Monitor keeps flickering when i play minecraft on xbox one

KalynSeaton · May 16, 2023

while playing Minecraft bedrock on my Xbox one, my monitor keeps flickering to a black screen with the game sound still playing. if i stay still and don't move after it turns black, my monitor goes into sleep mode.

I've tried turning down my monitor resolution since you cant change the resolution on Minecraft bedrock, turning down my frame rate in game, turning down my render distance, removing all of the fancy graphics and effects, I've done full resets on my Xbox, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

none of these efforts helped, all of the help online for an issue like this are all for PCs and not console. I'm at a complete loss of what to do at this point.

i don't have the funds to buy new HDMI cable and i don't feel like i need one since this issue only happens with minecraft. i can run games like Ark and Overwatch no bother but minecraft does this.

someone please help, i love this game and don't want this to stop me from playing!

thank you for reading

Thanks for the update. Don't worry about the insider program in that case.

May I know if you tried using a different resolution and disabling HDR or other options in case you have enabled some?

And do you know if Minecraft received an update before you started to experience this?

Hello, reviewing your last reply. It seems to be more like an issue with the game and not your console.

I say this due to the thing you're saying with the clip recorded. I mean, the issue happens even if you record your game play

I recommend to report this to Minecraft using the next link
https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/requests/new

But if you want to try one more thing before that, you can try to perform an offline update for your console.

It's optional

Hello Kalynseaton, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you ready to assist with this

But before that please tell me:

Is this happening with more games or just Minecraft?
Is your console enrolled in the Xbox insider program?
May I know if you tried to connect your console to a different HDMI port in your TV?
Or connecting the console itself to a different TV?

Hi, i have tried this with all of my other games but it only happens with Minecraft.

My xbox is not enrolled in the xbox insider program and im not quite sure what that is.

I have tried all my TV ports, a different TV in my house and ive tried all their ports.

Thank you for replying!

I have, i went down to 720p and 1080p but they still had the flickering.

I remember it not always being like this, i think it started happening in the last year but im not sure what update might have caused this.

EDIT: I recorded a clip of it happening on my Xbox a few minutes ago to help you see what I’m dealing with. When I went to watch over the video on my phone to actually send it however the black outs weren’t on my phone, when I watched the reply on my Xbox it still had those black flickers. Even watching the reply, if I stopped the video when my cream blacked out, it would still put my monitor to sleep.
