iOS: Lag spikes (freezes) occur in all single and multiplayer modes (realms, private, public servers)

Still an issue on the latest version.

After some testing I found that emptying space in my iPad’s internal storage helped Minecraft lag less. With roughly 50% of it empty I only get small irritating lag spikes that disappear instantly and only occur every minute or so instead of the entire screen freezing for a second every 15 - 20 seconds.

I seen that on M2 these lag spikes and a lower framersate became more intense when generating new chunks, also under the suggested render distance.

Could be the marketplace the cause? Anyway M2 doesn't get hot like other games, looks like the performance are capped

Yeah this is happening to me in 2024 in a private world

Can confirm. This started to happened to me recently on new Preview 1.21.70.20 on my iPad 9th generation. I didn’t test yet if I has the same issue on my iPhone 16. But this only happens to me on recent Minecraft Preview, full release seems not affected for me.

Check if I have the same issue on my iPhone 16 right now and my response. Yes iPhone 16 with 256 gb have the same issue sadly, but freezing last only 1 to 2 minutes and not so frequent. So its not older devices issue only.

At first I thought it’s because my iPad only has 64gb of storage and Minecraft didn’t get enough of storage but I suppose is because something else now that causes this lag spikes.

Still happens on iPhone 14, even in offline singleplayer

I have an IPad 9th generation running iPadOS 18.5 with 157.74 GB available. I’m playing with Minecraft version 1.21.81. I”m the only player on the world. The game continually freezes especially when loading new chunks. It had become more frequent and the freeze lasts longer (over 1 minute) with the current version. My iPad is not heating up and I don’t have this issue with any other games or apps on the iPad.

I can send a video if that would be helpful.

The report say its on realm, but as i and other experienced this on offline single player worlds, so the issue is not connection or server issues, its happening on iOS devices no matter how strong or capable the device is, please fix this as soon as possible because the game is literally unplayable.

Same here, I dont use realms, but I’ve also been experiencing this on all of my offline single player worlds (both new and old), I get it if I was using vibrant visuals on the maxim settings or something, but the lag spikes and fps drops have been happening regardless of my graphic settings or my render distance, and I have a pretty good iOS device. I haven’t been able to find any bug report of this happening on offline single player worlds so I’ll probably make a bug report about it cuz its been getting on my nerves, it definitely needs to be fixed.

The last update still didn’t fix this bug it’s not playable at all.please fix it.

This is something I encountered a bunch, then it seemed fixed for a while, but more recently I have encountered it again, after I edited the options file to set the render distance to 20 (I wanted to see farther than the max of 10), causing more freezes (but still not as bad as it was when the freezes first started, many months ago). That render distance has also resulted in a couple crashes, making me think that the freezes are a memory leak issue.
