Do plugins take up that much RAM?

How much(typically) RAM do plugins take up?

I know, It's a STOOPID question, But on all the forums, Everyone is moaning on about RAm this and RAM that, So I just want to set the record straight

Thanks

Depends on the plugin.

 

There are some very light weight plugins, but the majority of plugins use around 20-50MB of RAM but plugins like SurvivalGames would use anywhere from 50MB-1GB of RAM.

 

It's spelled stupid.

 

That's a stupid response. At least help him out instead of just commenting on how he spelled a word incorrectly...


Jimmy_McDonagh The amount of RAM a plugin uses typically depends on what it does.

Plugins which rely on multiple events (e.g. logging/permissions plugins) will use more RAM than those which only fire on a specific event (e.g. a flight plugin).

 

RAM used by plugins is generally not too high. (Please don't hate me I know there are exceptions). RAM Problems are usually caused by minecraft/bukkit itself.

 

That is a relative question that can't really be answered.
For example, DynMap is relative to how many players are on.

You have to test it yourself.

 

You can easily test how much a plugin takes about. You can use visualvl to view all instances of objects. Just filter for the package of the plugin. A plugin can also take only a few bytes

 

Warning, We have a genius over here. Its called a joke, Its supposed to be spelled like that
@afistofirony thanks
