Besides the RAM used in actually running a world (holding chunks and entities in memory) the map is by far the largest contributor to RAM usage. Adding new blocks, items, registering new NPCs, and so on, doesn't actually use much memory at all. It is only once those things come into a world that they start to take up memory, and even then the amount of memory used by a single entity or block is far less than that used in loading the biome map, and a chunk which has a thousand different blocks doesn't use any more memory than a chunk which is entirely one block type.
