Why Minehut's Rigid Restrictions Hold Your Community Back
A comparison between Minehut's walled garden and CoalByte's complete freedom.
Suffocating 1 GB RAM Hard Cap
Modern Minecraft versions (1.20+) require 1.5 - 2 GB RAM just to idle. On Minehut, 1 GB causes frequent Out of Memory crashes as soon as you install plugins.
Forced Lobby Routing & minehut.gg Lock-In
Players are routed through an ad-filled lobby hub promoting competitor servers. On CoalByte, players connect straight to your direct IP & port.
Artificial 10-Player Slot Ceiling
If your friend group or guild grows past 10 players, Minehut blocks connections and demands paid credit upgrades to raise the player limit.
