The Dwellers Server Hosting

We recommend 5 GB. The pack carries only 52 mods, so memory is rarely the limit at startup; the pressure comes from entities and loaded chunks once players spread out. If your group likes to split up and explore in different directions, or you plan a large build at base, an extra gigabyte gives the dweller AI and chunk ticking comfortable headroom.

The pack is at its best with a small group of friends. Horror depends on players being separated and vulnerable, so a crowded server works against it: more people means more noise, more torches and fewer moments alone in the dark. A handful of players who stick together sometimes and split up at the worst possible moment is exactly where The Dwellers shines.

Take a backup first, then install the newer build from the Modpacks tab. Read the changelog for removed mods, because a world saved with a mod that disappears can lose its blocks or entities. After the update, every player needs the same build in their launcher, otherwise Forge rejects them at login with a mod mismatch error.

Yes. Upload extra Forge 1.19.2 mods into the mods folder over SFTP and install the same files on every client, unless a mod is strictly server-side. Be careful with removals: pulling one of the horror mods out of a running world can delete its entities and weaken the atmosphere the pack is built around. Test changes on a copy of the world first.

Many horror packs centre on a single creature that follows you all game. The Dwellers spreads the threat across several dwellers plus Herobrine, so you cannot learn one pattern and relax. It also stays lean at 52 mods on Forge 1.19.2, which makes it lighter to host than kitchen-sink packs that bolt horror onto large tech and magic progressions.

Often, yes. In single-player you control the pace and can pause whenever you like. On a shared server the world keeps running, a friend can stir up trouble right where you were about to walk, and voice chat turns every strange sound into a group panic. Players who wander off alone quickly learn why the pack is built around being watched.
