MC server 64bit?

[MaartenDG]

Hello

 

I have a minecraft server but i can't allocate more than 1500MB Ram or so. Now that's not enough for 8 players.

I think the issue is that my MC server is running on 32bit Java. My question is: how do i get it to run on 64 bit java?

 

Thanks

 

btw: this is my startup command in windows powershell (because cmd doesn't work ("could not acces jar file"))

java -Xms512M -Xmx1200M -jar server.jar

Give us some more info -

 

Is the server running on your PC, or are you talking about a dedicated server?

 

How much RAM does the machine have overall?

 

Have you installed 64-bit Java on the system?

sorry my bad

 

Server is running on my windows 10 pc with 16GB of RAM overall.

Java is: java SE runtime environment version 8 update 211

Does Java show up as 32 bit or 64 bit in your Programs and Features area?

Thanks for the replies!

 

I uninstalled all java on my pc and reinstalled Java 64bit and now the server starts with ""unlimited"" RAM as in i don't need the command to dedicate the RAM but the command still doesn't work so i'll figure that out and hopefully not break anything in the proces

 

Thanks!!!

 

edit: I don't know how it works since i can't find the java files but it works  .

java cant only use 1/8 the amount or ram available in you system (means minus system+software ram usage)

 

this is why you cant allow more than 1.5G in -Xmx and minimum ram needs to be half of it witch gives you in fixed ammount possible 512M in-Xms

 

cant quote where i fouund those usefull info thought, hope it helps
