Every game has a base memory footprint. On top of that, each player and each mod or plugin adds a bit more. This calculator uses real-world benchmarks from thousands of servers running on our infrastructure to estimate your needs.
The result is a recommendation, not a hard limit. If you are unsure, start with the recommended plan. You can always upgrade to a larger plan later.

Yes. You can upgrade to a larger plan in the client area; your files and worlds are kept. Start small and scale when you need it.
For games that support mods or plugins, you can enter the count. Each mod adds a small amount of RAM overhead. Complex mods like modpacks are handled separately with higher base values.
