Incredible guide! I was able to set up my own EC2 version of a server running in just a few hours. Thank you. I'm excited to try implementing the Lambda Functions

Have you run into this error? "Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? Running [####]ms behind, skipping [##] tick(s)".

I'm running on the T2.Small like you recommended but it doesn't seem to be enough. Thoughts?

Hello!

I am running mine on a t2.small (complete list here), it's a 1 vcpu and 2 GB of memory that fit the bare minimum for a Minecraft server. I am not observing such issues, but there is not a lot of load on the server (probably 2 users maximum !).

You can try to change and give a bit more memory (go to medium or large, and test both t2 and t3 - t3 is the latest generation so maybe more power for the same amount of money).

Good luck with the sizing, there is so much choice on EC2 😇
