Blinking UI, Visual Glitch: new chunks trying to generate over existing ones

Mojang Studios Note

As a workaround for the issue, reducing the render distance and relaunching the world should help to prevent the visual glitches from appearing, until we have a proper fix in place. Thank you for your patience.

My world created prior to 1.18.0 is having a visual glitch an tries to generate new chunks over existing ones, ones I have built in. Luckily, it fails at doing so and goes away after leaving the game. One thing that causes the visual glitch is opening inventory too often. A sign of the visual glitch starting is the UI would randomly start blinking then the world goes into chaos if it continues after a minute.

I constantly have to go in and out of the game every couple minutes.

It was ment to say "before 1.18.0"

Also, as well as further investigation, it moves chunks over existing ones in a seperate perspective.

I also experience this in most of my worlds, old and new. I notice this often happens while sprinting.

I have screenshots on a previous post that got resolved (MCPE - 155466)

 

This glitch does seem to be directly caused by 1.18.32. It didn't come up in previous updates and I only noticed it since the update dropped 2 weeks ago. This and many other bugs also concerns me if or if not there's any quality control in updates, but that's a discussion for another day.

It got fixed in the recent Beta, lower render distance does work to solve the issue.

it also works on new worlds, i generated a completely new world and it looked terrible

I had a similar experience with this glitch but it corrupted individual blocks. I didn't know what was going on.
