By default, Minecraft only uses a limited amount of RAM, which can lead to slowdowns, especially when running resource-intensive mods or large worlds. To allocate more memory to Minecraft, follow these steps: - Launch the Minecraft Launcher. - Go to the "Installations" tab. - Select the Minecraft version you want to modify. - Click on the three dots (...) next to the version name and select "Edit". - In the Edit Installation dialog, locate the "JVM Arguments" box. - Look for the line that starts with "-Xmx" and specifies the maximum amount of RAM allocated to Minecraft. - Increase the value after "-Xmx" to allocate more memory. For example, "-Xmx4G" allocates 4 gigabytes of RAM. Be cautious not to allocate too much memory, as it can cause performance issues or crashes. - Click the "Save" button. After making these changes, Minecraft will launch with the increased memory allocation, which can help improve performance and reduce lag. Note: The exact steps may vary slightly depending on the version of the Minecraft Launcher you're using, but the general idea should remain the same.
