JVM Arguments - Already there(?), or feature request.

[Sakata]

Well, I did a google search, trolled this site for 3 hours, and have done this several times in the past as well.

This question gets asked over and over again, and no real answers come of it, just the same things over and over about disabling a certain mod, or whatever.

So here it is: How does the user properly define the arguments used by the launcher to 'launch' a mod? I have several options that I want to use that will increase my old-as-hell computer's performance with the modpack I use -- and so far the question has been asked more times than I care to count with no real answer given a single of those times.

Is there a flat-file that I've just not found after poking around in the technic launcher files, or are java options hard-coded by whoever makes the launcher? If it is a flat-file that is user-editable, please, can someone tell me where this is?

If it is not currently user-configurable, I would ask for this as a feature of the launcher. It would put control where it belongs, in the users' hands -- devs can't realistically predict what is best for every user out there, and some of us know our computers well enough to know options that will work much better for our machine and modpack than the ones that are used. This is a feature in almost every launcher aside from Technic (that I've tried at least), and having this feature would be greatly appreciated for those of us that know what we're doing.

Dredging this up from months ago to say the exact same thing.

 

It strikes me as very very strange that a platform as robust as the Technic Launcher doesn't give the user control over JVM arguments, when even the vanilla Minecraft launcher does.

 

There are some optimizations you can throw in as arguments which make a night and day difference in how a modpack laden Minecraft runs, and Technic doesn't give access to them.  On behalf of myself and other users who know what they're doing, we'd really like the option to be able to tweak our settings a bit more than the minimal "maximum RAM" option we're given now.

Yes, this is easy. Simply edit the version.json file that is in the binmodpack.jar file. All of the startup parameters can be tweaked/added there.
