Camera movement becomes periodically unsmooth

Reproduce:

❗It’s only clearly visible at higher frame rates like 90, 120, or 144. At 60 FPS the game is jittery by itself, which (most of the time!) hides the jitter caused by this bug.

  • Join a server. Some servers trigger the bug more visibly than others—but this seems to be totally random. You can join the Hive Bedwars lobby, which currently looks like the screenshot in the comments. You’ll notice that, for some reason, the bug doesn’t appear there at the beginning. It will start to appear eventually, but definitely more slowly than on every other server/realm I’ve played on. However, this affects ONLY the Bedwars lobby—nothing else. I don’t know why.

  • Walk around. Spend a few minutes on the server.

  • Jumping is the easiest way to spot the bug. The bug is most visible during slow movements. Sometimes the bug becomes (seemengly random) so extrem, that even in fast movements this bug is clearly visible.

It’s probably something that causes movement not to render smoothly, similar to how it is with:
https://report.bugs.mojang.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/6/MCPE-177693

Expected:
Everything is smooth

Observed:
Camera movement looks like it has a low framerate from time to time

I don’t know if that has anything to do with the components used, but if needed:

  • RTX5080

  • Intel Core i9-14900KF

Ideas

  1. It may have something to do with the connection to the world. Sometimes the connection is (maybe!) weaker, which could cause this bug to appear. That would explain why it shows up periodically, why it sometimes becomes extremely noticeable on servers with many people, or when traveling a lot.

  • But it also happens on local worlds, which argues against that idea.

  • See additional information 1 below. It also speaks against that Idea - I think.

Additional information

  1. For example, in The Hive BedWars lobby, right near the “Nether” portal just behind spawnpoint, this bug does not appear at all—it’s perfectly fine. Sometimes I go there just to enjoy how smooth it is. But if you move away from that spot—about 30 blocks at least—it starts to appear, which is extremely weird. (Tested 05.09.2025)

Seems to be caused by the server authoritative movement changes

Happens a few times in this Slowed Down Video. Recorded in the newest Preview (1.21.90.25).

Ignore the Video - posted under the wrong Bug report.

It seems to me like this bug disappears—or at least becomes rarer or less noticeable—when restarting the game frequently.

We have:

MCPE-179572
This bug makes the game unplayable for some PS4 players unless they reinstall the game weekly, including deleting their game data—which means losing all their worlds.

And:

MCPE-177693

This bug forces players to interrupt what they’re doing and follow a specific set of steps from the bug report to temporarily fix it.

We now have three bugs that appear periodically. Two of them are difficult to capture on video but are clearly noticeable in-game.

Why are such frustrating and hard-to-describe bugs being introduced—and then completely ignored?

This bug right here will probably—just like the other two mentioned above—keep getting worse and worse and worse.
