Minecraft RAM allocating, help me!

[H. Finner]

I am running a Minecraft forge server and I start it with a .bat file and I have this set on the bat file....

java -Xms4096M -Xmx8192M -jar forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10-universal.jar

It works for the Max amount of ram but I don't understand why the server will usually be using 400mb. Shouldn't it be a minimum of 4 gigs? It is laggy on the server and it's ridiculous.

Please help.

Hello Hunter Wideman,

Obviously the server only needs 400mb if it is only using that much. The reason it is laggy for that matter is what I ran into when making my server. I suggest getting Spigot aswell and using something called bungeecord and following the guide they provide on how to set it up. It worked for me. They provide a brief explanation on the website. You can find it here: www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bungeecord/

Cheers,
