Does it though? There's a non-trivial amount of data being loaded (and generated) all the time.

You have mentioned modpacks. Those can be HEAVY. And a single not well programmed block can bring down and entire server.

comparing minetest (a c++ minecraft clone) and minecraft gives the following memory usage upon starting on a blank new world. Also, minecraft takes five times more time to launch.

  smem  | grep mine
