    How do I expand the ram on my server to 13GB?? I've got 18GB on my comp in total. But I've got no idea what to do in the start_server.command to use 13GB of ram for my server! Is it possible?? And yes, Im using mac.

    Somewhere along the lines of:

    Code:
    java -Xmx13024M -Xms13024M -jar Bukkit.jar nogui
    PAUSE

    Since I don't use a Mac, I wasn't sure. What does your start_server command currently look like?

    Those lines work for me. But I've put the version in G. Also make sure you're running java 64 bits as 32 bits limits ram... You also need a 64bit OS.

    You might simply need to download Java 64bit... which I'm not sure if apple supports.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_Limit
    32-bit x86 RAM limit
    In non-PAE modes of x86 processors the RAM memory is always limited to 4GB.
    Limits on memory and address space vary by platform, operating system, and on Windows by whether the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE value of the LOADED_IMAGE structure and 4-gigabyte tuning (4GT) are in use.
    Limits on physical memory for 32-bit platforms also depend on the Physical Address Extension (PAE), which allows 32-bit systems to use more than 4 GB of physical memory.
    PAE and 64-bit systems can address up to the full address space of the x86 processor.


    Mac OS X
    Versions 10.4.4 through 10.5.8 of Mac OS X will run on both x86 and PowerPC processors. Version 10.6 and 10.7 version of OS X only run on an x86 processors. So far, all x86 Macs have used Intel (not AMD) CPUs. OS X versions that are compatible with x86 fully support PAE and the NX bit on all Intel Macs. Mac Pro and Xserve systems can use up to 64 GB of RAM. The Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) kernel remains 32-bit. Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) can be booted into a 64-bit version of the kernel on certain systems; Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) ships with a 64-bit enabled kernel by default.[10]

    I've done it. In server.props, I set it to 13312M. Anditworked! But sometimes, it still says Can't keep up! What's the prob? My wifi is epic, 13GB ram, butit still says can't keep up! Is this a plugin error or something? Do people with even MORE ram experience this warning as well?

    you are hosting this over wifi, that could be a problem (but not the can't keep up problem). No matter how good you think your wifi is, it won't beat the quality of a hard line connection

    the can't keep up message is probably related to your cpu, what cpu do you have and if it is overclocked what is it's speed.

    "Can't keep up" messages can also be that your hard disk is too slow. If you are running on a simple HDD instead of Raid or SSD or Ramdisk you will get these alot.

    It happens also when you have a lot of players on your server. It isn't a major problem as you can still play but it will cause block lag and such. It also means lower ticks per second (TPS). There is in theory 20 ticks per second.

    wifi doesn't do anything regarding server performance and the kind of lag you are getting.

  18. Can't keep up messages often mean that your CPU can't keep up with the server. What CPU does your mac have?
