    We will be building spawn in a few days most likely. If you are interested, please respond or send me a PM. Screenshots of your builds are welcome if you haven't been on the build team before.

    This is probably unrelated, but I'm considering coming back to the server after a long period of being gone. I updated and tried to get on Alice, but the thing came up with an error message saying it could build a java machine or something. I uploaded the log to pastebin, but I'm wondering if just a simple update isn't enough, and if like a new loader or something's come around since the last time I was on.

    Here's what the error message said after I updated and tried to launch:


    The game is running. Please wait.
    Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
    Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
    Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx4096M
    The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
    Process ended with code: 1



    Anyone know what that means?

    The launcher is probably using a 32-bit Java version because your 32-bit Java version is newer than your 64-bit Java version.

    Should just block the launcher from using 32bit java.

    Ohhhhh. Alice will come back to life, huh?
    Won't be able to help building, though. However, I'm looking forward to see some cool poeple back on again. :)

    So, if my current java is 32 bit, it won't run Minecraft, and I'd have to replace it with a 64 bit version?

    Well, don't assign 4 gigs to it through the launcher for one... Two should be plenty, and I usually actually knock it down as low as possible or else the game starts skipping when the GC cycles.

    If you give it 2 gigs MC should run just fine, 4 gigs is more than 32 bit can handle.

    Ok, but when I change the maximum from 4096 to 2096, I get this error message:


    The game is running. Please wait.
    Error occurred during initialization of VM
    Could not reserve enough space for 2146304KB object heap
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256M; support was removed in 8.0
    Process ended with code: 1




    So, I try upping the max memory, but each time the heap line gets higher, until I'm right back to 4096 and the original error message. My java says it's 32 bit, so is there another hotfix I could try, or should I just uninstall java and install a 64 bit version?
