Installation Configuration
Fine-tune every aspect of how Minecraft runs for each installation. All settings are per-installation and don't affect others.
| Configuration | Description | Example Values |
|---|---|---|
| Game Directory | Custom location for installation data. Leave empty to use global directory. | D:\Games\MC-Modded |
| JVM Memory (-Xms/-Xmx) | Minimum and maximum heap size for Java. Higher = better performance for modded. | 2048MB min, 8192MB max |
| Custom JVM Arguments | Advanced Java flags for GC tuning, performance, and debugging. | -XX:+UseG1GC |
| Window Resolution | Default game window dimensions on launch. | 1920x1080, 2560x1440 |
| Java Version | Specific Java executable path. Auto-detect finds best match. | C:\Java\jdk-25 |
| Mod Loader Version | Pin specific Fabric/Forge version for stability. | Fabric 0.15.3, Forge 49.0.3 |
Allocating too much RAM (over 12GB) can actually hurt performance due to garbage collection pauses. 4-8GB is ideal for most modpacks.
