    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Using incremental CMS is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release

Issue resolved. I had allocated 4GB of RAM for my client itself in the JVM arguments, but it was apparently not enough. After setting it to 8GB, the world loads again.

Dupe of MC-32606. Broken Intel graphics card drivers.

Please be respectful to others or you can be banned from the tracker. There are notes in the bug I linked. Try following the steps and see if the issue still occurs. Thank you. 🙂

@unknown: This may be a short-term workaround, but the Intel driver still has fatal bugs and will crash again at some point, as long as your driver version is 10.xx.xx.xx or 20.xx.xx.xx and not 15.xx.xx.xx (see top left corner of the debug screen (F3))
And treat this as your final warning.

Kumasasa, I appreciate the comment, but I did look at the version of the driver and it is 20.19.15.4364

And I still receive crashes from it.

I have looked up other means, such as defaulting to my NVIDIA graphics card. Which seems to be the overall better option anyways, since it can handle a heavier load of work.

I apologize for vulgar language, but to be given a KB from 1.6.4 and told it automatically applies to what is going on to a version that has been out for 4 days, seems mind blowing.
