This might seem like a really basic question, but how do I increase the amount of RAM on my vanilla server? The computer it is running off of has 8GB so what would be a good amount to allocate? At most only 5 people will have access to this server.

ok I think it worked. A command window popped up and disappeared rather quickly. Thanx for the help.

I understand that for five people 1GB is probably enough, but could someone tell me how to increase it anyways. I am using the .exe
By default it is only about 100MB with the exe version. Are you using the minecraft_server.exe or minecraft_server.jar?
ok, however some custom maps recommend more RAM. So should I just ignore this?
With only 5 people the default 1GB should be fine. I've got a dinky little laptop with 1GB RAM allocated to Minecraft for my bro and me and we're doing perfectly fine memory-wise.
