Server options

The XMage server locates by default the configuration file from the current working directory to the relative path config/config.xml (config\config.xml in Windows). To change this location, start the server with the property xmage.config.path set to the desired location, for example -Dxmage.config.path=config/otherconfig.xml. The option can be set from the XMageLauncher in Settings > Java > Server java options.

Performance tweaks

If you have a good GPU, it's very likely you'll be able to increase performance by a lot through extra Java flags.

XMage runs on JRE 8, so this link should give you the available flags.

How to enable the extra flags

  1. Launch XMage
  2. In the menu bar from the launcher, click on "Settings", which will open up the Settings Window
  3. Go to the "Java" tab
  4. You can pass extra flags by editing the "Client java options" text field
