How Do I Allocate More RAM to Minecraft?
Last updated
Ever found yourself wondering how to make Minecraft run smoother and faster? You’re not alone! One popular way to boost your game’s performance is by allocating more RAM to it.
Let’s dive right into how you can give Minecraft more memory to play with, ensuring a seamless gaming experience.
Allocating More RAM Through the Launcher
It’s quite straightforward to allocate more RAM to Minecraft. First, make sure you have the latest version of the Minecraft Launcher; this is where the magic happens.
Open the Minecraft Launcher and navigate to ‘Installations’. Pick the version you play the most and click on ‘More Options’. There, you’ll find a box labeled ‘JVM Arguments’. Look for a section in this box that reads -Xmx2G or similar. The ‘2G’ here represents the amount of RAM Minecraft is currently allocated (in this case, 2GB). To allocate more, simply change ‘2G’ to the amount of RAM you’d like to dedicate, such as ‘4G’ for 4GB. Remember to click ‘Save’ when you’re done!
