Hey everyone, I'm wondering how much bandwidth I'll use monthly if I were to run a private minecraft server via hamachi with 2 friends. At minimum 1 person will be on at a time. Usually 2 people will be on the server with the occasional third. I have 50 mbp download 1-12 mbp upload. I have a monthly bandwidth limit of 1024gb. The server's ram is set to 5gb. It's also a forge server. Mostly what will be done on this server is exploring/building. Will hosting this for 7-8 hours a day use up a lot of my bandwidth?
If your bandwidth limit is 1024GB A.K.A 1TB, then you have nothing to worry about in terms of bandwitdth as minecraft consumes very little per player.
If we were to assume each player using 0.1Gb/hour, then running that server with all people playing 24/7 would eat up 216GB every 30 days.
Assuming the much more likely statistic of Minecraft using 200kbps, then running it 24/7 with all 3 playing for 30 days would take up 518.4GB.
Assuming that you run your sever for 8 hours a day for 30 days, with all 3 players playing constantly, using 200kbps, the bandwidth usage would be 172.8GB.
