Crafting/Inventory Menu Lag

Seems to be the only problem in my game. Everything else runs smoothly but when I press "e" to open inventory, it takes roughly 4-5 seconds before appearing, the game freezing in the meantime. Happens every time. I even updated the game from 1.10.0.3 to the most recent and am still faced with the issue. The every other menu seems to be unaffected and loads instantly, but crafting/inventoy (including the crafting table menu) has been slow. Graphics options don't seem to affect it.
