Launcher doesn't use Java Args config

[ouroborus]

I'd like to set some java arguments but, as near as I can tell, the launcher doesn't actually apply anything entered into the Java Args config field.

It indeed does not apply any user submitted java arguments in the options menu. From what I understand it was purposely done so people don't go copying random things into there and then complain something broke.

Err, so we get to complain about it not working at all? =P

Alright, fair enough. Though it seems like bad UX to me.

How do I go about adding args then?

Without this ability in Technic Launcher, the work around currently appears to be to switch to a launcher (e.g.: Twitch) that does allow me to break things as I see fit.

I guess I can also pull the resulting command that's generated (via Process Hacker) and turn it into a .bat file. As a bonus, I don't have to deal with the launcher constantly trying to update the modpack.
