I was running the game for a while (+10 hours, sometimes in the background) and I tried changing the render distance. The game hung for a bit, then crashed, bringing me to the launcher. I tried launching the game again, and it immediately crashed, but the second time I launched it the game continued to run until I tried loading a world. The third time it loaded up fine, and I could even change the render distance.

Update: During that last game instance, I closed the world and tried opening another world, and the game immediately crashed. On starting the game again it had moved the new world to the top of the list, and it loaded up just fine. All of this is on single player.

I could not find the requested crash logs. The only logs in that directory were from almost a month ago, and the launcher log was already overwritten. I attached the ones that the game did give me, with my username removed.
