    Can anyone help me out here?

    Log: http://pastebin.com/QgeNG6fy

    PC Specs: AMD Radeon 7730M, 4-c0re i5 3230M @ 2.60GHz and 8GB of ram.
    Java V. installed: 7.60

    Not sure what the error here is but there are 370+ [SEVERE] throughout the log.

    Hope I can get it to work soon!

    Thanks :)

    According to the log, you seemingly only have 989 mb allocated to launching SKCraft. If you were using normal Minecraft, that probably would work perfectly fine, but when you take into consideration that you're running loads of mods...1.5 gb+ would suffice.

    Solution: Open the launcher and locate the button that says "Options" at the bottom right corner. Change your maximum and minimum memory settings to any number between 1500-5000 (any number above 4000 is most likely unnecessary). Try starting it up and see if it works.

    Also, seeing many "[SEVERE]" errors in the log is perfectly normal, so you shouldn't worry too much about them.

    EDIT: If you run many background processes, you will want to use a lower setting for your RAM amount allocated.

    Makes sense.

    Well, allocated 3GB (3,072MB) and got this:
    Code:
    The game is running. Please wait.
    Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
    Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
    Error occurred during initialization of VM
    Could not reserve enough space for object heap
    Process ended with code: 1
    I understand the error but unfortunately have no idea how to fix it.
    Any ideas?

    You appear to be using 32-bit Java. Make sure you that install 64-bit Java and try again. 32-bit Java cannot request that much memory (3 GB) due to limitations of being a 32-bit program.

    You may have to set the path to 64-bit Java manually in the launcher if it fails to detect the right Java version to use.
