JohnPaul, the problem is not getting achievements. The problem (or at least my problem) is getting slime. (or any other drop from a mob that is not a Drowned)

Once that beta goes live, I'll be able to play again. Yay.

The problem on mobile isn't the lag – it's the near-total absence of any mob that isn't a Drowned.

I need slime, and I can't get any because slimes don't spawn in my slime swamp anymore. Nothing spawns anymore except Drowned, because they've filled up the mob cap. This is an issue when you need certain mobs for resources (my slimes, or the skells before I found a spawner, etc.) I've pretty much quit playing until this is fixed.

(on the plus side, I do have an excellent stockpile of tridents and shells now)

Note that this has continued since the Update Aquatic part II release on iOS. It's not just beta; it's live. I posted one of the duplicates of this, regarding the fact that my slime-hunting swamp is no longer useful for hunting slimes in, because it's full of Drowned and nothing else. This has gotten ridiculous: anywhere that Drowned can spawn, I don't see other mobs anymore, or very, very few – it's all Drowned. And since they seem to be able to spawn in anything the size of a large puddle, that means it's pretty much all Drowned, all the time, everywhere. I want my slimes back. :-/

Also exists in single player. After I fed my cows, a stack of glass blocks on my hotbar was replaced by a duplicate of my wheat.

I've had the same thing happen, with the added note that it has resulted in the duplication of items. (I reported it as a separate bug because of the duplication, which does not seem to have been mentioned here). It's an established world, though not a particularly big one, and the crashes/rollbacks often happen at very innocuous times – for example, I'll just be walking across an uncomplicated overworld area. A few have happened when I was accessing chests – more than when interacting with other objects, though that may be because chests are probably the objects you interact with the most.

I've also observed this with no creeper involved – just a patch of blocks that did not render, making the caves, etc., underground visible. When I revisited the area some time later (possibly reloaded the game; I'm not sure) the missing graphics were back, and nothing was out of the ordinary.
