That doesn\u2019t mean you will buy the cheapest solution available and get away with it. Not if you want good performance at least. The power of your dedicated server will limit your FPS and is directly related to the resolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re thinking about investing in GPU hardware, you will need to consider the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Graphics:\u00a0<\/strong>Minecraft can be played in fast or fancy settings. The second option means high-quality graphics, including increased rain particles and a black vignette in darker areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Render Distance:\u00a0<\/strong>If more chunks are visible at once, this requires more power. The settings allow you to have from 2 to 32 chunks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mipmap Levels:<\/strong>\u00a0This affects how smooth the textures look. The higher the level, the better the textures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind that when you choose unlimited frames, you might need a GPU to sustain the same option across all devices.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do mods make Minecraft slower?<\/h2>\n<p>Having a modded Minecraft server is a great way to customize the gameplay. However, the changes will add new features and increase the graphics, which results in more demands on your hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Shader mods can definitely slow down the processor, so make sure you read about the requirements before installing one. If you don\u2019t want lousy load times or other issues, having a GPU dedicated server is definitely going to help.<\/p>\n<h2>How to choose the best dedicated server for Minecraft?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about renting the hardware for Minecraft, you should invest in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blueservers.com\/dedicated-gpu-servers\">dedicated server with GPU<\/a>\u00a0from BlueServers.
