## Ram Allocation

Allocating enough RAM helps the modpack run smoothly and can reduce stuttering, long loading times, and memory-related crashes. Follow the steps below to configure your memory settings.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the Modrinth App

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select Apex Cobblemon

*Open the **Library** tab on the left, then select **Apex Cobblemon***
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Open the Memory Settings

*Click the **gear icon** in the top-right corner, then open the **Java and memory** tab*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Adjust the Allocated Memory <a href="#max-memory" id="max-memory"></a>

*Enable **Custom memory allocation**, then use the slider or text field to allocate at least **4096 MB** of RAM (if possible)*

<figure><img src="https://i.gyazo.com/9c29de07cd585442bbc76e5c354432fb.png" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Avoid allocating more than 8192 MB. Additional memory is rarely necessary and may reduce performance rather than improve it.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set the Minimum Memory Allocation <a href="#min-memory" id="min-memory"></a>

*Enable **Custom Java arguments**, then add the following argument:*

```
-Xms4096M
```

This sets the modpack's minimum memory allocation to **4096 MB**. On systems with sufficient RAM, this should generally match the amount selected under **Memory allocated**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If your computer has **8 GB** of total RAM or less, set `-Xms` to approximately half of your maximum allocation. For example, use `-Xms2048M` when allocating a maximum of 4096 MB.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.apexcobblemon.com/info/installation-guide/modrinth.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
