Minecraft (Java Edition)

Minecraft runs inside a Java Virtual Machine. RSM needs the direct path to your java.exe to ensure console capture and version stability.

☕ Identifying your Java Path

  1. Locate Installation: Usually in C:\Program Files\Java\.
  2. Find the Bin: Open your version folder (e.g., jdk-21) and open the bin folder.
  3. Copy Path: Right-click java.exe and select "Copy as path".
  1. Run your server manually once.
  2. Look for a log line like: installed at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin\java.exe
  3. Copy that exact path into the RSM Path field.

⚙️ Startup Arguments

To run Minecraft, you point to the Java executable, not the .jar file.

  • Path: Use your java.exe path found in the steps above.
  • Arguments: -Xmx4G -Xms2G -jar server.jar nogui
    • nogui: Required. RSM needs this to capture console output.
    • -Xmx4G: Allocates 4GB of Max RAM.

Pro-Tip: Isolated Java

If you use CurseForge or Prism, they download "Isolated" Java versions. Check their settings for these paths to ensure perfect mod compatibility.
