Fix Minecraft Java Crash - Java Heap Size

Create a Shortcut to fix Minecraft from crashing due to SE Binary Crash or Out of memory Crash

Step 1.
First find where you Java is located something like C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe

Step 2.
Paste in all the info into the short cut with your customized settings.

Step 3.
Replace Icon to look like Minecraft logo again.

Template:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar "C:\Users\username\Desktop\Minecraft.exe"



If you get:

Unable to Create Java Virtual Machine

This is may be because you are trying to allocate more ram to Minecraft then your computer an handle. Or because you are running 32bit Java on a 64bit Machine.

Solutions to this:

Try less ram in the target example:

-Xmx2048M -Xms2048M or -Xmx1536M -Xms1536M

Uninstall 32bit Java and Install 64bit Java (for 64bit Operating systems only!)

@ujustwastedurtime you cannot dedicate all your ram to minecraft try dedicating only 3gb or 4gb to minecraft. or even 2 gb to start. then move up from there
