Allocating Ram to Forge Server

[20201453]

My forge 1.12.2 server is very slow and laggy. The reason is probably because every 5 seconds, the console spits out this message (or smth like it):

 

Running 15ms behind! Is the server overloaded? Skipping 60 ticks (example, but keeps sending messages just like it)

 

I've been trying to allocate ram to fix this issue. How can I do this on 1.12.2? There is no jvm args.txt, like in 1.20.1.

You can allocate more RAM in your startscript

java -Xmx4G -jar server.jar

@TileEntity Where can the startscript file be found? I've tried looking up 'startscript' in my server folder, yields no results.

How do you start the server?

@TileEntity It's a forge server. I double-click minecraft forge.jar and minecraft-server 1.12.2.jar and it opens. Simple and easy. Wouldn't have done it without your help. Thanks for that, by the way!

To start a server with jvm arguments, create a text document and paste
 

java -Xmx4G -jar forge.jar
pause

Just make sure the server.jar name is matching with the file name

Then rename the text document to start.bat

Then you can start this server with this file

-Xmx4G allocates 4 GB RAM to the server
