It's not really that bad either, I can open up Minecraft at any

It's mostly because, in Java, every one of those tiny immutable
`(x,y,z)` tuples and vectors have to be allocated on the heap.
D is nice because you can allocate such small things on the
stack, but it also doesn't have a massively optimized collector
either.
Either your kid has tons of mods in their Minecraft or your
computer is a bit dated.
Tons of mods is the only way I can (or more accurately, can't)
play MC anymore.
