Hello Ashley,

Please note that this is a public forum, I will be responding to you in short period of time and I apologize for a delay in response. As I am merely a user trying to provide insight and information that may be helpful.

Are you playing vanilla? If you have any mods, try removing them all and see if you will get the same error. Mods can sometimes cause this error. What version are you running on your Java Edition?

I will be awaiting your response.

Regards,
Belle

Sorry the code should be -1073740791. I got messed up when i was researching for solutions.

Hello Daniel Woollard,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand you are having issues with Minecraft keeps crashing with this error code: 1073740791. Upon checking my resources here, this error code is usually caused by outdated drivers (especially graphic card driver) or by having the D3DGear installed.
If you have D3DGear installed on your system, please uninstall it. Also, Minecraft had this issue with a version of the Nvidia graphics driver that was causing Java games to crash.

For more information, please refer to this link: [MC-112780] [Fixed driver available] Game ended with bad state (exit code -1073740791) - Faulty nVidia driver 378.49 - Jira (mojang.com)

I hope this helps.



Sincerely,

Hi Mallusrgreat. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

This error means the game's VRAM usage has exceeded the amount of VRAM available to your GPU. Try reducing your game's resolution, this will reduce VRAM usage. However if the issue persists, it may be time to upgrade to a new GPU with more memory.

Issues with specific games are best addressed by the game developer. For more help with Minecraft, please visit the Minecraft Help page: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/

Thanks,
Kyle

Also on another note, that thread you linked me to is about a 2017 driver being faulty.

Most people now would not be using that driver so it shouldnt be the issue
