For some reason, my server only wants to use less than 512MB of RAM, and I don't know how to change it. I have 8GB of RAM, so I'd like to change it to use about 1.5-2GB. Any help?
If this is a private server, then right click on the Start.bat (or whatever you named it). Its the one you double click to start the server. It should look something like this: @Echo OFF SET BINDIR=%~dp0 CD /D "%BINDIR%" "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx512M -Xms512M -jar craftbukkit (version #) PAUSE Simply change the memory values to what you want. In this case (same as my settings) it should be: @Echo OFF SET BINDIR=%~dp0 CD /D "%BINDIR%" "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx2GB -Xms2GB -jar craftbukkit (version #) PAUSE EDIT: What operating System are you running?
Are you using bukkit? or vanilla? any mods? I use vanilla, and honestly, no matter what my memory allocation, it never really goes over the 500-700 mb range, under any load. I can only attribute this to recent optimizations to the core code of Minecraft in the recent patch. I could be wrong, but that is my speculation.
The more the better. When using world edit to insert huge schematics, the ram usage spikes up to 1.2 gb for the largest ones for me at least
