Memory Leak on Mac

[AstronautG117]

Pretty often I seem to get a memory leak when playing online. I haven't tried single player so I'm not sure if it happens there. But I think it has something to do with world loading.

I can't seem to copy from the console, nor can I seem to make the window larger, so I took a screen shot of what it was saying.

And here is what it said in Minecraft itself:

I'm sorry for the vagueness of this post, if someone could tell me how, I can provide more information.

Not a memory leak but rather the ram allocation settings not implemented into the current version of the launcher.

So what you're say is that when I set those settings in the launcher, they don't actually do anything? Because I noticed that when I press f3 I only have something like 120 mb allocated, even though I put 8 gigs in the settings.

Hello.

Allocation isn't working on this current version of the Launcher, I think you can manually set it by running the launcher from command line.

First you'll need to navigate to the location of where you put that .jar.
Then you will need to get to the directory the launcher is in.
Finally, you will need to start the program with 1gb of Ram allocated.

Top right hand corner of the mac is the search function, search 'Console' or 'Terminal' then open it.

From the command line:
cd /home/users/macuser/whatever [I don't know where it is on your computer, hopefully you'll work it out]
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar ftbwhatever.jar [this'll start the program with 1gb of ram allocated]

Hopefully this will clean up some issues.

Yep! That helped a bunch! Thanks!
