This is the Sources and Credits for the detailed Minecraft Java Arguments guide and is a part of the overarching Minecraft Performance Guide
The original information for the Java arguments guide came from brucethemoose/Minecraft-Performance-Flags-Benchmarks. Unfortunately, it seems the guide became stale and hasn't been updated in 7 months leading me to believe it has been abandoned. I have tried to contact the repository owner and had no luck in doing so, which is why I took the lead and made this entire guide originally. The original repository also has an MIT license which allows for this.
All credits for the original information goes to brucethemoose and the contributors of the above repository:
brucethemoose,
Godeps2891,
Radplay,
he3als
I have overhauled the entire look of the guide and brought it to a much more up-to-date standpoint and plan on maintaining it for quite a while moving forward.
I have also performed my own independent, extensive testing to ensure that accurate results and benchmarking have taken place.
These sources are the sources from the original repository which I felt like should be maintained here.
