~ 06/03/2012: I am no longer updating and providing support for this project ~

Please make sure you use the right file, and that Java is updated!
Download Java here: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR 32BIT COMPUTERS. IF YOU HAVE A 32BIT PC AND YOU HAVE AT LEAST 4GB OF RAM, TRY USING THE 1.25GB OR 1.5GB FILES FOUND IN THE FOLLOWING DIRECTORY: Windows > Minecraft.exe Client .bat Files > 64bit OS, 64bit Java directory

This simple batch file launches Minecraft, but with the amount of memory specified in the batch file, not at the default 1GB amount. This helps eliminate the 'Out of Memory' issues and other issues using high definition texture packs. It uses the concepts applied by server wrappers to manage jar files while providing a relatively smooth experience for the end user.

If this does not work for you, edit the batch file to show the appropriate location and version of Java on your computer. To adjust the amount of RAM used, Xms is the minimum amount while Xmx is the maximum amount. (1,536MB = 1.5GB Ram, 2048MB = 2GB of Ram).

**MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH RAM TO ALLOCATE!**
~ GAME VERSION DOES NOT MATTER! ~

Works Great With Optifine!

Please think about what you're posting in the comments before clicking that Submit button! :)

Instructions:
1) Choose the appropriate file (the sizes in GB are amounts to give Minecraft, not what you have in your computer!)
2) Copy the batch file (.bat) to the same directory (folder) where Minecraft.exe is located.
3) Run the batch file from now on to allocate more memory.

It's just a batch file that runs on its own. Nothing else is needed, and it doesn't need to be updated.

Just a fyi for all you mac users out there, There is a simple terminal code you can use to boot minecraft with more memory:

java -Xmx(memory amount)m -jar '/path/to/minecraftlauncher.jar'


If you are using the minecraft launcher app, do this to get the minecraft launcher jar. right click minecraft.app, show package contents>contents>Resources>Java>minecraftLauncher.jar
