Additional Arguments textbox
-version:1.8+ -XX:+UseG1GC -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=2147483646 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M

All Minecraft modpacks require you to allocate a certain amount of RAM for them to work properly. The amount depends on the modpack.
- Open the CurseForge App
- Click the cog icon in the lower left corner
- Go to the Minecraft tab
- Scroll down to the
Java Settings
section. - Use the Allocated Memory slider to assign RAM.
- Done!
Never allocate more than your PC can spare.
Total RAM (in GB) | Maximum RAM allocation (in GB) |
---|---|
4 | 3 |
8 | 6.5 |
12 | 8 |
16 | 8 |
Assigning more than 8GB is never recommend, as you may actually get worse performance. If you're using shaders or a high resolution resource pack, the maximum is 10GB.
Modpack | Recommended RAM |
---|---|
Enigmatica 2 | 7 |
Enigmatica 2: Light | 5 |
Enigmatica 2: Expert | 6.5 |
Enigmatica 2: Expert Skyblock | 6 |
Enigmatica 4 | 4 |
Enigmatica 5 | 6 |
Enigmatica 6 | 5 |
CurseForge defaults to using an old version that comes with Minecraft, so you have to set the version yourself.
