Does anyone know how to add more memory to Minecraft for 1.12? My game is out of memory, and even though it doesnt say it is, 2 chunks in one of my worlds switched places, so I know that I'm out of memory. Please help.
Also, before you just say "Look it up", I had this same problem last year, and I spent 4 months trying to figure out the problem before my cousin figured it out in a day somehow, but I want to figure this without his help.
Also I have Minecraft (soon to be) "Java Edition" on a Windows 7 Laptop if that helps at all.
Since you mean hard drive space and not RAM then you need to delete stuff off of that hard drive.

Uh, no. My computer has over 300 GIGABITES free. I'm asking how to ALLOCATE some of that memory to Minecraft.
Also, RAM isnt Memory. RAM is what you use to start up/launch the game and then how it preforms, while Memory is where all of that stuff is stored to. And I've tried adding more RAM to my game before, and it did nothing except give me false hope that my problem was fixed.

RAM is also commonly referred to as "memory", as RAM is short for Random Access Memory. Both Windows and Mac will refer to RAM as Memory. Hard Drive space is also referred to as Memory.
You aren't making sense in your problem though. If the Minecraft install file and world file are on a hard drive with a lot of free space, you don't need to allocate any hard drive space to the game. In fact, you can't really allocate space to anything like that, short of something like making a disk partition and putting only Minecraft in that partition. But even then, Minecraft will only use exactly as much memory as it needs to, whether you are talking RAM or HDD space.
You need to be more clear in what you are asking, including a crash log or screenshot of the error, as well as system specs and a screenshot showing the HDDs on your PC so we can see the space on it. Also the path to your Minecraft install and the world file would be helpful.
My best guess now is either simple confusion or that your computer has a "System" partition and a "Storage" partition, and that Minecraft is installed in the full System partition but you are seeing free space in the Storage partition.
Also I totally spaced that this is a support thread so I am requesting it be moved to support. If it is still here when I get home I'll put it in the correct section myself.

Badprenup has you covered on information above. It's impossible to allocate memory (hard drive space) to Minecraft. You need to allocate more RAM, though. Do you know how much RAM your PC has?

My evidence is that 2 chunks in one of my world switched places, and the last time that happened to me my game was out of memory. Also my computer has 6 RAM i think, but its not RAM that I need because I've added more RAM to Minecraft multiple times and it did nothing but give me false hope that my fricken problem was fixed.

Your evidence does not carry any meaning. There are lots of reasons why two chunks could get switched, although many of them have small chances of happening.
Either way, we cannot help you fix your problem without you providing the information that was asked. "two chunks were switched" is not helpful information.

And I don't mean RAM, I mean M-E-M-O-R-Y.
I post things about stuff. Exciting, I know.

Sounds to me like that specific world is corrupted somehow.
