Constant crashing

The game constantly crashes on me. I have force quit the game but it continues to do so. The major issue I am having with this is when it crashes. Randomly lose items that I am carrying. So far I have lost 4 diamond axes, 2 steal axes, lots of cobble stone, and 32 bricks of coal, 6 cobble stone axes, 4 horses (1 of them had diamond armor on it and a saddle. Its getting more and more frustrating playing when i am constantly loosing items due to game crashes. 2 of the diamond axes were only half used and 2 were brand new. Both of the iron axes were new. I have searched online and i see that numerous people are having this problem with the constant crashes. Is there any patch being done that is planed to resolve the problem. For a little background. It happens at all times and doesn't seem to matter what I am doing.
