[MCPE-177693] Cached data breaks animations when joining worlds or servers.

When joining a world (a friend's world, server, or Realm), some animations—like FOV changes, item switching, or the rain animation (and possibly other things too)—break after some time, resulting in a weird bounce effect. However, you can repair the broken animations by clearing all caches. This seems to work just once.

There’s a strange but consistently effective workaround:

Join your own local world
Go to Settings > Video
Toggle “FOV Can Be Altered by Gameplay” off and then on again (or on, then off)

This method seems to fix the issue every time.

Reproduce:

Open Minecraft on PlayStation/Xbox.
Stay in the Main Menu for around 8 hours (you can leave it overnight).
After that, join a world (A Server, Friend or Realm).
After just a few seconds, you will see this bug. It will appear for a few seconds, then disappear, and so on.

This is a good way to simulate a game session, which triggers this bug.

Expected:

All animations (the FOV changing, rain, and item change animations) run smoothly without any noticeable issues.

Observed:

Some animations do not run smoothly and bounce around, which is disturbing and, due to the FOV change animation, not very enjoyable.

Notes:

Using the described way to reproduce the bug, you will also be able to trigger it in the preview version of the game. However, you may notice that the "bouncing" isn’t as extreme as in the main version of the game — at least that was the case for me.
The bug also occurs when staying in the main menu for some time.

Please specify your device.

In the future, do not select "multiple" for platforms and multiple affected versions unless you have actually tested it on multiple platforms and versions. Since your video appear to be from a release version I have removed the Preview version from the report.

Oh man, that this bug is still there. I reinstall my Minecraft regularly now, as the bug occurs less frequently after reinstalling. However, it then happens more and more often. This bug makes me dizzy....

I have experienced this multiple times. This appears to be a longstanding issue based on MCPE-45227, MCPE-54972, MCPE-74117, MCPE-79038, MCPE-90948, MCPE-98617, MCPE-132654, and MCPE-170211.

Although, this could be a duplicate of MCPE-16688 based on MCPE-108886, MCPE-125546, and MCPE-180682.

Day 12 of having to delete Minecraft, delete the game data, reinstall the game, and reconfigure all the settings in order to play Minecraft normally. 👍

Experienced this in at least once in 1.21.30.24 Preview. It is most prevalent when switching between items in the hot bar, as it also affects that hand animation.

@unknown, I played version 1.21.50.29 for a few hours and was not affected by the bug. It’s possible that this is one of those phases where the bug temporarily disappears and might reappear at a later time, but at least during the few hours I played, I couldn’t find it. It could be that the bug is no longer present in version 1.21.50.29.

@unknown,
The bug is still present in the main edition of the game. Is that intentional? If so: Is there an estimate on when the bug fix will reach the main version of the game?

Note: If you are also experiencing this bug (on the PS5 edition), it might help to reinstall the game once in the morning and once in the evening. However, this will delete all packs downloaded from servers and worlds – so you will need to download them again when joining the server or world.

This works for me. At the moment, it is the only way for me to play the game.
I don’t know if this method also works on other devices, and I wouldn’t recommend trying it, as there is a risk of losing worlds.

Request to reopen

A few months ago, I was asked whether this bug appears in the preview. Back then, just like today, I was unable to reproduce the bug in the preview. When I reported that the bug does not appear in the preview, the bug report was closed as "can't reproduce."

That was some time ago. To this day, however, the bug constantly appears in the game, even in the 1.21.70 update.

Since I am unable to edit the bug report, I kindly ask that this comment be considered the more relevant source of information.

This bug, which occurs every few seconds to minutes, is very likely related to the servers or worlds one joins. Worlds running on low-end devices and certain servers (previously, Cubecraft was affected) seem to trigger the bug immediately. The bug then also appears in one's own worlds. It will also be triggered on well-performing worlds or servers, though it takes a bit longer to occur.

There is a way to get rid of the bug for 1 to 3 hours—by reinstalling the game (at least on PlayStation, this seems to work).

The strange and sudden stuttering of some animations is not only confusing and distracting from the gameplay but, particularly due to the FOV-altering animations, can also cause dizziness for the player.

Imagine wanting to play a round of Just Build on Hive—no, you can't. First, you have to reinstall the game. Want to play on a Realm? Reinstall your game. Want to quickly hop into Minecraft during the little time you have? Delete the game. Reinstall it. Depending on how much you play, you’ll need to reinstall the game more or less frequently. I usually have to reinstall it twice, sometimes even four times a day.

I hope that with this (now more thoroughly structured) description, I have made it clear why this bug should be taken seriously and, most importantly, why the report should be reopened.

After being AFK in the menu for a few hours, I came back and knew the bug would be there. So, I decided to record how I usually fix it.

In the first video, you can see how I join the world, notice the bug, and go through the steps to get rid of it. The second video shows a slow-motion version of the before and after the bug fix, because in the first video it's a bit hard to clearly see that the bug is there.

Yes, it does. This bug still occurs in the latest versions of the game.

I wasn’t sure if “latest update” referred to the preview version or the main version, so I tested both. In both versions (Preview and Main Game), the bug still occurs for me on my PlayStation 5.

How I figured it out:

I left my PlayStation 5 turned on overnight and stayed AFK in the main menu of the game for about 6 to 8 hours.
Then I joined a Realm.

The bug also occurs when I play long enough, but the method I used is a reliable way to reproduce the bug without doing anything.

To temporarily get rid of the bug, I join my own local world, go to the settings, and toggle "FOV can be altered by Gameplay" off and on again.

Here's a clip showing the bug in the Preview version. Its maybe be hard to see in a Video, but it's still noticeable:
