Due to the new Renderdragon engine, the game lags and the phone heats up. My phone is good. Minecraft has never lagged before.

Hello! I'm trying to recreate this issue on M20, well it's getting a bit warm but I'm just strolling around in experimental mode. Maybe I need to do something specific? Could you help me by adding more details and/or video?

You do not need to do anything specific. The phone heats up over time as usual before adding the Dragon Ranger. Before adding it, it was normal, even when I wander around the world in creative mode and explore whether I pass through old or new areas. It does not heat up, even if it heats up slightly, and you do not even notice it. But now, after adding it, playing normally makes it heat up, and roaming around the world in Ultra or in a creative mode makes it heat up dramatically as if it will burn
You can see someone else's comment above me causing their phone to overheat and there are many who are complaining about it

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 and has started overheating while i play Minecraft since Render Dragon. It gets hot enough that my phone gives me a warning that Minecraft is causing the issue and then it shuts down the app.

I do not wish to repeat this for a photo unless you'd like to buy me a new phone 😛

This is causing my ipad to get very hot to the touch as well, although only when plugged in. It doesn't get warm when not running mc even when plugged in, and it didn't get this warm pre 1.18.30. When I play on "The Hive" it gets hot to the touch, and on my singleplayer survival world it also gets warm (but not as warm, unless im near my villagers or farms)

This just likely due to render dragon’s poor performance issues (MCPE-142934)

I have the same problem

I have the same problem, so far I have tried it on different devices (Motorola moto e5 play, android 8, 1GB ram, 16 ROM,Snapdragon 425) and in a (Motorola one, Android 10, 4GB ram, 64GB ROM, Snapdragon 625). And the problem persists in the same way on both devices, they heat up in a matter of minutes to the point that the same device closes the application for the good of the device. Apparently it is not a problem with the power of the device, since it happens even in the most powerful models, it is rather a problem with the RenderDragon.

Unfortunately this problem is still present in version 1.19.22.
Not even the time to open your world or play in the servers that the phone overheats making (in my case) impossible to play, also reducing the percentage of the battery in a short time
It would be fair if it was fixed as soon as possible, even in the next beta ...
Thanks to the developers for reading this feedback

Issue is still present in 1.19.51

When I try to play it on my Samsung Galaxy S22+, the game heats up my phone significantly in less than a minute. This makes playing Minecraft on it virtually impossible since it becomes the eye of an oven at that point and I'm afraid of damaging my phone's battery or other components.

I have an Android device that has 4GB Ram, and 64GB of storage.

Whenever I play Minecraft my phone heats up like crazy even though I'm in creative move doing all sorts of stuff.

ReyBad98 2023-07-26T05:04:01Z

it is still present in 1.20.10.
It's very frustrating, already in 10 minutes the phone gets very hot. This problem has been around since you added rtx to bedrock, thus favoring the few pc gamers who can afford it. When will you take it off?
The community has been complaining for 2 years, it's time to listen to us

Also experiencing this on Samsung S22+

Phone gets unbearably hot to touch within minutes of loading a world.

I tested this and my phone heats up to 39-40 in less than 20 min at lowest settings everything turned off render distance 5 please fix. It’s been two years do you want fricking phones exploding

Jed 2025-04-03T12:02:24Z

Make a dedicated team focused on performance c’mon is this something that is hard to do
