How much memory does a Valheim server need?
Updated 24 October 2026 · 2 minute read · Valheim · By Exclsv Support
Valheim allows 10 players without mods, so every plan has 10 slots and the plans differ by memory. Choose by what you run: vanilla, a small mod pack or a big BepInEx pack.
Valheim plans
The memory on each plan is reserved for your server.

| Friends | 6 GB | 10 | Vanilla | £11.99 |
| Community | 8 GB | 10 | Small mod packs | £15.99 |

Valheim plans and what each includes
Mods
Mods come from Thunderstore and run on BepInEx; pick mods or a modpack in HQ and it switches the server to BepInEx. The Modded plan has room for big packs. Mods only load with crossplay off.
Changing size later
- Moving up charges the difference for the days left in your billing period.
- Moving down pays the difference for the days left back to your card, or keeps it as credit if you prefer.
If it doesn’t work
The server stutters with a big mod pack
Look at memory in HQ while you play. If it is close to full, move up to the next plan.
