Hi.
This is due to how Minecraft servers work ( not MineOS). Take a look at this (old) post for an explanation:

Server Soaking up RAM

Hey Guys, Has anyone experienced this issue? I have a Skyfactory server running and have 10G of RAM allocated to it. There are 4 players on the server as its whitelisted. Every few days I check the Wed UI and it shows the server using nearly 11G of RAM, even though at any one time there may be 2 or 3 players on. When i stop and restart the server it comes back down to 6G. But always climbs back up. Any thoughts?
