Nether causes crashes

When I initially enter the nether, the game crashes. When I reload the world, it’ll put me in the nether and then I can play as normal. On average after playing for 5 minutes in the nether, the game crashes again. After I reboot the game and load back in, depending on what I was doing, I’ll be spawned inside a block or my progress will be reversed completely. This renders the game completely UNPLAYABLE in the nether because of how consistent and repeatable these crashes are. I’ve tried saving the game after I reboot from a crash and then reloading but the game still crashes after 5 minutes of playing. I’ve also tried turning down sim distance and other graphical settings with also no improvement. I play the PS4 version on my PS5 pro. Thank you in advance for addressing this game breaking bug in a swift manner.
