When starting a new world in the snapshot (on survival but may work on creative), some part into the second day there is frequent frame drops and it continues for the rest of the days. I haven't noticed many frame drops on the first day though

I experience lag spikes every 3-4 seconds that lock the screen. This begins within a minute of playing in snapshot 21w44a and makes gameplay impossible. I am playing hardcore survival.
It does not happen when I switch to 17.1
It did not happen in previous snapshots.
I have rebooted with no improvement.
Have you tried increasing the allocated RAM from 2GB to something like 4GB?
If you don't know how, it's in the installations tab, hover over the Latest snapshot, click the 3 dots and edit, then clicks More Options, scroll down, and change the 2 (in -Xmx2G) to 4 or higher. I don't know if this is the exact solution to your issue, but I had a very similar problem and doing this fixed it. I hope this helps!
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.
Performance drops are expected to happen between versions, especially in snapshots. Simply stating that "My game is laggier" is not helpful for Mojang to diagnose your issue. If you can pinpoint a specific cause when lag happens for you, please open a new report for that specific issue. If you think this might be a hardware issue please contact Community Support as they might be able to help with your issue.
Keep in mind that Mojang is constantly optimizing the game and simply playing the game provides feedback to Mojang on which parts cause performance issues. To learn more about this, head here (section "Telemetry") for more information.
