memorysettings mod in All the Mods 10

This pack ships memorysettings at version 6.0, using the file memorysettings-1.21-6.0.jar. It has been part of the pack since version 2.26 or earlier, so it isn't a recent addition.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have don't describe what memorysettings does, who it is aimed at, or any settings it adds. I can't confirm its features from them, so I'm not guessing.

Unverified No quests in this pack involve the mod, and it isn't on the ATM Star path. Nothing in the sources places it in the pack's progression, and there are no pack-specific recipes or config changes to report.

The memory settings mod is about how much RAM you give the game, so your first steps here are about checking your memory setup, not crafting anything. The pack's config file controls when you get a memory warning, and this page walks through the values in the order they are worth checking.^[2]

Know the client and server minimums

The pack sets the client's minimum memory warning threshold (minimumClient.minimumClient) to 6,000 MB. The server minimum (minimumServer.minimumServer) is 4,096 MB. Both are values the pack chose, so if your game gets less memory than these, expect a warning.^[2]

Check the recommended memory table

The recommended values are set in pairs of system memory and recommended memory, in MB. The pack lists 16,000 with 8,000, 32,000 with 12,000, 48,000 with 12,000 and 64,000 with 12,000. The setting is [[config:config/memorysettings.json#recommendedMemory.memory values]].^[2]

Know the upper limits and tolerance

The client maximum (maximumClient.maximumClient) is 32,000 MB and the server maximum (maximumServer.maximumServer) is 128,000 MB. The tolerance (warningTolerance.warningTolerance) is how many percent your memory may deviate from the recommendation before you get a warning, and the pack sets it to 200.^[2]

Warnings and the guide link

Warnings are switched on in the pack, since disableWarnings.disableWarnings is false. The mod's screen text includes buttons labelled "Open guide" and "Stop showing". The howtolink.howtolink option sets the link that guides players to a website with instructions for changing memory allocation.^[2][3]

This mod doesn't add machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation. The sources only show a configuration file, and it describes a memory (RAM) warning system. So the "mechanics" here are the thresholds that decide when the game warns you about your memory allocation.^[2]

Minimum and maximum thresholds

The client and the server each get their own minimum and maximum memory warning thresholds, measured in MB. The config describes the minimum as the lowest value that still keeps the pack playable. It describes the maximum as a generous ceiling with some headroom over what the pack needs.^[2]

• Client minimum: minimumClient.minimumClient is set to 6,000 MB in this pack.^[2]
• Client maximum: maximumClient.maximumClient is set to 32,000 MB.^[2]
• Server minimum: minimumServer.minimumServer is set to 4,096 MB.^[2]
• Server maximum: maximumServer.maximumServer is set to 128,000 MB.^[2]

The config text says the minimum defaults to 2,500, with a minimum of 2,500 and a maximum of 25,000. This pack's client value of 6,000 and server value of 4,096 are changes from that default.^[2]

Recommended memory by system RAM

[[config:config/memorysettings.json#recommendedMemory.memory values]] maps the total memory of a system to a recommended allocation. Each entry is written as system memory:recommended, in MB.^[2]

• A system with 16,000 MB is paired with a recommendation of 8,000 MB.^[2]
• Systems with 32,000, 48,000 and 64,000 MB are all paired with a recommendation of 12,000 MB.^[2]

Warning tolerance and turning warnings off

warningTolerance.warningTolerance sets how many percent your memory may deviate from the recommended value for your system before you get a warning. This pack sets it to 200.^[2]

disableWarnings.disableWarnings turns the memory warnings off entirely. It is false in this pack, so the warnings are enabled.^[2]

howtolink.howtolink holds the link used to point players to a website with instructions for changing their memory allocation. This pack points it at a hosting provider's RAM allocation guide.^[2]

Every option in this mod's config file is about the memory warning you get when the game has less RAM than the pack wants. All the values are in MB. Here is how this pack sets them.^[2]

Values the pack changed

• minimumClient.minimumClient is 6000 in this pack. That is higher than the default the option's description gives, so you need more memory on the client before the warning goes away.^[2]
• minimumServer.minimumServer is 4096. The description gives a lower default, so the pack raises the server minimum too, but not as far as the client one.^[2]
• warningTolerance.warningTolerance is 200. It controls how many percent your memory can deviate from the recommended amount for your system before the mod warns you. The pack's value is above both the default and the maximum that the description mentions.^[2]

Maximum thresholds

maximumClient.maximumClient is set to 32000 and maximumServer.maximumServer is set to 128000. These are the upper warning limits. The descriptions suggest choosing a generous maximum with some extra headroom over the recommended amount.^[2]

Recommended memory by system RAM

[[config:config/memorysettings.json#recommendedMemory.memory values]] maps your total system memory to the amount the pack recommends, in the format system memory:recommended. The pack sets these pairs:^[2]

• 16000 MB of system memory: 8000 MB recommended.^[2]
• 32000 MB of system memory: 12000 MB recommended.^[2]
• 48000 MB of system memory: 12000 MB recommended.^[2]
• 64000 MB of system memory: 12000 MB recommended.^[2]

Warnings and help link

disableWarnings.disableWarnings is false, so the memory warnings are switched on. This matches the default given in the option's description. Setting it to true would disable them.^[2]

howtolink.howtolink sets the link that guides players to a website with instructions for changing their memory allocation. In this pack it points to an external how-to guide on allocating more RAM.^[2]

The memorysettings mod has been in the pack since early on, and the pack has only ever bumped its version. All the Mods 10 8.1 ships version 6.0, using the file memorysettings-1.21-6.0.jar.^[1]

Pack release timeline

• All the Mods 10 2.26: memorysettings was added at version 5.6.^[4]
• All the Mods 10 2.28: updated from 5.6 to 5.8.^[5]
• All the Mods 10 2.29: updated from 5.8 to 5.9.^[6]
• All the Mods 10 7.0: updated from 5.9 to 6.0, which is the version you get in 8.1.^[1][7]

There is no pack update between 7.0 and 8.1 that touches this mod, so 6.0 is what you are running now.^[1][7]

Unverified What actually changed inside the mod between these versions is unverified. The pack changelogs only record the version bumps, and there are no stored changelogs for the shipped jars.
