Visual guide to allocating RAM

From Pixelmon Wiki

By default, Minecraft gives its clients 1GB of memory to work with. Pixelmon requires a bit more to work smoothly. If you're experiencing a lot of lag or the game is not starting, try this quick guide.

Your allocation is now set, and the game is now ready! If you get stuck on any of these steps or you are having trouble finding the right amount to allocate, feel free to ask in the official Pixelmon Discord.
