You choose by group size and the kind of experience you want, not by gigabytes of RAM. ### Minecraft Party Vanilla survival with friends. Recommended for up to 5 players. No mods or plugins. Ideal for getting started today with no extra setup. ### Minecraft Plus The natural step up from Party when your group wants light mods or basic plugins. Up to 10 players and support for up to 10 mods or plugins. Light modpacks fit here. ### Minecraft SMP The most recommended plan for anyone building a community. Up to 16 players, unlimited mods and plugins, medium sized modpacks, and room to spare for economy and events. ### Minecraft Pro (Fácil line) The top of the casual line: lots of simultaneous players, advanced modpacks and maximum stability at peak. When your project needs a multi-server network or fine control over hardware, the next step up is [Minecraft Pro on Ryzen](https://streethosting.com.br/en/minecraft-pro). ## Side by side comparison[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-hosting-plans-compared#comparacao-lado-a-lado) | Feature | Party | Plus | SMP | Pro (Fácil) | | ------------------- | -------------------- | ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | | Recommended players | Up to 5 | Up to 10 | Up to 16 | Many | | Mods and plugins | None | Up to 10 | Unlimited | Unlimited | | Modpacks | No | Light | Medium | Advanced | | Ideal use | Vanilla with friends | Light mods | Community | Big projects | | Reference price | R$ 35/month | R$ 51/month | R$ 70/month | R$ 98/month | Monthly prices as listed on the official page in June 2026. Automatic activation within about 60 seconds after payment is approved. Anti-DDoS and a data center in São Paulo are included on every plan. ## Which one fits your case?[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-hosting-plans-compared#qual-e-o-seu-caso) * **Choose Party if:** it is just a few friends playing pure vanilla survival, with no plans to install mods. * **Choose Plus if:** your group has grown past five people online and wants light mods, basic plugins or a small modpack. * **Choose SMP if:** you have an active Discord, an economy, land protection, events or up to 16 players at peak. * **Choose Pro (Fácil) if:** you run a heavy modpack, lots of advanced plugins or a big community that has already outgrown SMP.

Upgrades are linear within Fácil; you do not have to start your world over. * Party → Plus: you want mods, plugins or more than 5 players at peak. * Plus → SMP: you passed 10 online, have an active economy or a medium modpack. * SMP → Pro (Fácil): a heavy modpack or a community above 16 at peak. * Pro (Fácil) → Minecraft Pro Ryzen: proxy, hub, networked minigames or a choice of GB. * Always back up before big changes.

No. SMP stands for survival multiplayer. It works for an open community or a large group with a whitelist, with around 16 players recommended at peak. Can Party handle a modpack? No. Party is pure vanilla, with no mods or plugins. For light modpacks use Plus. For medium or heavy modpacks, use SMP or Pro in the Fácil line. Is Pro in Fácil the same as Minecraft Pro on Ryzen? No. Pro in Minecraft Fácil is the biggest casual plan on the /minecraft-facil page. Minecraft Pro at /minecraft-pro is the technical line, with a choice of RAM, Ryzen and advanced networks. Can I switch from Party to Plus later? Yes. Move up a plan when your group grows or when you need mods. Back up before any bigger migration.
