Hi, this has been happening recently.
I usually try to create a world (usually superflat WITH structures) and I'll get to the "Loading World – Building Terrain" but it usually just sits there. When I tried to make one before, I actually got the message that I DID run out of memory, but the one I'm trying to create now is not responding.
I think this started around 12w37a-12w38a – I know it just started a few weeks ago, before I got 1.4.2pre. If it's something to do with programs, all I usually have open is Google Chrome, Spotify (though I usually close it out) and the Minecraft program itself.
And for this session, all I had open was Minecraft and Google Chrome. Sometimes, if it's really laggy (and I mean REALLY LAGGY), I will close Google Chrome, although it still crashes sometimes.
EDIT: I have 1790MB of RAM. (Random Access Memory)
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm)Processor 2650e, ~1.6GHz
Any help will do!
Alyx 🙂

This is NOT a bug. As you said in the title, Minecraft ran out of memory. Either you have to allocate more memory or just get a new computer.

I'm guessing you have less than 512mb free memory available and thus java hits a hard-cap trying to allocate more eventhough the vm was started requesting that amount of memory?
We need machine specs 🙂
You should do the following:
1. Click on START (yes, in the taskbar)
2. Go to RUN
3. Type dxdiag
4. On the first page, there is a line which shows you how much RAM you have. It should look something like Memory:---- RAM or something like that. (I have Windows in French D:, no, I am not French.)
5. Read the number, then tell us how much RAM you have.
RAM=Random Access Memory.
The more you have, the more your computer can do at once. Of course, it also depends on the CPU's strenght. For example, if you have a 3 GHz CPU and 0.5 GB of RAM, then you have a problem. On the other hand, having a CPU of 0.75 GHz and 8GB RAM won't help neither.
TL;DR The more RAM, the faster MC will run.
Just edited my 'specs' into the description. 🙂
It's a 4-year-old laptop.

Hey, don't say his computer sucks. Mine has 1GB of RAM and I still run MC in 80 fps.
I'm a girl.
