ATM10 singleplayer runs the server and client on the same machine. This makes the requirements higher than a dedicated server with a separate client. Here is exactly what you need.
ATM10 Singleplayer Quick Answer
Minimum for singleplayer: 12 GB total system RAM, allocate 6-8 GB to Minecraft
Recommended for singleplayer: 16 GB total system RAM, allocate 8-10 GB to Minecraft
Best experience: 32 GB total system RAM, allocate 10-12 GB to Minecraft
When you play ATM10 singleplayer, your PC runs both the Minecraft client (rendering, sounds) and the embedded server (world logic, mod ticks, chunk generation) at the same time.

Can You Run ATM10 with 8 GB RAM?
Short answer: Barely. It will load but performance will be poor.
With 8 GB total system RAM, you can allocate at most 4-5 GB to Minecraft. ATM10 with 4-5 GB will:
- Take 5-10 minutes to load
- Experience frequent garbage collection pauses (stutters every few seconds)
- Crash during chunk generation in complex biomes
- Run at low FPS even with a good GPU
If you have 8 GB RAM, ATM10 is not a good fit. Consider lighter modpacks.
Can You Run ATM10 with 16 GB RAM?
Yes, comfortably. 16 GB is the recommended amount for ATM10 singleplayer.
Allocate 8-10 GB to Minecraft. This gives you enough for mod systems, exploration, and automation while leaving 6-8 GB for Windows and other apps.

Storage Requirements for ATM10 Singleplayer
| Content | Size |
|---|---|

NVMe SSD strongly recommended. Chunk loading during exploration is slow on HDD, which causes freezes while moving through the world.
