I dont know exactly what the issue is but when there are a lot of entities, moving parts (like redstone, or crops that grow), or detailed blocks (like signs, armour stands, paintings, chests) all cause low frame rates on playstation. Changing the graphics does not work at all. There are delays doing some things like not registering when mining a block or not registering the hunger bar when eating. There are also delays when hitting mobs or shoving them to move them, sometimes delays opening inventory, villager trade menu, game menu and basically anything that requires an interface, and doing these things when interacting with interfaces causes frame rate drops. Frame rate drops are intensified when playing splitscreen doing all these things, and the game should have a stable frame rate despite all these things. And the more people that are added into the game (Whether it is local or multiplayer) all these things are intensified. I can't remember all the issues that happen but these are some common ones, and since I'm on playstation 4 slim, I regurarly face low frame rates that are definitely not 60 fps playing on splitscreen. Playing single player is ok but delays are an overall problem like mentioned before not just on playstation 4 but I think on all platforms. Since I can't remember all the issues, all I can say is that the game just needs more stability in terms of frame rate on playstation and delays. When these issues are fixed, then the game would be much more smoother.

Thats exactly what I did, I did say what the issues are in the description. And is this an automated message?
You listed a lot of actions that all may cause both lag and/or FPS drops (they are not the same thing). Reports with multiple issues are also invalid.
If you have a specific single activity that produces lag or FPS drops consistently, feel free to create a new report for that specific activity. It is not practical (or valid) to have such a general report like this that covers an unknown number of lag causes. Having specific measured results is also helpful.
For any future report, please follow this format:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. (list every step completely, so someone else can reproduce the issue, and try following your list to make sure you can still reproduce the issue yourself)
2.
3.
Observed Results:
(briefly describe what you see happen, including any message(s) shown)
Expected Results:
(briefly describe what should happen)
Use screenshots or video to help explain (but not replace) the above information
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.
Simply stating that "game needs optimization" 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.
