The PlanB Hardware

Behind the scenes, we’ve got serious tech magic. One beefy server, tons of servers and world, almost no lag. Here's how we keep PlanB running smoother than a creeper in sneakers.

🖥️ PlanB Hardware & Tech

The servers that make the magic happen.

What Powers PlanB?

Unlike many Minecraft communities that rely on shared hosting (where multiple servers share the same resources), PlanB runs on dedicated hardware. That means:

  • We're not squeezed onto a box with 50 other random servers.
  • No lag because another server is running a 10,000-chicken redstone clock.
  • No surprise shutdowns or overloaded CPUs.

We lease a high-performance machine in a secure, state-of-the-art datacenter. Every bit of power is reserved for our community — and only our community. That gives us the freedom to host multiple Minecraft servers, seasonal events, modded adventures, and even other games like Palworld, Satisfactory, and ARK.

The Tech Specs

🧠 AMD Ryzen™ 7 3700X – Octa-Core
💾 64 GB DDR4 ECC RAM – For silky smooth performance
💽 2 x 1 TB NVMe SSDs (RAID 1) – Fast and redundant storage
🔐 Located in a top-tier datacenter with reliable uptime and security

More Than Just Minecraft

Thanks to our setup — and our use of the Pterodactyl Panel — we can quickly deploy and manage a wide variety of servers. Whether it's the latest Minecraft modpack, a new season of Vanilla SMP, or spinning up a new server to try out a trending survival game, we can do it — fast, reliably, and with full control.

Why It Matters

This setup gives PlanB:

  • Stability – We’re not relying on a provider’s oversold infrastructure.
  • Scalability – We can grow into new game modes or community ideas with ease.
  • Control – We manage and maintain every inch of the system ourselves.
  • Performance – Low lag, smooth ticks, and quick support when things go wrong.
