I completely wiped all server files and that seems to have resolved the issue. I am not sure why it didn't work by just deleting the world files only. 

I can no longer replicate the issue so you can go ahead and mark this as resolved. Thanks

That's actually what I had done but it still didn't work. 

I've deleted the world folder completely and started from scratch but the server cannot generate the data packs.

I suppose just uploading an existing world from client to server is fine but thought I'd let you guys know anyway of the bug if you want to fix it.

Wait what....

You resolved spawn-animals bug option by just removing the feature altogether?

We have been using this feature for 10+ years. How would we disable animals now?

All good now! Thanks

I too had the red screen of death again on my PS4. After almost 2 months of trouble free - I thought the issue was finally behind us ,but just the other week the red screen came back. Didn't do anything different for the past 2 months.

I've had to uninstall and reinstall minecraft to get it going again. Nothing else worked. 

@@unknown next time if you get stuck on the red screen try deleting the minecraft saved app data too. I'm sure if you do all the steps as I defined you won't see the issue again (hopefully!)

To do this, on PS4 go to Settings --> Application Saved Data Management --> Saved Data in System Storage --> Delete --> Choose Minecraft --> Check the Boxes where you see Sprocket icon and press Delete (see screenshot)

Now delete Minecraft as normal, reinstall it, start playing without logging into Microsoft Account, and hopefully you'll never see a stuck red mojang screen again!

FYI, I make no guarantee that your existing worlds will remain intact. We didn't lose ours but this is Minecraft. Anything goes.

I think this has something to do with when you log into your Microsoft profile within Minecraft.
I've been a having this issue every week for past 3 to 4 months, but over the last month I've not seen a stuck red Mojang screen. The only reason I can think of is I did not log in this time and been just playing single player.

anyone else back me up on this?

 Steps I took to resolve:
1) Delete Minecraft from PS4
2) Delete all Minecraft Data (config etc) from PS4 Local and Cloud vis the PS4 settings.
3) Reinstall Minecraft on PS4 - Do not log into Microsoft profile.
4) No issue for a month now.

I believe Step 2 is critical. If you don't delete all Minecraft Config Data from PS4 and Cloud, it will still cause a problem even if you don't log in.

I'm currently stuck in the red screen I will try to disconnect internet and restart Minecraft to see if it will help.

UPDATE: Internet off, relaunched Minecraft, still stuck in red screen. Also rebooted PS4. I would have to conclude the issue is not related to the internet. (At least when it starts to happen.)

UPDATE: Deleting game app data for Minecraft via PlayStation settings did not fix the issue. How is this possible? When you delete the entire game, it starts to work but the same should apply when you delete the game app data files. Does this mean that Minecraft is saving app data in locations where it should not be? (Static location) This would be considered very bad coding and might explain why the issue hasn't been resolved for so long.

UPDATE: So its been several weeks since the game has been stuck in Red Mojang logo screen. I couldn't be bothered reinstalling the game, so my kids had been patiently waiting. Every morning, the 4 and 5 year old would start up the PS4, launch Minecraft and just wait for 30+ mins until they gave up and turned off TV.

For the first time ever this morning, they went to the PS4 room as normal and I heard shouting and screaming, rushed to the room thinking something was terribly wrong and to my surprise Minecraft had actually LOADED (The world data was still there)

They did nothing different. Just launch the game as normal every day for the past month. The only thing I noticed was the microsoft account needed to be logged in again to play online. I'll leave it as it is without logging on to see if it gets stuck ever again. They are playing as we speak and refuse to quit the game as to not jinx it. Looks like the TV is booked for the day.

Did Mojang do something or is this just a fluke ?

@unknown  - this thread only focuses on the permanently stuck Mojang Red splash screen when starting up Minecraft on the PS4 - it prevents complete access to the game. The issue you have mentioned is not related and you should create a new issue for that (I think some already exist for that)
 
 

@Ren - I have two accounts also here, one PSN and one Local, I tried switching out of the local and went into the PSN account, didn't work for me. Still stuck in the red Mojang screen. I tried several different combinations, close game, start from PSN account, etc, didn't work. I don't think your issue is related to the Mojang's red screen of death issue.

I also tried the supersampling setting that one of the Mojang Moderators were talking about trying. Didn't work, my TV doesn't even support it according to PS4. It has supersampling disabled by default. (Maybe because I already play on 4k ? My TV is 2020 Samsung model) I tried changing the resolutions around and adjusted various video settings. None of them helped.

Its now been 1 hour and its still stuck on red screen so I'm giving up.  I refuse to delete and download it again and again, so I'm jus leaving it on the Red screen until somebody has a solution. If anyone has anything for me to try, let me know.

Could any of the moderators advise if Mojang are aware of the seriousness of this issue?

The workaround provided is not a solution and is difficult to execute (and sometimes it doesn't work and you have to reinstall the whole game). 

We would really appreciate an update or at least a reason as to why its not yet resolved.

L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + OPTIONS + Touch Pad does not work.

Can you make a easier combination. My fingers are bleeding trying to press the combination

It's now been 4 days and it's still stuck on the red mojang splash screen.

So I can conclude trying to wait for it to self resolve is pointless. 

The button combinations not working anymore.

I've just reinstalled it and I'm back in. 

Now everytime I see the red mojang logo screen I get anxiety. Who would have thought.

Is there a way to temp disable the red mojang splash screen? The White loading screen is way more helpful

issue still not resolved after update. Though its been almost a month without incident, unfortunately its come back today. And this time I've tried  L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + OPTIONS + Touch Pad combo many times to no avail. It worked last time, not sure why this combo is not working this time.

ok I had the mojang splash screen stuck again. 

This time it took even longer to reset it with L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + OPTIONS + Touch Pad. Had to close and restart the instance about 10 times and kept mashing the buttons until it finally registered and got me back in the main menu with the profile reset.

I am back in the game though after those many attempts

Update: was stuck in Mojang screen again. 

Using the buttons: L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + OPTIONS + Touch Pad did not help in first attempt. I pressed it for 3 mins until my fingers gave in (Really bad combination)

Then, in the PS4 menu, I went in options and forced closed Minecraft and started it up again, on second attempt still no good either. I repeated this process 4 more times (By closing Minecraft and opening and pressing buttons) until finally, I was able to get in and play! It didn't appear to clear my profile or sign in data (was it meant to?)

I'll update on next occurrence.

I'm having same issue on PS4 with digital version.

I have to delete and download again costing me 2.2GB of data and download time every time I do this.

So far I've had to do this 3 times in the last 7 days.

May I know what the solution was to this?

When sync-chunk-writes=true, (for java dedicated server) it still causes a large amount of IO usage, slowing down chunk generation and overall server performance in proportion to the speed of the disk drive.

Was the solution just to set  sync-chunk-writes to false ?

Tested on Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS - same type of reduction ratio as Ubuntu 16 (maybe a bit more)
From 16% to 10% on a X5670 CPU (1.14.3 --> 1.14.4 Pre-Release 6)

Not near as low as 1.13.2, which idles at <1% but none the less a noticeable improvement.

I appreciate the effort made thus far, but I still think the root cause of the high idle CPU has not been resolved and a lot more can be saved.
