      So I was trying to play some minecraft with my friend, so I hopped on a server and started playing. Almost immediately, I got a warning that said I was using 56.88 Gigabytes of RAM. Keep in mind that my mac only has 8 total Gigabytes of RAM, so I thought it was a visual bug. I closed out of the message my mac gave me, but it just instantly kept coming back. I got off the call with my friend (which was not on my device), I left and rejoined, I restarted minecraft, I even tried a different client (lunar client). Nothing was changing. It wasn't just multiplayer as well, all of 21w41a was bugged. This was not a malfunction in my computer nor a virus, as I checked activity monitor and It showed the same results (minecraft was the only thing open). The fans were also whirring like crazy. I don't know which snapshot this started in, but even in the official 1.17.1 release, I was lagging like crazy with normal settings (render distance: 8 chunks). This is not my mac's fault, I'm sure of it; it ran other games and other versions such as everything before 1.17.1 perfectly fine, even at crazy settings (render distance: ~24 chunks). If you could find what is causing minecraft to use so much memory it displays impossible amounts in a warning screen, please fix it ASAP.

      Thanks and have a nice day,
