I seem to have a memory use spiral when I try to load my world that causes a crash in just a few minutes. I have successively increased the memory available to minecraft, each time taking a few more seconds to fill up according to the F3 display. I also looked up a way to increase garbage collection but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Right now I am using the following java commands in my profile- -Xmx3G -Xms3G -Xincgc.
I'm not using mods of any kind except amidst (that's not a mod, right?), but I am working on a large project in the middle of a huge jungle. I set my render distance to only 4 chunks because I was having some framerate and strange behavior, I don't need to see much to work on the project. That helped for a long time, but now it is out of control. I suspect this might be due to a bug.
What should I do? I've tried moving away from the area I'm loading in but I don't have much time before it crashes.
If your world got corrupted you can try to repair it with MCEdit. Open the offending world in MCEdit, press 'ctrl-i' and select 'Repair regions' in the dialogue which pops up. Once this has completed, save your world and exit MCEdit.
You may also need to remove entities from the map, follow these steps. Warning: This will delete any and all entities in the selected region, including tamed animals! Open the map in MCEdit, select the affected region or use CTRL-A to select the whole world, then click on 'Delete Entities' in the menu on the left hand side.
To download MCEdit, go to http://www.mcedit.net/ and choose the version appropriate for your OS.
Ok, I tried to do the repair regions, and that didn't change anything, my memory still fills up. However, I noticed in MCEdit that there are a few nearby chunks that are totally missing. I suppose I might be able to fill them with rock or something in MCEdit, but I would prefer them to re-generate if possible so as not to mess up my jungle scenery. Is it possible to designate them as chunks that have not been created yet?
EDIT: Ok, I got them to work! Deleting the entities did the trick. I found the 'delete' and 'repop' functions in MCEdit, and minecraft seemed to generate plains on those missing jungle chunks, but I can fix that later I guess. Thank you very much for the help.
