If you are playing on a world on switch, you will just start to lag at random moments. It also affects other people when they are on your world. This is if you are playing by yourself or playing multiplayer.

I don't know about anyone else, but I've been experiencing random and lengthy lag issues with Minecraft on the switch for over 2 years. On occassion, the game will completely freeze, while still looking like it's functioning (block and environment animations continue to play, but the game won't acknowledge any of the controls), but more frequently, as in at least once every 10-20 minutes, I experience lag that causes weird glitching when placing blocks, and choppy movement. The lag lasts anywhere between 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and then the game is (seemingly) back to normal until the next time it lags. One specific lag issue I've experienced frequently is when exploring new chunks, I essentially have temporary x-ray vision, as I can see the water, lava, and tunnels underground for 5-15 seconds before the chunk finishes loading. I've made several tweets showing this is the past. Considering the switch is my only way of playing, and I adore the game as a whole, these issues have made the game increasingly harder to enjoy

However, this issue is Invalid.
Performance drops are expected to happen between versions, especially in betas. 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.
