All The Mods 10 (ATM10) Server Hosting Guide

ATM10 is the absolute monster modpack of 2025. Over 500 mods. Polished endgame. And it needs SERIOUS hosting to run properly.

If you thought ATM9 was heavy, ATM10 takes it to another level. Let me show you exactly what you need to host this beast without melting your server.

What is All The Mods 10?

ATM10 is the latest in the "All The Mods" series and it's MASSIVE:

What's included:

• 500+ mods (yes, really)
• All major tech mods (Mekanism, Thermal, Industrial Foregoing)
• Magic mods (Ars Nouveau, Botania, Blood Magic)
• Exploration (Alex's Mobs, Biomes O' Plenty, dozens more)
• Building (Chisels & Bits, FramedBlocks, Macaw's everything)
• Performance optimizations (thank god)
• Polished endgame progression

Minecraft version: 1.20.1 (Forge)

This is the "kitchen sink plus the bathroom" modpack. Everything you could want is in here.

RAM Requirements - The Truth

ATM10 is heavier than ATM9. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

For 1-5 players: 14GB minimum

• 16GB strongly recommended
• You'll consistently use 12-13GB
• Spikes to 15GB+ during heavy chunk generation

For 6-10 players: 16-20GB minimum

• 20GB recommended for smooth experience
• Multiple dimensions loaded = RAM usage adds up fast
• Better to have headroom than crash mid-game

For 11-20 players: 20-24GB minimum

• 24-32GB if people are actively exploring
• ATM10's endgame has crazy automation = RAM intensive

For 20+ players: 32GB+

• At this point consider dedicated hardware
• Public server territory

Anyone telling you "8GB is fine for ATM10" is lying or hasn't actually tested it. The modpack is TOO BIG.

CPU Requirements - Even More Important

With 500+ mods, CPU performance is CRITICAL.

What you absolutely need:

• AMD Ryzen 9 5000/7000 series (5.0GHz+ boost)
• Intel i9 12th gen or newer
• High single-thread performance (4.5GHz+ sustained)

What won't work:

• Old Xeons under 3.0GHz
• Budget Ryzen 3/5 chips
• Any CPU that doesn't list clock speeds (red flag)

ATM10 has 500+ mods doing calculations every tick. Slow CPU = constant lag and TPS drops.

Storage - NVMe is MANDATORY

With 500+ mods:

NVMe SSD: The ONLY acceptable option

• Server start: 3-5 minutes
• Chunk loading: Instant
• Mod loading: Fast
• Zero lag from storage

SATA SSD: Will struggle

• Server start: 8-12 minutes
• Chunk loading delays
• Not recommended

HDD: Don't even think about it

• Server start: 20+ minutes
• Constant stuttering
• Unplayable experience

ATM10 loads thousands of mod files, textures, configs. HDD will make server start time unbearable.

Best Hosting for ATM10

Space-Node VPS Plans

For ATM10, you need their VPS plans not basic Minecraft hosting.

For 1-5 players: VPS-M (16GB) - €23.99/month

• AMD Ryzen 9 CPU
• 16GB dedicated RAM
• 200GB NVMe SSD
• Perfect for small groups

For 6-10 players: VPS-L (24GB) - €35.99/month

• Same great CPU
• 24GB RAM handles multiple players
• 300GB storage for worlds/backups

For 10-15 players: VPS-XL (32GB) - €47.99/month

• Handles busy servers
• Plenty of RAM for automation
• Can run multiple dimensions

Why Space-Node for ATM10:

• Ryzen 9 CPUs handle 500 mods perfectly
• Dedicated RAM (not shared/oversold)
• NVMe storage crucial for mod loading
• Full VPS access for optimization
• Support helps with JVM tuning

My Testing Results

Ran ATM10 on VPS-M (16GB) for 2 weeks with 8 players:

Performance:

• Server start time: 4 minutes 10 seconds
• TPS: 19.5-20 constant (perfect)
• Chunk generation: Smooth, no lag
• RAM usage: 13-14GB average
• Crashes: Zero

Player experience:

• No complaints about lag
• Automation worked perfectly
• Multiple people in different dimensions = still smooth
• Endgame content playable

The Ryzen 9 made a HUGE difference. Previous host with unknown CPU had constant TPS drops.

Server Setup for ATM10

Step 1: Download ATM10 Server Files

Get from CurseForge:

• Search "All The Mods 10"
• Download SERVER files (not client)
• Latest version recommended
• File size is HUGE (2-3GB download)

Step 2: Upload to VPS

Using FTP (FileZilla):

1. Connect to your Space-Node VPS
2. Upload ALL files (this takes 20-30 min)
3. Ensure server.jar is present
4. Upload mods/, config/, and all folders

Step 3: Set Java Version

ATM10 needs Java 17 or higher:

java -version

If not Java 17+, install it:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk

Step 4: Optimized Startup Script

Create start.sh:

#!/bin/bash
java -Xms16G -Xmx16G \
-XX:+UseG1GC \
-XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled \
-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 \
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions \
-XX:+DisableExplicitGC \
-XX:+AlwaysPreTouch \
-XX:G1NewSizePercent=30 \
-XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=40 \
-XX:G1HeapRegionSize=16M \
-XX:G1ReservePercent=20 \
-XX:G1HeapWastePercent=5 \
-XX:G1MixedGCCountTarget=4 \
-XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=15 \
-XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=90 \
-XX:G1RSetUpdatingPauseTimePercent=5 \
-XX:SurvivorRatio=32 \
-XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem \
-XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1 \
-Dusing.aikars.flags=https://mcflags.emc.gs \
-Daikars.new.flags=true \
-jar server.jar nogui

Note: Adjust -Xms and -Xmx based on your RAM (16G, 20G, 24G, etc)

Make executable:

chmod +x start.sh

Step 5: Server Configuration

Edit server.properties:

view-distance=10
simulation-distance=8
max-tick-time=120000

Don't go above 10 view distance or performance tanks with 500 mods.

Critical Optimization for ATM10

Pre-Generate Your World

ESSENTIAL for ATM10. Use Chunky:

/chunky world minecraft:overworld
/chunky radius 5000
/chunky start

Let it run for 12-24 hours. Pre-gen saves MASSIVE lag later.

Do this for:

• Overworld
• Nether
• End
• Any major mod dimensions you'll use

Disable Unused Mods

With 500 mods, some you won't use:

Check /config for mods you can safely disable:

• Unused decoration mods
• Extra world gen if you pre-generated
• Client-side only mods in server files

Removing 20-30 unused mods can save 1-2GB RAM.

Entity Limiting

In server configs, limit entities:

• Max mobs per chunk
• Item despawn times
• Automation limits

Prevents lag from massive mob farms or item overflow.

Regular Restarts

ATM10 NEEDS regular restarts due to size:

Set automatic restart every 12 hours:

crontab -e

Add:

0 */12 * * * /path/to/restart-script.sh

Clears memory leaks, keeps server fresh.

Common ATM10 Issues

"Server won't start / crashes immediately"

Usually:

• Not enough RAM allocated
• Wrong Java version (need 17+)
• Corrupted mod file

Fix: Check console for error, allocate more RAM, verify Java version.

"TPS constantly below 19"

Causes:

• CPU too slow for 500 mods
• Too many entities loaded
• Someone's automation is laggy

Fix: Use /forge tps to check, use profiling to find lag source.

"Server crashes during chunk generation"

Not enough RAM or slow storage.

Fix: Upgrade RAM, ensure on NVMe SSD, pre-generate world.

"Can't connect / Connection refused"

Check:

• Server actually finished starting (takes 4-5 min)
• Firewall allows port 25565
• Client has EXACT same mods

Player Count Reality Check

How many players can ATM10 actually support?

16GB RAM:

• 5-8 players: Excellent
• 8-12 players: Good if not all exploring simultaneously
• 12+ players: Will struggle

24GB RAM:

• 10-15 players: Excellent
• 15-20 players: Good
• 20+ players: Gets tight

32GB RAM:

• 15-25 players: Excellent
• 25-35 players: Good
• 35+ players: Need even more

This assumes normal gameplay. Heavy automation/exploration needs more resources.

Cost Analysis

Space-Node VPS-M (€23.99/month for 16GB):

• Perfect for 8 players
• €3 per player per month
• Professional performance

Trying to cheap out (€15/month "16GB" shared):

• Laggy for 4 players
• €3.75 per player
• Constant frustration
• Actually costs MORE per playable slot

The "expensive" VPS is actually CHEAPER per functional player.

Why ATM10 Needs Better Hosting Than ATM9

ATM9 had ~400 mods. ATM10 has 500+.

The 100 extra mods mean:

• 25% more RAM usage
• Higher CPU load
• Longer startup times
• More complex interactions
• More potential for lag

What worked "okay" for ATM9 won't cut it for ATM10.

Modpack Comparison

| Modpack | Mods | RAM Need | CPU Need | Hosting Cost |

|---------|------|----------|----------|--------------|

| ATM10 | 500+ | 16-24GB | Very High | €24-36/month |

| ATM9 | 400+ | 10-16GB | High | €9-24/month |

| Better MC | 300+ | 8-12GB | Medium | €9-13/month |

| Vault Hunters | 150 | 6-10GB | Medium | €5-9/month |

ATM10 is the most demanding public modpack right now.

My Honest Recommendation

If you want to host ATM10 properly:

For friend group (5-8 people): Get Space-Node VPS-M (16GB) for €23.99/month

• Split cost: €3-4 per person
• Actually works perfectly
• Worth every cent

For community (10-15 people): Get Space-Node VPS-L (24GB) for €35.99/month

• Professional performance
• Handles peak usage
• Room to grow

For public server (20+ people): Get Space-Node VPS-XL (32GB) for €47.99/month

• Can handle large playerbase
• Multiple dimensions active
• Stable endgame content

Don't try to run ATM10 on 8GB budget hosting. You'll hate life.

Final Tips for ATM10

• Backups: Daily automated backups (world is precious)
• Whitelist: Keep it private for stability
• Rules: Ban lag-heavy builds (massive mob farms)
• Monitor: Watch TPS and RAM regularly
• Update carefully: Test updates before applying to main server
• Community: Use Discord for coordination

ATM10 is the pinnacle of kitchen sink modpacks in 2025. But it needs proper hosting.

€24-36/month might seem expensive, but split between players it's nothing. And the alternative (laggy unplayable server) wastes everyone's time.

Invest in good hosting. Your players will thank you when the server actually works.
