Minecraft freezes every few seconds on every world and on the menu

Allied 32Cameron · Dec 1, 2021

Hi, whenever i go to play minecraft, in any mode (singleplayer, multiplayer, ect) my game will start out fine. Runs perfectly, no issues. A few minutes later i get a momentary lag spike, then my game starts freezing every few seconds. No inputs work, the only way to resolve it momentarily is to press the home button. When i go back in, Minecraft runs ok for a second or so, then freezes again. Sometimes it doesn’t even last that long. I try to exit the world, and i can. However as i’m logging out, the game freezes mid load. I do the home button thing, and enter a different world, but the problem persists. I am the only one experiencing momentary freezes, whdn my friends come on the same world, they don’t experience it.

I’ve tried restarting my xbox, clearing the cache, uninstalling minecraft, deleting save data, even factory resetting my xbox (with my data). I’m going absolutely nuts, as my world has been with me for 3+ years, and has hundreds of stories written on it. However, the game is unplayable. Since the problem persists on every world, i cannot create a new one and fix it.

Please help. I’ve had this problem for a while, i’ve tried almost everything, but the game remains downright unplayable.

Sorry, i forgot to mention it only occurs on Minecraft. Every other game runs perfectly fine, multiplayer and singleplayer. I have nevertheless restarted my router and xbox, but nothings changed.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Kindly perform an extended powercycle and reset your network hardware by following the steps below:

1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

2. Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds or until it turns off then wait for 2 minutes before turning it on again.

3. After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

I apologize for the trouble and in this case, it would be best to reach out to Mojang since this is the only game that you’re having an issue with.

Hey there Nova!

We've got a few questions for you to help us better understand the situation:

Does Minecraft freeze on the menu screen?
Or does Minecraft freeze when you're in your Minecraft world?
If you start a new world in Minecraft, does that one freeze as well?

Let us know and we'll work with you from there! ^_^

I totally get the notion Microsoft Corporation does not earn enough money to provide customers with an add free experience so they [the Corporation] must bill their customers for the cost of advertising should said customer opt to go for an add-free experience
at the low (in their eyes) , low bargain price of $120 bucks a year. However, I now get the feeling Microsoft is attempting to FORCE customers to take such an option. The problems with the puzzles app has EVERYTHING to do with advertising. If you will note
(assuming your experience is similar to my own) when the advertising screen goes "black" to load a new advertisement every thing locks up...a couple of minutes (OR MORE!!!) later, the advertisement section flashes "white" at which time everything works for
about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then the process repeats. I've been timing it and a couple of times my wait time was 5 minutes down for every 30 seconds up. This went on for a few hours. This has gone on so long, I don't think Microsoft has any intent to
correct the problem. Color me as UNHAPPY and A LOT UPSET!!!
