On my laptop its 4gb ram total and I allocated 320 MB memory per instance but after the recent Modrinth App update (v0.9.0) we can NO longer allocate memory lower than 512 MB and I am unable to run multiple instances, (I know I can add more RAM to my laptop but still there should be ability to allocate 320MB of ram same like before)

Describe the solution you'd like

Ability to set minimum memory below 512 MB

Describe alternatives you've considered

Switching to Prism Launcher because that allows allocating memory below 512 MB

Realistically, you are not going to be playing Minecraft with 320 megabytes of memory.

Switching to Prism Launcher because that allows allocating memory below 512 MB

I tested this. I created an instance on Prism Launcher using Minecraft 1.0 and allocated 320 MB. Just loading into the menu, it had used more than 400 MB of memory. Loading into a world with minimal graphics settings, it was close to a gigabyte. Using more modern versions used even more memory.

Indeed it uses more than 320-400 MB of memory but still for some reason my 10 years old laptop with 4GB ram was able to launch 2 instances of minecraft before and now after this update its not able to launch 2nd instance anymore
