I know it's for Java, but I've already updated it and I don't know what to do. I have the memory for MC set to 3GB Min and 5GB MAX.

Interesting, what is your setup like? What mods are you using and how are you running MC?

This is a odd... error...

Anyways as a temp fix you can try adding something along the lines of -XX:MaxPermSize=128M to your command line

[Furious1964]

Already added that line to my batch file and it seems to be working. But I set the limit to 256M. Is this a good size and what does that line effect?

[LexManos]

That is the amount of memory allocated to cleaning up class files.

Something you have installed in churning through class files immensely.
