In this guide, we will show you what to do when encountering an Out of Memory (OOM) error in Minecraft. OOM errors can cause random crashes in the game and are typically indicated by an Out of Memory: true message. We will explain how to fix this issue by adjusting the RAM percentage in your server settings.
