Can't run "gradlew build" not enough memory on heap error

[idontspam]

(in intellij IDEA)i've tested out the "gradlew build" in non build areas and it worked fine. but when i did it in the project it told me "Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for 3145728KB object heap". what gives?

This means you have a 32-Bit JDK, you should uninstall it and get a 64-Bit JDK

i do have 64bit jdk

 

[idontspam]

I would just uninstall the 32 bit JDK

I recommend specifying "org.gradle.java.home = C: / Program Files / Java / jdk1.8.0_241" in gradle.properties

specify the path to 64 bit jdk (NOT Program Files (x86)/Java , it's 32 bit)

this is what my gradle.properties file says

 

# Sets default memory used for gradle commands. Can be overridden by user or command line properties.
# This is required to provide enough memory for the Minecraft decompilation process.
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx3G
org.gradle.daemon=false

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx3G - Java can use a maximum of 3 GB of RAM.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xms3G - Java can use a minimum of 3 GB of RAM.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xms512m -Xmx4G  - Java can use a minimum of 512MB and maximum of 4GB of RAM.

org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_241 - Gradle uses that version of Java which is in this folder.

org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.8.0_241 - This installs the 32 bit version of Java (in Program Files (x86)).

#org.gradle.java.home=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_241 - I use this line when Linux is running.

You need to download jdk 8 64 bit from here and install it. Then here (C:/Program Files/Java/) you will have this folder jdk1.8.0_241. Now we just need to add this line to the properties file.

If there are problems, try to allocate more RAM.
