I've uploaded 2 screenshots for people to see that even though 4GB was allocated, it's consuming 7.7GB and I haven't moved that far from spawn with my render distance set to max. This is on a vanilla instance, no forge or fabric.
The second Screenshot is me travelling 1800 blocks and now 9.1GB is being consumed.
This is not the same issue, MC-166005 states that crossing chunk borders cause stutter, my issue states that there is a memory leak where chunks that are out of your render distance aren't removed from the memory, and would even consume over the RAM limit, say I put a limit of 4GB for minecraft to use, it will proceed to use 20+ if I load enough chunks. All of this is only on client side, I haven't experienced anything on the server I'm hosting on another computer (has arch linux like my main computer)
Not 100% sure, but I'll say it sounds like it.
