Hello, and thank you for coming to this post!
Currently, I have been finding ways to improve FPS on my Minecraft for a way to record. My FPS is nice when not recording, but when I am, it is very low.
So I have tried to allocate more RAM to the new launcher. I have 4 gigs of RAM, so I am trying to allocate two or three. When I tick "JVM Arguments" and launch the game, it says "Unable to Create the Java Virtual Machine. Shutting down game." and it sends me straight to the launcher again. I need more RAM to boost my fps so I can record.
Someone please help. Does my minecraft only need 1 gig of RAM? Or is this a fixable problem?
More RAM does not equal to more performance, please heed this advice. It will severely deteriorate performance overall. The main thing that governs performance is your GPU, and has nothing to do with RAM.
To answer your question however, you have only 32-bit Java installed. Which allows only 1.5GB allocation before it fails. This is the limitation of 32-bit Java. To remedy this, install 64-bit Java instead.
I will not recommend allocating more than 526mb of RAM to Minecraft. That is plenty for unmodded games, and for modded, a maximum of 1GB.

(Mind you, I have the newest version of Java)
