don't want to get a server that is so slow that its unplayable.
If any of you have experience on renting servers to play modpacks, I would appreciate the insight!

Yeah, at least 4GB. Mods soak up RAM, especially the larger packs, and you start getting tick issues as you run out.
Alright, thanks for the reply!
