Are you using modded or un-modded Minecraft? Also, show us the full crash report, not a small section of it.

With logs shown, it initially used 1000MB of RAM and spawned a 4th process (log viewer), but quickly reduced back down to low usage. CPU usage was not affected by the 4th process. (2nd screenshot)

I tried it again on a Windows 10 machine. Again, even after leaving the program running for 10 minutes, it still used barely any resources.

On this computer, it still never used more than 70MB of memory between all of it's 3 instances (two background processes, one foreground app) and more than 0.3% (scale of 1-100%) of the CPU. This is definitely more than the resources used on macOS, but that's still barely any consumption.

As an experiment, I ran the old java launcher, and interestingly it used far more resources than the new one, peaking at 5% of the CPU and 300MB of RAM.

Maybe it's something your computer is doing simultaneously that's causing the launcher to allocate 500+MB of RAM?

Could you make a couple screenshots like the ones Ravbug made? Maybe that gives someone an idea why you are experiencing this.

Arceus does not belong in Suliqu, and therefore is not in the Suliqu Pokédex.

That is strange for it to use that many resources. I left the program running for 10 minutes and the CPU usage never peaked above 3% and it never used more than 37MB of RAM. I will note that 23 threads is a bit much though.

I've not had any issues with resource usage despite having a 32 bit computer (OS) with only 3.25 GB of (usable) RAM, barely more than my old computer, which had 3 GB, the main difference being a much better CPU and GPU. Maybe the people that do think that Minecraft requires 8 GB of RAM to itself, when I've never seen it allocate 100% of even 512 MB, stabilizing at around 60-70% after several hours of gameplay, and that's with mods (the high resource usage of many mods is due to poor programming practices, and probably the way Forge works, as opposed to directly modifying the code as Mojang does when they add new features; vanilla memory usage has not increased much since Beta or even earlier despite the equivalent of a major modpack's worth of features being added. Even 1.8+ does not need that much memory, just a good CPU so the garbage collector can deal with its excessive object allocation without affecting performance. The main reason for more memory is if you use higher render distances, as memory usage is mainly dependent on render distance and is a square function).

Why is Arceus not in the Pokedex? Is it not obtainable in the game?

And uses 10 times as much system resources.[/b]

If it's just going to a white screen, then it's probably the display driver crashing. Experienced the same issue on Windows 10 before I ditched it and installed Windows 7. Never experienced the issue since. Try using another OS while playing Minecraft. If Minecraft doesn't cause the white screen to appear on the other OS, then it is a problem with Windows 10. Otherwise if the white screen appears again in the other OS, then it is a hardware issue.

A major vulnerability for ALL websites that use CloudFlare have been affected by an exploit known as CloudBleed. This exploit has allowed for passwords for millions of websites to be leaked, including MinecraftForums and possibly other Minecraft-related sites. It is suggestion that you use 2FA(2-factor-authecation) and changer your passwords for any accounts on any sites immediately, since a huge number of sites were effected by this glitch.

You can view the unofficial lists of sites effected by this exploit(it's really long and curse.com is at the top of the list) here: https://github.com/pirate/sites-using-cloudflare

You can read the official statement about this bug by CloudFlare here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/incident-report-on-memory-leak-caused-by-cloudflare-parser-bug/

Also, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I was rushing to get this out as this is one of the biggest CloudFlare vulnerabilities in the past few years.

The whole point of having automatic crash reporting is so that they don't have to rely on poorly worded bug reports to fix issues, and so they can see if a fix they applied for a previous issue actually worked on all devices. The device ID generated by HockeyApp is randomly generated and don't mean anything; same with the session and user ID's. They don't identify who you are in any way. On top of that, none of the data being sent would contain account info, emails, or other data that would actually be considered personal data, so what's the problem? The data sent is completely useless for any purpose other than to get performance and crash reports.

Any website you visit can find out more information about you than what's listed in Mojang's crash reports; for example, a website can know: what device you're using, what OS you use, whether or not your battery is charging, how long it's been charging for, and what percentage it's at, what city you live in, how often you visit the site, and more, all without your knowledge or consent. So to worry about something as tame as crash reporting is completely misplaced.

Well as soon as I see "Microsoft" in the name of the offending files, then I have every right to assume it is Microsoft. Also, even if the data isn't personal, I still don't want it to be upload data to a huge database. Either way, here is an image of the file: http://imgur.com/2GHEILR

If what you say about the crash reports doesn't contain personal info, then I should not have to blur anything out. This is the most recent file I found in the folder. My User, Device, and Session ID is listed, which is unique to my Device. Which means they can find out more info about my device if they wanted to.

And like I said before, it is not hard to remove a small little development feature from the public release.

HockeyApp is used for in-house beta testing. The public release of the game doesn't use HockeyApp at all. The only reason it remains in the app is because they don't keep track of to separate versions of the app for in-house beta-testing and public release.

So put your tinfoil hat away, Microsoft isn't using Minecraft to spy on you.
