Is it just us or have the crashes become more frequent in the last 24 hours? My husband was playing last night (about 12 hours ago here in France) and it started crashing every 10 minutes or so. Plus, when he went through a new portal from the Nether it crashed and he was sent underground (in the main world) and no corresponding portal appeared. He's now stuck in an unknown area (having got above ground) trying to find his way back to an existing property (having originally walked 4 full maps in the wrong direction!). It's also 're-drawing' parts of the Nether again. Where he's mined out and built rail, the tunnel and all railtrack have vanished and he's had to dig through and re-lay new track (this happened once before a few months ago). The game is rapidly approaching the point of being unplayable (I rarely play at the moment as it's so frustrating).

Like Christopher, I use a texture pack. My husband doesn't. Next time mine crashes I'll check if I get the checkerboard (I can't remember as I haven't played for a while). My husband definitely gets the checkerboard or a general pink and black random pattern. I can't imagine that those of is who've posted here are the only ones with this problem, I suspect that other people don't know where to report it or can't see the point. That or they've given up playing.

For info - mine is local world, Xbox one and under 1Gb. My husband's is local world, Xbox one and 3.7Gb. His crashes more often but he plays more often (I get too frustrated with the crashes to play as much as I used to). On a good day he might get a couple of hours before the pink and black 'checkerboard' appears. Sometimes it's only half an hour.

My husband is still getting this all the time. I get it too but don't play as often as it drives me mad. It's happened to him when just opening a chest! We're on Xbox and don't have a realm so can't help I'm afraid. So far, when it's crashed, he's lost multiple mine carts and boats and even a pet dog. It may have also caused the loss of a cat - really frustrating stuff.

The 1.13 update has caused issues yet there've been three more updates since and the bug still isn't fixed. The game is crashing at random times within previously explored areas of the map (especially in the Nether). I realise it's hard to find the code that causes it but mightn't it be a good idea to hold off the updates until it's fixed. Maybe do some thorough testing before corrupting everyone's game even further. Xbox One.

Getting the same thing regularly since the 1.13 update. Extremely frustrating.
