That’s normal

Yeah same problem here, I play splitscreen with my partner but she can no longer login with her xbox account. Just enters the world as myProfile(2) with none of her items or location saved!

Test results are in. I have the same exact memory creep problem with 24 minecarts in a stack as I have with 24 minecarts spaced apart as seen in the image below. So it isn’t a problem with minecarts colliding against each other.

It seems like there is some memory issue regarding minecarts generally. I think this is the extent of my testing abilities and I leave it in other’s hands now. I will, however, update the original post to reflect the real problem.

I have confirmed that the bug has to do with the stacked minecarts. After removing all of the minecarts, the memory started gradually going down.

Running another test to see if I get the same results with 24 minecarts that are not stacked.

UPDATE: I think this does have something to do with the mob grinders after all. I spent significant time AFK in other areas of the world with other things running and did not experience the memory creep. Then I went back to one of the mob grinders to AFK and observed the same memory creep behavior as outlined above. This proves that nothing inherent about AFKing or my world or spawn chunks is causing this, therefore it must be with whatever is consistent between my two mob grinders. They are both old Ilmango designs.

The only similarities is that they kill hostile mobs, use a modest number of hoppers, only 8 of which are open to the air in either design, and they use entity cramming with 24 minecarts (see table below)

In order to test this further I plan to isolate the variables. Set up stacks of 24 minecarts to see if these cause the issue, and set up a mob grinder with a different, non-entity cramming killing mechanism and see what happens. I doubt the modest number of hoppers are affecting anything as I have gone AFK at other systems that use hoppers, so I feel that I have already tested those and I will only test those further if these other tests come up emptyhanded.

After leaving the game for close to 24 hours I got this. I sent the crash report moments before this comment.

Worked straight away for my brother but I've been here 20mins + and still nothing has come through HELP!!!!

@eric - did you happen to try the possible fix I mentioned?

My son was having this problem with the star wars pack. After some clicking around, I decided to enable the option to save/backup worlds and skins to my Microsoft account. Once I set this up, was able to successfully download the new star wars pack. Worth a try if you're having problems. 

To the Mod- The ports were the same but I also tried other ports in a lower range incase my ISP had blocked some ports or some nonsense like that. I also tried a new world (all freshly downloaded files from mojang) with the same issue, connection on LAN only not WAN. The BDS 1.16.101 Update  seems to have fixed the issue and WAN connection is working now on original ports with the original world files as well, it was an issue with the BDS 1.16.100 update it seems. I was not sure how to close my bug report but the new update seems kind of unstable as well still. Clicking in the sever dialog window made players unable to connect and warranted a restart, I can start a new ticket for that if necessary. The other issue/flag I had in the original ticket was the date and time was not showing up after server start and the world was opened which is still occurring with the 1.16.101 update, I have seen other tickets for that issue but I am curious if you know whether it was an intentional change or a bug.

Pretty serious bug. 

Latest edition button combinations no longer work to reset either. I am forced to continually re-install every few days so my son can play this.

This is disk based install, which then is updated fully to latest update release.

Happens on MCPE...seems like every time I close/reopen another chunk disappears. Can only have one active Realm at a time, so months of work down the drain...

This issue has made the game unplayable on the Switch for months. Someone needs to update us

Same on ios

I have the exact same issue on Mac OS 10.14.6

no

HI J. A. Hunsberger,

thanks very much that did work. However prior to the update she was able to play the template packs without being logged in to my xbox live account. will this functionality of being able to play these packs without being logged in to xbox live be returned? 

it shouldn't be a requirement to be logged in to an account when we have purchased an add-on.

It shouldn't

This is still an issue in the release version & should be reopened
