[MCPE-190681] Player randomly being pushed around by an invisible force or snapping back to previous position

After the 1.21.60 update, I’ve noticed that every so often, the player will be pushed back by some invisible force for a moment as if there were glitched ghost blocks. I don’t exactly know what’s causing it, but it’s definitely not normal.

This issue is very problematic as it has caused my player to be shoved off of cliffs, off of tall builds, and into lava pits.

I don’t exactly know how to replicate this issue, as it happens at random, but I do have a few videos that show what the issue looks like.

Edit: it seems to be happening when the game saves, as well as the game freezing for a few seconds.

The only addon I am using is the realism vfx addon, and I know that’s not the cause as I was using the addon before 1.21.60

I am using a Nintendo switch Oled with the system version 19.0.1

Nreed002 2025-02-28T02:50:09Z

It may be the addon, but I doubt it, as I was using it before 1.21.60

Can you provide us with a copy of your world? This will be helpful in reproducing the issue on our side. Thank you!

Nreed002 2025-02-28T13:14:08Z

I play on Nintendo switch, so I don’t think I’ll be able to. Sorry. I wouldn’t even know how to do that.

Can confirm.

Hi Minecraft386882

If it also occurs to you, do you have a more reliable repro steps?
Do you have a specific set of events in which this issue might occur?
Maybe some addons/packs?
Does it occur on specific world?

This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

Nreed002 2025-03-15T01:07:44Z

I don’t have a reliable way to reproduce this as stated before, but after further playtime on different worlds, I noticed it happens whenever the game is saving, and the game saving is also causing sound and block delays, though that’s a different issue entirely. The time it happens the most is when the game/world is saving from what I’ve seen.

Nreed002 2025-03-15T01:09:49Z

You can try the seed -2974900659182518502, since that is the seed of my main world. It has happened on other worlds too though.

Celeste Fox 2025-03-22T15:07:47Z

This happened to me in my hard core world earlier today and I fell off a cliff and died

Save The Bedrock 2025-03-29T14:11:49Z

It happens on Servers and Realms - i never notice this on a own World

Save The Bedrock 2025-03-29T14:27:14Z

Way to reproduce:
Aiming and Shooting with a Bow, while walking sideways. This way to reproduce it almost never works on Realms, but work perfectly on the Movie Event server.

I have experienced this bug on singleplayer worlds, even with multiplayer toggled off. It seems to become more noticeable on worlds with larger file sizes-- the world I was experiencing it on the most is over 100mb in size. I've noticed it appears to be directly tied to autosaving; for me, only occurs while the little autosave icon is present in the upper corner of the screen, or a few seconds before it appears.

Lunet Gypsophila 2025-03-31T11:01:19Z

This happens on servers as well, I'll be on a vanilla server or world and I'd get pushed back, and as a result lose progress or die. It's happened if the world is over 100 MB in size, which is terrible because I've considered starting making my world a forever world and it started happening 1.21.71.

Heather 2025-03-31T20:16:18Z

I’m also on a server that is experiencing a lot of rubberbanding and lag. Our RAM is usually around 25% of 10GB - since the update we get up to 90%

Nreed002 2025-03-31T23:05:57Z

It’s been happening a lot on my long time world, which is around 2 years old and is around 400mb.

Save The Bedrock 2025-04-02T13:23:50Z

Because I read that this might have something to do with the file size of the world:

It is also happening on my Realm, which is about four years old and has a file size of 1.4GB.

Mikamikachu 2025-04-03T12:13:22Z

I have a newly built world where this is happening constantly. Currently less than 100 MB. However it is mostly happening in the nether.

Nreed002 2025-04-06T03:35:41Z

Here’s another video of it happening

It seems to now be happening for me whenever you stop flying in creative.

Nina 2025-04-09T16:09:10Z

happening to friend when they join my world making it impossible to play together

Nreed002 2025-04-19T05:32:59Z

Issue seems to be fixed, for me after 1.21.72 hotfix

Johnnyhg 2025-04-21T16:27:59Z

Yes this is happening to me right now and it needs to be fixed. its been like this for almost 3 months

Johnnyhg 2025-04-21T16:28:35Z

Theres been so many movement bugs since the new update

Timmy togi 2025-04-25T20:41:45Z

Why hasnt this been fixed yet? its been a problem simce 1.21.60, theres been so many updates

A Bedrock player 2025-05-04T23:54:40Z

As of May 4th, 2025, it's still a major issue for me. There have been a good number of bugs I've come across since the last drop that still haven't been fixed, this one being the worst of them. This BADLY needs fixing.
