It's not recommended to allocate more than half your installed RAM memory.

It's possible to play huge modpacks with just 8gb of RAM but there will be a lot of annoying lag spikes, even if the game normally runs at 200 fps, suddenly, every 5 seconds they will drop to 0 and shortly after they will go back to normal fps rates.
So more than 8gb is almost mandatory.
give it 5 or 6, no more.
But I suggest to upgrade to 16 and give it 8gb right away.
Also, close a lot of tasks using ctrl+shift+esc.

Curse PremiumAllocate more RAM. Some mods can require as much as 8+ gigabytes.
but i literally have 8 gb, is it safe to do it more than 4?
