CPU recommendations for hosting heavy modpacks for a few players? [MCE2]

[/u/Ok_Volume2275]

Hi, I'm a bit lost trying to figure out which CPUs I should consider for my PC build. I'm building a living room PC that will be used both as a homelab and a game server.

I'm mostly interested in hosting heavyweight modpacks like MC Eternal 2 and similar, though I'll be hosting other games as well. I know that I need as good single core performance as possible and 16GB+ of RAM, but I don't know just how much performance I need.

-

Could you please share your setups if you're hosting MCE2 or other modpacks that are just as resource intensive so I could compare?

Just for those curious about what I'm cooking on a budget:
