I have a world that has cheats enabled. I have been messing around with some commands recently to see if anything might help with the lag issues. It seems when we are getting major lag in our world, if I use the "/kill @e[type=item]" command it will usually clear up the lag temporarily (not always tho). I use a few ticking areas for auto farms (kelp farm, sugar cane farm, bamboo farm) but nothing that should cause such bad lag from floating items. 

I'm not sure if maybe there are other floating items somewhere in our world causing excess lag? Maybe the new mob spawn mechanics are spawning mobs where they die and drop items creating an abundance of floating items below the surface that we cannot see? Just trying to brainstorm and provide some possibly useful information. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Obviously all of us here love playing the game, we just want to be able to play without crippling lag making the game unenjoyable. 

I am experiencing this severe lag in my Realm on my Xbox One S ever since 1.18. It is happening a majority of the time I join the Realm on Xbox One S, no matter if anyone else is on or not. The Realm seems stable for the first several minutes but then the issues begin. Character will exit water and be swimming on the land. Unable to fly. Mining is greatly delayed, and sometimes the blocks don't even break. Chunks are not loading. Etc. (I have several video clips of the different issues listed here)

I have tried changing settings to bare minimum on my Xbox (minimum render distance, disabled fancy graphics, disable cloud rendering) but the issues persist.

When I am playing on my windows 10 PC in the Realm and no one else is on I do not have any issues. But if I join the Realm on my Xbox One S using another account, I start having lag issues on my PC as well. The lag is making the game unplayable for the Xbox One S. It's a shame because we use this Realm to play with my stepson who is stationed in South Korea.
