RAM allocation not being accurate?

Hey, im using distant horizons along with complimentary shaders unbound. I did some research on how much RAM i should allocate and i am allocating 12GB (out of 32GB), but task manager says that minecraft never uses more than 5GB of RAM. Is this normal or am i not using optimised settings to allow for DH to use all 12GB?

It shouldn’t need it use all 12gb

if thats true then wouldn’t it work the same on 6gb

Not exactly as it would put more pressure to free the RAM on the GC and would made the GC run harder

I've noticed that allocating that much ram to Minecraft always makes task manager say that it's using more than what Minecraft is actually using Sometimes saying straight 10gb most of the time Prolly just java being java
