Craftland data usage

Post by Red » Fri Jul 29, 2016 12:19 am

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone know how many mbs craftland uses per hour (on average) since I am going away for the weekend and bought a dongle with 1gb of data on it. While I wouldn't image that it is a lot, the info would still be much appreciated

Thanks :)

Edit* Data usage when it comes to internet, for example playing pokemon go on 3g/4g on your phone uses around 10 mb per hour

Bonus question* if I use the in game radio, like the MP3 player, will that eat up my data, like is it streamed from a radio station or is it pre-loaded? I assume that it will eat up my data.

I've ran 1GB allocated before, it crashes a few times but runs fine other than that, assuming the rest of your computer is somewhat good.

EDIT: Also the more worlds and chunks you load, the quicker you'll crash because you have no memory, 2GB+ would be ideal. I would guess that it would cap at like 1.5GB but I am sure it could go higher, I can gather more info if you'd like

EDIT 2: I just did some testing and it generally stays between 200-400MB but sometimes will spike higher :)

That's memory usage, not data usage. Hey only has 1gb of data.

In response to the original question, I'm not sure, but there is some code admins can run to see the network usage. I can give you the numbers when I get back home.

Ok thanks nick I appreciate it, hoping that you will get back soon though since I believe I am going away in the next couple of hours but I will wait for you to update the post and read up before I come on I guess.

My bad, I should have looked at the question with more caution. It would have helped if I knew what a dongle was

No need for you to check anymore nick, I did some testing myself, cl uses about 50mb per hour however it seems if I turn on the radio it switches between using 100kb/s to around 1mb/s so I won't be using that unfortunately
