I was simply travelling by boat in an open ocean (biome: Deep Ocean) while having my map of the region open in front of me. The framerate then got incredibly bad (debug was showing 0 FPS before the crash) and then the game crashed on its own, with the launcher showing the crash report (see attached).
The basic crash information is as follows:
Time: 12/22/13 12:00 AM
Description: Unexpected error
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Already tesselating!

Your Java version is out of date! Please update your Java to the latest version (1.7.0_45): http://www.java.com/en/download/.
When using a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit operating system the automatic version detection will only show the 32-bit version of Java, the 64-bit version needs to be downloaded manually: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
