minecraft uses 1,617.3mb of memory

What is your render distance set to?

Render distance is on 16 

It also happens with me in 16 render distance even in even in 1.16.221. It goes sometime when you open other application and reload the game again.

Version: Minecraft 1.16.221

Cpu: Ryzen 5 3500u(laptop)

Ram:8gb
