### Default JVM Options

- The game now allocates 4 GB of RAM by default (up from 2 GB)

- Garbage collection has been changed from G1GC to ZGC for compatible devices

- **Developer's Note**: The default memory allocation has been bumped from 2GB to 4GB to make the game run smoother and reduce stutters. Furthermore, with generational ZGC, you should see a more stable framerate – especially when operating memory heavy tasks. If you're running Minecraft on a machine with less than 4GB of RAM – please refer to [this help article](https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/39083573916941-Fix-Minecraft-Java-Edition-Game-Crashes-by-Checking-Memory-Allocation). If you want to change the garbage collector – please refer to [this help article](https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/41950300066573-Change-the-Garbage-Collector-for-Minecraft-Java-Edition). Third-party launchers may not support these changes.
