Bedrock Server will start consuming exponentially much RAM when using high slot amounts

Can you please elaborate on the problem and include steps to reproduce.

Are you saying that merely adding high slots and starting the server will immediately result in high RAM utilisation?

Please use the template below which helps include the information volunteers need to reproduce your issue:

Summary

This is a brief summary of what happens

Steps to reproduce...

1. Set X in server.properties
2. Run server
3. Connect to server and chop tree
4. GUI goes rainbow

What I expected to happen...

What did you expect to happen when performing said steps (sometimes this is obvious as it may be in this case)

What actually happened...

What did you see/experience

Summary

The server uses tons of RAM when using high slots

Steps to reproduce...

1. Set slots to 600000 (or any other high value, maybe lower / higher) in server.properties
2. Run server
3. Check RAM usage

What I expected to happen...

Server uses same RAM amount independent on slot amount (like in java)

What actually happened...

Server RAM either depends on slot amount, or it simply can't handle the slots and freaks out, using way too much RAM compared to normal slot amounts like 50

Hi Jorge,

Based on the how-to document this would appear to be expected behavior, excerpt below.

max-players Any integer 10 Always The maximum numbers of players that should be able to play on the server. Higher values have performance impact.
