About this video: This video is our complete guide to RAM in Minecraft. Why would you want to dedicate more RAM to Minecraft 1.16.5? Well, RAM can be a great way to improve Minecraft performance without having to add mods or do anything like that. Minecraft is a Java program, so it likes to have a decent amount of RAM in order to run as efficiently as possible. Lucky, in this video, we tell you the exact amount of RAM you need for modded Minecraft and vanilla Minecraft in order to allow you to have the best Minecraft experience possible, so let’s jump on into it!

The first step of adding RAM to Minecraft 1.16.5 is actually seeing how much RAM your computer actually has. This is because we can't add more than this amount to Minecraft. In truth, you shouldn't add more than half of your PC's RAM to Minecraft. To do this, click the Windows icon in the bottom right of your screen. Then, search for 'System Information' and open the app that appears.

Once in System Information, check your system type first. Most likely, your computer is a 'x64-based PC' if not that's okay, you're just going to be doing something a bit different later on.

Next, check the 'Installed Pyshical Memory'. This is how much RAM your PC has.Again, you should add more than half this amount of RAM to Minecraft. For example, if you have 8GB of RAM, allocate a max of 4GB to Minecraft.

Now, if you didn't have a 64 bit system, you won't be able to add more than 1GB of RAM to Minecraft. However, if you do and you can't add more than 1GB of RAM, you need 64 but Java which you can download from our link in the description above.

Once you have Java setup, it's time to actually learn how to allocate more RAM to Minecraft 1.16.5. The first step of this is actually opening the Minecraft Launcher.

In the Minecraft Launcher, click on ‘Installations’ at the top. Then, over the Minecraft version you want to allocate more RAM to. Then, click the three dots and select edit. Then, click ‘more options’. Finally, you will see a JVM arguments box. At the beginning of this box you will see -Xmx2G. That is how much RAM Minecraft has ‘2G’. To allocate more RAM to Minecraft 1.16.5, change 'the number here to the amount of RAM you want to add to Minecraft 1.16.5.

How much RAM should you dedicate to Minecraft 1.16.5? Well, for vanilla Minecraft, 2GB is usually good, and it will never need more than 4GB. With modded Minecraft however, at least 4GB is recommended with 6GB and 8GB being even safer for modded Minecraft. Once you have decided on how much RAM you want to add, click save, and you are done!

After opening Minecraft 1.16.5, you can press F3 in game and see the amount of RAM you have given to Minecraft in the top right. This can be helpful to make sure you have actually added more RAM.

And there you have it! That is how to allocate more RAM to Minecraft 1.16.5 and how much DAM you should add to Minecraft.

I actually ran 40 mods with 2 gb of ram, yes, it was insanely laggy, but it astonished me

[arvedr]

At 03:58 starts the relevant stuff, would have been great if you had a note somewhere to be able to skip the basics. But it helped me nevertheless, so thanks.

[mcmurrey]

So I am doing it for a mod pack and I cannot figure out how to change it bc instead of it just saying like 6G it says 4020m and I’m not sure what to change it to

[rathisuhh]

THANK YOU omg it took me ages to find a good tutorial. now i can finnaly play without lag on mods

[justrelax]

Hey Nic I really hope you see this, I really could use your help with something, I have followed your tutorials to host my own Crazy Craft 3 server for my friends and it works incredibly and I very grateful for your help but I really need your help with something else. Due to the fact it is modded Minecraft, it has a tendency to go corrupt and we lose all of our progress. I was wondering if you could upload a tutorial onto your youtube which explains how to recover all of our progress. Very much appreciated

[duckwitbucks]

I didn’t know this was a thing, cool!

[wesley]

Love all your videos man keep up the grind my man

[monkegamer]

what would happen if i add more than half of my ram? edit: Do not try this, my pc is stuck and i can’t do anything. i am stuck on a black screen and since i’m in full screen i cant do anything. if your gonna do more than half then don’t do all of it.

[MultiDawidzio]

[RinbinRedTrackers]

[majorkawior]

[lucaslouback]
