Minecraft 1.19.4 update released!

See: Minecraft v1.19.4 complete update status

This release comes with improvements to horse breeding and jukeboxes, new visuals for potions, new accessibility features and many new technical capabilities like the damage and ride commands and display and interaction entities.

Our first Ultra Premium Ryzen 9 7950x is now live and what a beast it is! This makes it the fastest Minecraft/CSGO servers to date! Available under our premium plans with an additional flat monthly fee of $5.

 

If your PC (or any connecting client PC) are using a large modpack and you have issues with connecting (such as timeout or slow frame rates) you may need to set a higher RAM value of the modpack's java instance. This is a client side RAM and does not affect the server.

This can be achieved from Minecraft Launcher before clicking "Play" to start the game.

Step 1) Go to the Installations Tab and edit the modpack settings as per image below





Step 2 )Choose More Options






Step 3) Look for -xmx and note the numbers after it. If it says 4096m then it means its set to 4GB RAM startup, which is default setting and this may be too low for large modpacks. Try increasing this number to 5000m for 5GB or 6000m for 6GB or higher (This depends on how much RAM you have on your PC, see notes below)



 

Step 4) You can now save it and launch the modpack



NOTES:
Before increasing the RAM settings for your modpack, you need to make sure that you PC has sufficient free RAM

Your Task Manager can show you how much RAM remaining you have, like in this case below, there is 31.9GB total RAM and only 47% is used so far. This means it is possible to start the modpack with 16GB of RAM but its a good idea to have a bit extra for the OS and other programs, so 14GB would be the maximum.

The long waited new generation of CPUs are here, Ryzen 7000 series! STIPE have acquired multiple 7950x and 7900x systems and have commenced testing & tuning in preparation for production release.

Server-grade hardware are still being manufactured so we may not see final release till early February 2023.

As part of the initial phase, the new upcoming CPUs will be under our Premium plans as an Ultra CPU upgrade option and are suited for those who have high demanding custom minecraft servers. It will also have improved world generation speeds and higher entity threshold.  (Pricing TBA)

More details to come. If you would like to be the first to be on these servers, contact our support team to be added to the list. Stock will be initially limited based on supply and demand.
