I was having a problem with anytime I would start a single player game or multi player the launcher would crash as soon as I got going. No real good information was in my log so I started trying fixes. I first verified what version of Java I am running.
Open Terminal -> type "java -version"
For me I was on: java version "1.6.0_43" But if you are on 7 you will need to do this process
Next I had to make sure I had enough RAM allocated in the launcher
Options Tab -> Ram Maximum slider.
I set mine to 4GB
Then click the "Advanced Options" button and add this
to the Additional Java Options.
This solved my problems. Hopefully this helps someone
