⚠️ IMPORTANT — RAM ALLOCATION WARNING

PLEASE READ BEFORE LAUNCHING THE MODPACK!

Shaderly Optimized is configured to use approximately 2000 MB (2GB) of allocated RAM.

Some versions or configurations may display a warning stating:

"You have allocated 2000 MB of RAM, but the minimum recommended amount is 2500 MB."

✅ YOU CAN SIMPLY CONTINUE!

If this warning appears, you can ignore it and proceed with launching Minecraft.

You do not need to increase your RAM allocation solely because of this warning.

The modpack has been configured with a 2GB RAM target, and its included optimizations are intended to help reduce memory consumption.

In the current configuration, automatic memory warnings are disabled, so this pop-up may not appear at all.

Important notes:

• 2000 MB is the recommended allocation configured for this modpack.

• 2500 MB is the warning threshold defined in the Memory Settings configuration.

• The warning does not automatically mean the game will fail to launch.

• Actual stability and performance depend on your hardware, shader settings, and world complexity.

• Some computers or demanding shader configurations may require additional memory.

Remember: 2GB refers to the RAM allocated to Minecraft, not your computer's total installed RAM.
