Thanks @Auldrick. I appreciate Minecraft is not mission critical, and not playing for a month is no real loss. I understand a roll back might be difficult/impossible, and a hotfix ("fail forward") a better solution. To me and many comments here the issue was day and night from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3 unplayable. After a week or so from 1.2.3, already surprised no update/hotfix/resolution, I looked around for where to report the issue to ensure Mojang was aware and where it was being discussed. I've begun commenting because we still have no expectation or communication. No real acknowledgment that this is a high priority issue.

For reproduction help, I found it on Xbox One 1.2.3 only. Windows 10 on Surface Book in the same world and place is fine. It is severely unplayable near our animal pens, whether or not holding wheat or seed, with Chickens, Pigs, Cows, & Sheep. I culled them to only a pair of each and the lagging is greatly reduced.

Since playing around villages or our base was undoable we too went on with something else (followed a map to the Woodland Mansion 🙂 ).

Thank you for the heads up on the other discussion places. I will continue it there.

@Auldrick as a software engineer myself, with a bug this bad, if I couldn't diagnose it quickly and have a fix out, I would have rolled back changes to 1.2.2. There has been a lack of communication about what is going on which adds to the frustration and uncertainty with customers and it is still ongoing.

I'm surprised this isn't fixed yet. It is really bad. From having my wife and kids regularly playing to now not at all since 1.2.3 on the Xbox One S. It has really killed the momentum started by the Bedrock update with us all on different device in the same world.
Is there a way to roll back to 1.2.2 or is an update imminent?

Xbox one only since 1.2.3 around dense groups of mobs (chicken pens!) its frame rate drops to like five making those areas completely unplayable.
