Describe the issue

A clear description of what the issue is. Whenever I or my friend launch the pack it proceeds to use large amounts of ram (up to 16 gigs) without stopping. We were both using the latest java version and this issue didn't happen on other technic packs.

Make sure you do not allocate more RAM than necessary for Hexxit II, 3-4 GB should be fine. Allocating too much RAM can cause many issues, you can read more about it over @morerokk's comment: xJon/The-1.12.2-Pack#671 (comment)

-Ram usage is up to 6000 MB and keeps increasing past the amount I set it to (4 gigs)

-The ram my game was set to

My friend and I have both tried the various ram amounts. From 3 to 10 gigs and in each situation the usage would still go past the limit we set. In one case my friend set it to 8 gigs and left it open. After about 10 minutes it was up to 16 gigs of usage.

Java will try to allocate more RAM when it can, this does not necessarily mean there's a leak, although when an excessive amount is allocated (such as 8 GB) you can get many problems as I've mentioned. If your system would need the extra memory you'd see the Java allocation going back down to 4 GB.
In any case this is not an issue you should be concerned about, but thank you nonetheless for reporting!
