Modpacks need more memory than vanilla Minecraft. If your game freezes on loading, crashes with "Out of memory", or stutters badly, give it more RAM.

> [!NOTE]
> This is the memory on **your computer**, for your game. Your Beacon server has its own memory, set by its plan.

## How much to give

| Modpack | RAM for the game |
|---|---|
| Light (under 100 mods) | 4–6 GB |
| Medium (100–200 mods) | 6–8 GB |
| Heavy (200+ mods) | 8–10 GB |

Leave at least 4 GB for your computer. Giving the game more than it needs doesn't make it faster and can make it stutter.

## Set it in the VoidsWrath launcher

1. Open the VoidsWrath launcher and go to its **Settings**.
2. Find the **Memory** (or **RAM**) setting.
3. Set it to the amount you want and save.

If you can't find the setting in your version of the launcher, the modpacks it installs can also be played through the **CurseForge app** or **Prism Launcher**, which both let you set memory.

Start the game again for the change to apply.

## Still running out of memory?

- Close other heavy programs while you play.
- Check you're on 64-bit Java. The launcher's bundled Java is usually fine.
- Remove shader packs and very large resource packs to test.

Playing on a Beacon server? The server needs enough RAM too. See [How Much RAM Does a Modded Minecraft Server Need?](/knowledgebase/modded-minecraft-server-ram).
