Seemingly since the 1.18.30 update, when I enter certain parts of my world that contain villagers or other animals they will from a distance be moving, however as I approach they freeze up and shortly thereafter I am disconnected from the server.
I have attempted to download and run the world locally and the same thing happens except the world continues to stay frozen until I quit the game.
When attempting via a Windows PC or Nintendo Switch the same behavior occurs.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid for the bug tracker.
If everyone is disconnected from the server that indicates a crash. Crashes such as these are logged automatically by the game or server and investigated further by the development team internally, so they are not generally kept on the bug tracker.
If you can provide a list of steps that someone else can follow to consistently reproduce a crash then feel free to create a new report. Please be sure to always search for duplicates before creating any new report. Please see the Bug Tracker Guidelines for more information.
Please note that general game issues like this should be reported in the MCPE project unless they only happen on a realm.
