Adding Ram to Server

[Hungrysnorlax]

I have tried editing the text in the .bat file for the server to "java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar" and other forms of that and the file will only run with the original text that was there.

On what OS are you running the server? Cause unix for example doesn't use the .bat file. Is it a dedicated selfhosted server or are you renting one somewhere?

It is a desktop windows vista os. 32bit with 2gb ram.

Try changing the line to

java -Xmx512M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar -nogui

afterwards press save and double click that .bat file to see what happends, if everything is right there should be no gui anymore (and saving mem that way)

In there is a link to the minecraft wiki, which has a section on how to add RAM

I already looked at the wiki before I made the thread. I tried that new text and it does not work. It starts a command prompt window like it should then that window simply closes.

if you are running a 32 bit operating system, java will not launch the server if you try to give it more than 1.5 gigs of ram (i think it was 1.5, it may be just 1, idr atm)

add PAUSE in the next line of the .bat file to keep the console window open.

java -Xmx512M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar -nogui
pause

edit: wait i see a goof in that... so much for copy paste

java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -jar minecraft_server.jar -nogui
pause

person i copied from had those reversed... bad Nessiroj!
