This change was extremely noticeable. Everyone on my realm has been complaining about severe lag the last 2 days.
It takes multiple attempts to successfully join the realm now. Trying to take off and fly with elytra is very hard, you have to spam jump and fireworks for up to 20seconds before it works typically. Lot of frame drops and laggy gameplay. People on my realm keep dying because of lag spikes while flying in particular. When we run any farms on the realm, the game becomes near unplayable.
People can't eat food properly. You hold the button to eat and the eating animation just goes on indefinitely without ever actually consuming the food. This is because the realms are so incredibly laggy now.
Also issues with picking up dropped items on the floor. We have lost some shulker boxes full of materials because it won't pick it up into our inventory due to the lag.
Please please please revert this change, or at least give us the option to choose our preferred simulation distance. This is such a terrible game ruining change you have made.
Edit: I play on ps4. Typically 4 people on my realm when I play. All are either playstation or Xbox.
