This modification is simple. (FOR WINDOWS)
Paste this into notepad:

@ECHO "Starting with more RAM!"
javaw -Xmx4096m -jar "C:\WHEREEVER YOU MINECRAFT LOADER IS\minecraft.exe

Once you have pasted that, insert your location where it says "WHEREEVER YOU MINECRAFT LOADER IS"
Example: "C:\Users\Minecrafter\Desktop\minecraft.exe

READ THIS OR IT WILL NOT WORK!!!!!!!!:
Save your notepad document as:
Minecraft+RAM.bat

Now save it to wherever you want (the desktop works best)

To run your minecraft with more RAM, just run on the Minecraft+RAM.bat
From there, Minecraft will load up with more RAM.

Any questions? PM me.

The current author of Optifine says that you should open RAM with less memory if you want to increase FPS. I'm no programmer but I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about.

You are correct. If you overload the system with RAM it will make it slower than it should, one Gig to 2 should be Fine.

Probably because a 32 bit OS/java cannot handle more than 1024m...

And the reason it could do that, is if you set it to use more RAM than you have free - in which case it'll start using the pagefile, and slow down everything instead.
Starting Minecraft with more allowed RAM should be no issue at all if you have the free RAM - I'm having no issues, regardless of letting it have more, or default.

Some people get crashes because they don't have enough RAM allocated. Depends on computer and mods that you're using. This fix is required to play for longer than 10 minutes for some people (including myself).

interesting mod, this is...isnt it?[/sarcasm]

[aSakofDonuts]

i use this line in my bat file using a 64bit OS and 64bit java with 4 gigs of ram, i allow minecraft 3gigs

javaw -Xmx3072m -Xms2048m -jar "Minecraft.exe"

if you use a 32 bit OS you'll be limited to lower amount even if you have more physical ram, i think it maxes out at around 1400mb that you can use, so it'd be something like

javaw -Xmx1400m -Xms1024m -jar "Minecraft.exe"

i have the .bat file and .exe both on my desktop so thats y i don't need "C:/"



if you want to see all the stuff loaded in the console for minecraft or help with displaying errors that crash minecraft all you need to do is remove the "w" from "javaw" and add a pause, so it looks like this

java -Xmx3072m -Xms2048m -jar "Minecraft.exe"
pause

Mods doesnt actually have to be adding new things it could also be modifying files

Which is why he added the /sacrasm tag. This isn't a mod because it isn't modifying any files. all it's doing is telling java to open with more memory via some pretty basic scripting.

This goings in more of a tips/tricks section. If he had a premade .bat, it would go in tools.


Also, old news is old. Optifine will increase your performance more anyways.

[Boutchoo]

This is not a mod. Only a Tips tjat make your Computer even slower

[MinecraftHerobrine]

This will make minecraft increase fps?

[zeRobuRn]

It will increase the allocated ram for Java to run in but I still only have ~200mb allocated for minecraft to run in. Any way to increase that?

[Bulluk]

awesome this worked :3
thanks

[YoWazzup]

Does it edit the Minecraft.jar? no, not a mod

32 bit operating systems can have up to 4 gigabytes (4096m)
