Do not compare gigabytes; compare how many people join at the same time. ## The paradox of choice[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/which-minecraft-hosting-plan-to-choose#paradoxo-da-escolha) Tables full of RAM, CPU and NVMe specs make anyone who just wants to play with friends freeze up. On [Minecraft Fácil](https://streethosting.com.br/en/minecraft-facil), the decision comes down to two questions: how many people play at the same time, and do you want vanilla or mods? ## The right question[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/which-minecraft-hosting-plan-to-choose#pergunta-certa) 1. How many friends join together on a typical night? 2. Will it be pure vanilla, or will it have mods and plugins? 3. Will the server be private or open to the community? Count the peak, not the average. If 12 players show up on the weekend, plan for Plus or SMP, not Party. ## Plans by group size[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/which-minecraft-hosting-plan-to-choose#planos-por-tamanho) ### Minecraft Party Friday night with the crew, vanilla survival, up to 5 recommended players. No mods or plugins. The simplest starting point. ### Minecraft Plus A group of 6 to 10 players, or anyone who wants light mods and up to 10 plugins. Small modpacks fit here. ### Minecraft SMP A growing community, up to 16 players, unlimited plugins and mods, medium modpacks. The most recommended plan on the site for anyone who wants to build an active server. ### Minecraft Pro (Fácil line) Large projects, heavy modpacks and lots of players online. When you need advanced networking or want to choose RAM in gigabytes, move to the [technical Minecraft Pro](https://streethosting.com.br/en/minecraft-pro). * **Party:** vanilla with friends, zero hassle. * **Plus:** light mods, mid-sized group. * **SMP:** a community with room to grow. * **Pro (Fácil):** big ambitions inside the casual line. ## When to upgrade[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/which-minecraft-hosting-plan-to-choose#quando-subir-plano) Signs it is time to upgrade: lag at peak, a connection queue, a need for mods on Party, or a community that outgrows the player cap of your current plan. * Party: up to 5 players, vanilla only. * Plus: up to 10 players or up to 10 mods/plugins. * SMP: up to 16 players, economy and events. * Pro (Fácil): heavy modpack or a peak above what SMP handles comfortably. * Minecraft Pro Ryzen: networking, hubs or technical sizing.

Pick yours on [Minecraft Fácil](https://streethosting.com.br/en/minecraft-facil#planos).

No big deal. You can switch plans when your group grows. Starting on Party or Plus and moving up later is the most common path. Can I use Party to play with mods? No. Party is pure vanilla, with no mods or plugins. For light mods, choose Plus. For unlimited plugins and a community, choose SMP. Do I need to calculate RAM before choosing? Not on Fácil. The plans are already sized by type of use. See the guide on RAM and CPU if you want to understand what is behind them. When should I move to Minecraft Pro with Ryzen? When you outgrow the Pro plan in the Fácil line, or when you need a multi-server network, a choice of gigabytes and dedicated Ryzen hardware at /minecraft-pro.
