I have only recently had an issue with my Minecraft. I allocate around 4GB of RAM for MC and have never ran into much of an issue. I use the "-Xmx" and "-Xms" method inside the MC launcher to allocate the memory. I had recently found another way on this forum by going into Java's control panel and using "xmx----m". I did not know which method was better to use. Now this is where my issue has risen.
I was playing the other day and my client had crashed. Not a big deal, as I do run a decent number of Mods (I only post here because it concerns the Vanilla launcher, no 3rd party launcher). I then relogged and noticed an EXTREME amount of lag. When I mine a block, it breaks then reappears then pauses for about 2 seconds and then falls to the ground. I have a Smeltery from Tinkers' Construct and when I pour out molten metal into a cast, it fills up, then continues to re-fill a few times before becoming solid. When it does, it lags back and forth between molten and solid a few times. When I open a chest it shows an empty chest for about a second and then becomes full. I also have a beacon at my base for Speed, but when I even stand still, it becomes buggy from Speed to normal. As if you sprint for a moment then walk then sprint and so on.
I HAVE NO IDEA why this has happened. I did not change anything in the days before the crash. I now try to set 4GB of memory for MC in both the Java settings and the MC launcher, but I top off at ~2.2GB. It rises just fine until that point and then plateaus. It seems as if no matter what I try to change it just won't exceed 2GB.
I have tried reinstalling Java. I removed all traces of Java, then installed the latest version. I tried a system restore, with almost no success. I am running out of options. I assumed that my world had a lot of memory intensive objects (custom mobs, lots of lava and flashing images like IC2 geothermal generator) so I tried restoring from a save file I had from before the crash. Still no luck. This is both frustrating and upsetting. I do enjoy MC a lot, and wish to play without any, well without a lot, of problems.
Any advice at all is extremely appreciated and I am all ears to suggestions.
Thank you for taking time to read.
