    The default memory limits seem a bit low (Mojang recommends 4096M for each
    of those for 26.3).
    
    Also seems a little cruel to have it default to a server version that we
    can't run the client for yet :)
    
    I realize the memory is just the default, but I'd probably double the limits
    at least.
    
    Otherwise ok kmos
