Need Help Increasing RAM Allocation to Server
Hello I need help increasing the ram allocated to my server. I have tried multiple online tutorials but they have not worked for me.
It is a modded forge 1.6.4 server (I did not create the server pack I am using one I found on technic launcher)
The mods are ones used on S8 of Epic Proportions. The server pack is called Epic Proportions Season 8
The server has a .bat file and it contains this information (in th picture of the note document) in it but it its not increasing the ram allocation.
When I run the .bat file for the first time this comes up (shown in the command prompt)
after I do "y" then this happens and I do not know how to fix it (second picture of command prompt)
In the screenshot of the notepad is what the .bat file shows when I open it up to edit it
I do not know what any of this means but does it have anything to do with why I cannot allocate more ram? It is not a hardware issues as I have 32gb of ram in my PC
I don't even know if this is the right place to post this.

what is that start bat????
I have never seen this before
I don't know. I found this server pack on technic after trying to run these mods on a server
If I run the jar file the server will run but I'm having trouble allocating more ram
That error is from a wrong version of java
So I need to install the correct one?
Well yes
! Javaver
Recently, the Java version recommendations for Minecraft became more strict
For Minecraft <1.17, Java 11 is recommended.
Minecraft 1.17 won't start without Java 16 (or newer).
Minecraft 1.18 won't start without Java 17 (or newer).

I will try that and attempt to install java 11
I installed Java 11 I think but the same thing still happens when I run the .bat file.
do java -version
oh nvm it still says 17.06. how do I change it?
in your startup bat file replace
java with "your/java/location/java.exe"
you will have to find where your java jdk is installed and replace that will the path
for example my start bat file "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_331\bin\java.exe" -Xms2G -Xmx6G -jar server.jar noguii think i downloaded the wrong thing or something i got jdk 11 but im lost from here
open the bin folder
in there
if theres a java.exe in there
ur at the correct spot
oh i just found the java.exe in the bin folder
alright
copy the path
and just follow this
Do I need to double click the java.exe and run it?
no
follow what maven said
ok so I need to copy this?
yes
and add on \java.exe
ok
should I delete the rest of the text out of the file? and just leave what I am trying to change
yes
i feel i am doing something wrong
did u include "
""
where do I need to put that
well follow mavens exmaple
example*
copy this
and change
4G accordinglyfor 1.6.4, you'd probably want to use Java 8 if it didn't work. I don't believe Java 11 will work with 1.6.4
they might mean 1.16.4, but if it is 1.6.4 then java 8 is the one
oh i need to install java 8 then cause it is 1.6.4 thank yall so much for the help ima keep trying when i get back from work
omg i think its working
thank yall so much
I have been working on this for over 6 months
How do I know if the server is using the right amount of ram that I set up for it
Its capping out at 2.5 gigs in task manager
if it doesnt need it
it wont use it
Ok I just didn't know because it was still lagging a little bit so I thought it would use more
