How to allocate more RAM to forge server?

[Zaedrah]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I can't find the answer online. The "user_jvm_args.txt" explains how to do it somewhat, but I don't know where to put that line into. The txt file says this:

# Xmx and Xms set the maximum and minimum RAM usage, respectively.
# They can take any number, followed by an M or a G.
# M means Megabyte, G means Gigabyte.
# For example, to set the maximum to 3GB: -Xmx3G
# To set the minimum to 2.5GB: -Xms2500M

# A good default for a modded server is 4GB.
# Uncomment the next line to set it.
# -Xmx4G

Thanks!

 

Normally, I would just add the xml and xms into a jar file, but later versions of Forge don't have the jars.

Seems pretty self explanatory to me?

The # at the start of a line means it is a comment, you remove the #

I thought it was self explanatory as well except it didn't change the allocated ram. Any extra info would be appreciated.

i notice a change if i add the min and max ram in the line like this for example: 

 

# Xmx and Xms set the maximum and minimum RAM usage, respectively.
# They can take any number, followed by an M or a G.
# M means Megabyte, G means Gigabyte.
# For example, to set the maximum to 3GB: -Xmx3G
# To set the minimum to 2.5GB: -Xms2500M

# A good default for a modded server is 4GB.
# Uncomment the next line to set it.
-Xmx10240M -Xms8192M 
 

i need to make more experiments but for now this apparently works.
