I'm so glad someone is finally talking about it. my switch edition runs TERRIBLY. It constantly crashes, freezes, has bad framerate and render distance, and is SOOO buggy. As a veteran console player this annoys me to this day that the console version went from the most bug-free version to the buggiest, especially on switch. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, especially with 1.18 on the horizon
I’ve played on switch a lot sometimes and that’s never happened to me
I've never experienced that, probably 'cause I haven't spent enough time on it to actually witness the bugs
While it has improved a lot over time it is still much worse than the other.
Even the rasberry pi version runs better
Remember when back then, it kept kicking you out of your friends world every 5 minutes? Lol.
I've had the switch version for about three months, not a single crash, bug, or performance error. It sometimes does take a bit to load chunks, but only in experimental 1.18. I don't know what else to say, just wanted to mention that it runs flawlessly on my switch, although my switch sometimes sounds like a fan
I've only had one issue on my switch and its that if a conduit, beacon, rain, and particle effects are all on screen, the game has a small chance to freeze for a little bit and ive played for 2.5 years now. The only reason toycat and other people are having common issues is that they don't take care of their switches
I’ve had minecraft on my switch for 3 or 4 years now and the only issue is that the marketplace doesn’t load up properly. I’ve had it crash but when it has I haven’t closed the game for a couple days it was only on sleep mode
The only issue I've had with the switch version is the marketplace not loading
same
@@enigmarko yeah it takes ages to load, I don't use the marketplace much so I don't really care about that

People who have Minecraft running fine on a Switch: “Am I a joke to you?”
You're not wrong
Exactly.
Yea
facts
Mine is so fine I can even combo people in server😊
I played minecraft on the switch for about a year, and it has never crashed on me. Performance is only bad for me if there’s 1000 armor stands in one location.
Same although a it is glitch sometimes
He's like don't play it. Me who's been playing it for over 2 years :v
For me, personally, the switch version has crashed at least 6 times. Every time it was for some unknown reason. Not too many entities or anything!
Same
same
For all the people saying "it works fine for me", that isn't his point. His point is that Minecraft on just an average phone is cheaper, better optimized, and performs better than a Switch, so how is it worth it?
Minecraft!
It's not worth it, but some people dont have a choice
Controller
@@loopdeloop_ If you are on android you can get the best controllers out there connected into the phone, and they will work just fine.

The thing that hurts me the most about this version is how clear it is that this is the mobile version, and yet is being sold for about 5x the price. The marketplace is a horror to search, and my account disconnects and I have to reconnect every time I log in.
Yes 4j version better
For the same price, there's Java Edition+Bedrock for Windows 10 which are even better (especially Java)
@@sinadiatta9905 I already purchased them both for PC seperatly years ago, also some people might only have a Switch
@@sinadiatta9905 I got to wonder what sort of logic is running through your head. It’s so bizzare to me that you’d assume this isn’t the first action anyone with half a brain would take if they had the option. Maybe it took you a while to figure out that a game will run better on better hardware?
When I fly with my elytra the rockets deal me damage when I'm flying
I'm screwed because I play on NS
The good part is, I'm personally content with it
Same. Minecraft was also the first game I played on it.. and I have 10 different games.
Same
Sadly minecraft on ns likes to crash on me alot in my world due to it having tons of builds. my world is 752mb in size. in order to get the game to quit crashing as much, i had to take down/remove all my redstone builds. now it only lags when qs at a fps of 0 or 1 for about 2mins-5mins almost ever qs, atleast it doesnt fully crash now
Me to I used to play on tablet but it was super laggy. Also all those bugs I rarely even get.
I would agree with you if you posted this before the most recent patch because in that patch they fixed an issue that made the game basically never load. (It literally used to take me about 6 hours due to crashing and the time it took to load the main menu.)
(As a Minecraft Switch player with 2000+ hours.)
What in the world were you doing wrong then?
Over 3,000 hours and never had such an issue even on my OG unit which is ~50% slower to load to title than the Lite and -01 units.
@@RunicSigils my survival world is the world I spent the most time in and takes about 400 mb. I'm pretty this world is what make it take so long to load.
Though, I'm pretty sure everyone's Minecraft on Switch can act different bc my half of my friends said they didnt have any issues and half of them did. After this patch, we ALL agree the game is significantly better.
Infact we used to joke about how bad it was and how we literally couldn't even play it unless we wanted to potentially wait several hours for just a chance to play.
"Atleast this game loads faster than Minecraft!!!"
"Atleast this game doesn't crash as much as Minecraft!!"
"At least this game works!!!!!!"
"Legacy Switch Edition was better."
And calling Minecraft "Loading Screen Simulator".
The update did fix a lot of the bugs thankfully; but it still has a lot of performance issues on my realm I play on which is sadness
This was happening to me before a while ago and it was definitely because I had way to many worlds. I deleted all my worlds and my game went back to normal
Yoo fellow 2000h gang here I don't get many glitches often and when I do its kinda cool to look at ngl
I used to play Minecraft on the switch, I got every achievement, got really good at pvp, and then my Joycons started drifting so I stopped
What about a switch pro controller?
What does drifting mean in this case? We've never owned a switch so we dont know (and typically dont care) what that means
@@PurPurDot Why should you have to buy a whole other controller to carry when the entire point is you expect the controller that come with the system to work
@@FlashGamersNetwork You shouldn't have to do that they shouldn't drift in the first place
Your first mistake was using the joycons for PVP
Im so glad I bought the OG nintendo switch version which is the same as the legacy console editions
Bedrock edition can't run on Switch, yet somehow 4J version of Minecraft this version replaced used to run perfectly. They replaced very good version with crappy Bedrock edition, and they don't care - as long as they can sell you those sweet, sweet minecoins.
Yet the actual shop where you would spend said minecoins barely works lol
@@bluebomber875 As long as buying those Minecoin works, they don't care. They got your money already.
Sounds like a you problem
@@bluebomber875 same lol
Ah yes, the Legacy edition of nintendo switch. That versione had something like 5 render distance and you couldn't even change it lol
I play in switch for about a year and it is really nice actually, never crashed at any time. Although the chunks dont load sometimes that is the only thing, I play multiplayer survival with 4 other people and we have huge builds and it runs fine
It's really good to see people like you, that enjoy the game the way it's 😀. I also have this concept when I play MCPE, when there's some bugs
mine runs really well too
I mean it maybe glitchy but its no ps vita version
Same
Lucky I lost a world that I spent like 250 hours on and it crashed alot before it finally corrupted
Split screen is actually unplayable, every time you open the inventory the other person's game stuttereds awfully
I experienced the same horrible split screen experience. My kids were enjoying the Mario world, but couldn't play it together without major issues.
Never had this happen to me?
The split screen worked for me though
@@orangegreen9636 it happens every time in split screen move around and have the other person open their inventory
It always does
I play on switch and the elytra is impossible to use cuz chunks dont load in time causing me to crash in objects lol
this might just be a coincidence but I was talking about how expensive nintendo is to Windows 10 edition and they still have a bunch of limitations
There are great Switch ports out there (most impressive probably being Witcher 3), but Microsoft majorly dropped the ball on Switch Minecraft, which is especially disappointing seeing as how great of a console the Switch is, i would really have loved to take Minecraft on the go without Touch controls along with Breath of The Wild and Mario Odyssey, but sadly I cant if I don't want pain. The Mario map is still incredible though

@@ambiguousambassador ah, that's why
I started playing Minecraft on the Switch multiplayer with my partner. We both found ourselves facing similar issues in this video. When we made our World a Realms server though it ran much much better. Chunks load more smoothly and the frame rate is also more stable and usable. We still get false starts often when booting the game, with it failing to log in to our account or find our Realms server, but switching to Realms made playing on Switch possible at all at least.
This is a reason I still play console, it has minimal bugs, good frames, official mini game severs. WHY was it discontinued? It was the best version… Probably also the most stable
Yey back wen it was fresh
So everyone on different consoles can play together. However yeah I don’t know why they discontinued it.
@Avery. no. It’s made on the same engine as Java, yes, but it’s similar. Also it’s not dumbed down because it actually has a good multiplayer system, so you don’t have to find a bunch of different websites and pay to make servers for you snd your friends. On console edition, you join your world, snd your friend is able to join you.
@@jetpond7904 money
@@Dark-xv9iz ? I said they discontinued it so people from every platform can play with each other. My friend is playing on Xbox sometimes, and sometimes I’m playing on ps4 or switch. Now because of bedrock, we can join each other. And it’s not like you can’t play the other console version, you can play it whenever you want. However yes they probably didn’t have to discontinue it, they could’ve done both.
For me, the portability + the controls are enough to make it my primary version of Minecraft.
It is very slow and crashes sometimes, but it’s not enough to stop my enjoyment of the game.

@@BigMacOrange sorry it’s 70 now
Yeah mine freezes sometimes but I still have fun on it, it could be a lot worse
Grew up playing MC on a potato pc at 30fps tops. The switch edition is heavenly in comparison and I would have loved it as a kid
As someone who primarily plays on the switch, I agree. The switch version has very poor performance, and that's before you throw in split screen into the mix.
When I play split screen, the game barely even functions properly
The splitscreen thing is definitely true. Other than that I’ve never really had any issue.
Weird, the only issue I've ever had with the switch version is this one specific bug about having to log in to microsoft every time the game is launched (which is a really old known reported and acknowledged bug)
yea this was my only bug too
Same here , still sad about not able use my costume skin on switch tho!
Its because that you need to log your Nintendo switch account. Tip:Switch is the better console because you only pay online for a year with $20 and Xbox and PS with $80. Good fun with mc.
Ooohhh I feel you there. I hate remote connect with a burning passion.
Minecraft on Switch is such an interesting case.
I’ve clocked more hours than I can remember into it on there and from all that experience I can say the game *can* run very well and has on many occasions for me. It’s just that every time a software update comes by, one thing will see improvement but something else would break.
As of right now the game is currently very stable for me and I haven’t run into any crashes or marketplace loading issues I had in the past. Unfortunately the downside this time around is that skins don’t seem to load when in multiplayer.
Even my skins wouldn’t load, but the way to fix it is first go to mange data then click software then click minecraft and scroll down to check for corrupted data and it should say there isn’t any then click re download and everything loads perfectly, don’t worry your data will still be there.
You have to go to settings > profile and disable "only allow trusted skins" to get skins in multiplayer
@@easyaspi31415 this
My cousin plays switch edition, he can play perfectly. Though he has gotten it maxed out in storage and other things, so it is good, as long as you modify it.
@@BennettTheInnet Honestly, I don't know, all I know is that he has a whole bunch of storage.
@@noahstrouse storage won't effect the performance
I don't know how to mod it yet either.
As for storage... that just limits your saves. Buy a big af memory card, and not the cheapest one. Do a bit of research about them. They have different write and read speeds and such.
@@Kozinu you can put mod easier if you have pirate minecraft on switch,and yes i hacked my switch so i can download games for free

lol you can’t just say “DONT PLAY MINECRAFT ON SWITCH” it would sound better if you said “Why I don’t like Minecraft on switch”
I've had Minecraft as the first game on my Switch, it was my father's pick, I haven't experienced any crash or lag there. However, there are several times where it crashed when I played **Minecraft Dungeons**
I’ve found that the best way to play Minecraft on my switch is by playing on a realm. It takes a lot of the strain off the switch itself since you’re basically streaming the game instead of playing the world natively. Far less crashing, and in the event something does go horribly wrong, I can load up a backup of the realm. It’s immensely stupid and frustrating that I have to pay an extra $4 a month to get a stable version of a game I already paid $30 for, plus the cost of my online subscription, but that’s what ended up working best for me. 🤷🏼♀️
Thats... Not how games work...
@@zeallust8542 works for me.
@@zeallust8542 it’s because it’s on a external server not a local one and they need good external servers for obvious reasons
And I’m guessing that the local servers suck because of the switches hardware
@@zeallust8542 that is literally how this game works
I used to always love playing Minecraft on my Switch, back in the Nintendo Switch Edition days. When Bedrock came out, it never ran amazingly, but very quickly it went from being mediocre to being outright unplayable. Online play is near impossible, going on the shop is extremely difficult, and even just loading the game takes over a minute. Whoever is in charge of Nintendo Switch QoS needs to be replaced with someone who knows what they're doing. This is Minecraft, the biggest game ever created, and it's suffering from poor performance on a game that runs on smartphones?! Eventually I was pretty much forced to stop playing Bedrock on the Switch, because it was that bad. I moved back to Nintendo Switch Edition (still has a surprisingly big community) and Bedrock Edition on my underpowered laptop (which is less powerful than the Switch mind you, ran the game flawlessly). When I got a better laptop last year, I switched to Java and haven't looked back, it reminds me of how stable the old console edition was with feature updates still.
That's why I hate playing on console now I miss the old version....switch bedrock is garbage now
Bedrock was a mistake. Period. I'm not saying java is the superior version or anything, I'm saying that pocket and console were both better off before they got merged into bedrock. As an old pe player I will never see those old screens again...
I wish I could redownload Nintendo switch edition :(
@@christofu148 You can if you bought it.
@@mjdxp5688 really?! I thought it doesn’t let you redownload
You can play mc on switch, in the same way buying lottery tickets is a good retirement strategy.
Basically - it could work - but you're mostly going to be frustrated and sad.
At first, the bedrock Minecraft on Switch was perfectly fine, but recently I’ve been having horrible performance. The legacy console version was so perfect that I’ve just been playing on that
It runs just fine on my switch, the only problem i’ve had is crashing during multiplayer.
I personally feel this video. I love minecraft, and have played the Java edition since the dawn of time. Never had major issues, and have always been pleased. My girlfriend doesn't have a PC yet and since I love to game, we thought getting minecraft on my switch would be a good way for us to connect and play together, through splitscreen. Early in the world was fine, aside from when autosaving happens, every few minutes. Blocks don't break, chunks won't load, etc etc. That's annoying but it's fine, it catches up when the autosave is done. But after throwing 30-40 hours into a world, building our home and all the bells and whistles, the world file size went up. Crashes happened every now and then, lag started to worsen, chunks loaded slower. I started to feel less enjoyment because it's hard to appreciate your builds when things start to become inconvenient to the performance. God forbid you want to travel with an elytra, she started flying into a chunk that wasn't loaded and hit a mountain and died. Then there is the wither. When the internet tells you not to bother fighting the wither, which is a part of the game intended to be done, because it will lag your game too badly, it is a problem. We had to turn on cheats to deal with it, and undo spawning it, while running at 2 fps, and voiding the gain of achievements. It's not fun and it's a problem, which sucks. Sorry for the rant.
I feel you man. Never tried the Elytra since I could already tell that it would end badly for me when the chunks load slow. So pretty much all the time
@@Smol-bug you seem to be making a mistake...
Mojang handles Java.
Microsoft handles Bedrock and Minecoins :V

I’ve only played Minecraft on the switch for the past 2 years and it’s really not that bad. The only issue I come up with is the rendering is extremely slow especially when I’m on water. Other than that though I’ve never had a bug crash or any other real big issue I can think of.
Me too
I really wish they just kept the console editions they ran so much more smoothly
Oh definitely but the higher ups in Microsoft are all idiot's
In my experience the Switch version has a lot of crashing and performance issues. The world play on is pretty normal and doesn’t have 300 signs or armor stands or anything, but the frame rate still drops to about 20 most of the time. The game crashes a lot as well. It’s been like this ever since Bedrock came out on switch, I have no idea why they haven’t fixed it yet.
honestly bedrock for all consoles is downright unbearable at times but man good luck switch players i hope for the best but bedrock has been so buggy for so long that ive lost hope.
Weird, I thought oyou were on PS5 not Nintendo switch!
Joke, but yeah, my friend has a switch and we play together, i got surprised at how bad the performance is
im one of the lucky few who got minecraft: nintendo switch edition.... which runs flawlessly with 0 issues. and it's legacy console so you get the nostalgia kick
Toycat: Don't play Minecraft on a switch
Me who has been playing on there for 3 years: Oh NOW YOU TELL ME
YEAH 😡
I’ve been playing Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch as my main console for 2 and a half years now, and while I wasn’t really too bothered by the performance issues at first, now that my main survival world has surpassed 200 megabytes, the performance is starting to take a hit. This video made me realise just how extensive the crappy performance for Minecraft on the switch is. With the introduction of the experimental versions, it just worries me further just how terrible the performance will be once 1.18 comes out, because just walking around on the ground in a fresh world with the render distance on it’s lowest is just downright unplayable. Each chunk takes a minimum of 20 seconds to load. It’s not just down to the console’s performance either, as it can run massive games like super mario odyssey, zelda BOTW, and even third party games like dark souls remastered and subnautica, can all run at 1080p 60fps quality when docked. I’ve played all these games on switch and haven’t had any performance issues unless the switch is undocked. Someone needs to mention these performance issues with someone at Mojang, because Minecradt on the switch is becoming intolerable.
It’s unacceptable for a BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY to release this terrible I played a couple game mode 1 packs and there even worse
@@aicovermakerdude Yeah I think it might just be the bedrock developers either being lazy with their switch optimisation, or it’s my switch getting slower because I’ve had it for almost 3 years now. Minecraft on my switch was working relatively fine when I first purchased it.
@@Le_smit06 or mabey it's just hard to port things. The switch is a hybrid console.
Its only bcz switch has a low end processor right now. MC basically runs on processor. But if u play on a server that has better professor there is much less issues than single player world.
Since i play mc on switch when im not recording, so its a not big deal for me anyway.
Far better than my current phone tho!
same with me i have a world with over 170 mb and it freezes every 4 mins
This version definantly doesn’t compare to console and pc but in a situation like on a road trip it is good enough to sit down and play for a couple hours regardless
And to think the Switch’s Legacy Edition is better optimized than Bedrock even though it came out 1 year before it. And now it was discontinued and can’t be downloaded anymore.
i've been playing Minecraft switch for a few years now and about a year ago i started a creative world where i built a tardis from doctor who with a full interior and everything and i added in loads of commands for sound effects and stuff so its like a proper map and it runs at about 10fps and everytime you open your inventory you get the dreaded loading screen

I've had the weird crashes that come out of nowhere. I've had the game take 15 minutes to load when you boot it, until the Nether update. I have a 4 Gb cloud backup of my Minecraft save file, despite the total of my worlds being less than 300 Mb. So no, he isn't just nitpicking. The Switch version got some serious issues, you are just one of the lucky ones who didn't encountered any of them.
Can you teach me your tricks to getting it to perform well. Before I even make it into the world I want to shut it off because of how much delay the menus have. Also out of curiosity have you played any other version of Minecraft before?
@@ThePolarb3ar I mostly gave up and play on PC now. Still try it from time to time, but i haven't tried since 1.17.

If you would want experience the Nintendo switches Minecraft beautifully, you'd need/want to turn off the following: screen animations; beautiful skies+clouds; lowering the render distance; fancy bubbles; (dock it, like have it on) with at least most of these off then you'd be able to lots of builds, and have a full world of friends 5-8 players.
As a switch player myself, I couldn't agree more. There are an egregious amount of bugs that will cause for you to loose tons (if not all) of your progress in your world. Often just trying to pillar up, you will randomly encounter a ghost block and get pushed off, and when strip mining, often blocks appear to be broken, but after about 5 seconds reappear, suffocating you, and taking your items with. The crashing bugs are also frequent and often loose progress. The worst of all the glitches is that once you reach a certain world file size, your switch won't even let you open Minecraft (on your account). This completely locks you out of the game, and even with bug reports all over the internet, there is no way to fix this. Beyond bugs, just the general look and feel of the game is very jagged, often sides of blocks will become see-through for no reason, chunks refuse to load, and the framerate drops/lag spikes are worryingly frequent. Online is a whole other mess, but I won't get into that. I would not recommend this version to anyone unless it is there only option (as it is for me), as pretty much any other version will give you a much greater experience all around.

I haven’t had any more issues on Switch than I have seen on Xbox One, but it’s definitely not great at times for no reason. Also when there are issues Mojang never fixes them like ever.
Mojang is not responsible for the bedrock edition, Microsoft is. Microsoft doesn't fix the bugs
I noticed that bedrock was buggier on my PS4 initially. Got it on the Switch, but haven’t experienced any bugs there other than bees not behaving as they should. So Switch is my go-to version for quite some time now.

Exactly .
Is it still on sale?
Lol no that was 2 years ago
Mario skins only being available to Switch users makes some amount of sense (as much as I wish it wasn't the case), but Switch users not being able to use those skins on cross-platform multiplayer is Patrick Star level stupid.

yeah I used to play that version on my PS3 but I selled it 2 years ago. :(
You're lucky. Hard to get, I tried to find it when I first bought the game because my friends had that version and had a lot of cool mini games.
i have had a switch survival world I actively play in for 4 years. i take high offense to this video, but you have a point
There's a fatal glitch where all entities, villagers, and animals despawn and it's super common.
My switch runs fine on realm, even runs a realistic texture pack the whole time, never crashed and I tend to use it as my afk secondary account
These are all really good points but the performance I've seen on my Switch has been better than on my Kindle Fire, which I think is younger than the switch and also I believe meant for gaming. The only problem I've had on my switch was it freezing and when I relogged my mule was gone. On the other side I have problems with Minecraft crashing on my Kindle, especially on severs. I have experienced lag on both platforms but I would rather play with lag than crashing
A kindle fire is meant for reading books. I had a kindle fire HD7 years ago and it kinda sucked ngl.
@Kiz_ I'm pretty sure that's just the kindle, kindle fires can be used for games
@@FudgyDuckling yeah I know. The kindle is old now and doesn’t perform good but it used to once upon a time
I hate how they despawn like this
You are so right toycat , when i started playing minecraft again it was on the switch and early on it felt mostly fine but after a few builds I really felt the limitations running around my main base would tank my frames and I wanted to build more and more and the thought of having less frames just made me switch to xbox and its been a much more enjoyable experience
Sounds like a you problem
@@JustJacob01 lol? what toycat stated he experienced the samething so its not just me! Have a wonderful rest of your day hopefully you feel better soon!
@@SamDeCam1 sounds like a you problem
@@JustJacob01 sounds like a you problem
It runs fine in the early stages of a world, but as soon as you want to move on to more involved projects like farms or faster means of transportation the switch is doomed to fail. I cannot handle the speed of horses and boats, the chuncks don’t load faster enought. You can forget Elytra or blue ice highways.
I was getting ready to play Minecraft on my switch when this came out 😂
Saaaame
I've never had a problem with it kinda weird
Consider yourselves lucky. Mine runs so horribly i basically gave up.
I would do it. I play MC on my switch and switch light and they are both fine. The only issues I have is my account constantly getting unlinked. But it’s not that expensive if you already own a switch, I would say at least try it. Because the people who like it like me, LOVE it. It’s so convenient
Glad I'm not the only one having loads of issues. I have honestly tried googling many times if anyone else was having issues and found nothing. I loved the lecacy switch edition and had a world I loved on it and was sad when it was announced to be getting no updates. I really like the concept of Bedrock on switch and I want to love it, but I tried it and had constant crashing, the menus took 2 seconds for buttons to register and had constant framerate issues, not to mention the state of marketplace and character creator performance, which was shocking considering the legacy edition had no issues like it. It feels like it should never have passed Nintendo's cert testing with how buggy and bad it is. I could rant for an hour about all its issues. I don't understand how anyone can enjoy playing its current state but it is consistently one of the best selling games each week and is by far the most popular version. Do they just get lucky with the issues or do they not know any better and how Minecraft could potentially run? And now all this has caused is a dilemma with my world because I'm bored of 1.12 in the legacy edition, hate performance in bedrock on switch and it won't even let me transfer over to Windows where bedrock actually performs well because of an error every time I upload any world to a realm on switch. And to make matters worse it isn't even the hardware that's the problem because running the pocket edition on Android on a modded switch performs much better from my short testing. Just poor optimisation in software, which could be fixed but Microsoft has been focussed on features breaking the game even more. Also I guess this is a good time to mention I also dislike the feel of the right stick in Minecraft. It seems to have a massive deadzone and the sensitivity doesn't go up high enough for my liking, but I'd rather the game actually works than that minor issue was fixed.
Admittedly the latest update does fix a bunch of stuff and I hope that progress can continue, but at this point I just don't trust it to stay like this and not get another update that breaks it again.
I'm sorry I'll admit I didn't read your entire comment, but I agree with what I did have time to read.
I just feel like they don't really care enough about us to focus on helping out with our problems. It feels like we're just an afterthought.... maybe. If they can get around to us. ._.
Oh boy, as a longtime Switch player, MC is HORRENDOUS on Switch, but it has progressively got better… it doesnt kick switch players out of their friends worlds every 5 minutes anymore lol.
Yeah I remember when the music used to skip or get stuck on one part again and again, like how do you mess that up? Lmao
Switch version is the biggest piece of dogshit I've ever played
As someone who is stuck on the switch, I cant help but agree with everything he said. Random frame drops, random crashes, lag while eating the food and in the nether. (The nether can create a lot of block lag sometimes.) I just recently started building a modular, automatic storage system. I was planning on building almost 30 modules. I built four and I'm already noticing a lower frame rate. And flying with an elytra is painful. For example, if I want to find a specific biome. I have to sit on a chunk border waiting for the next chunk to load, it's just so annoying to deal with. This is why I play on java more then bedrock. The only reason I stick with switch is because it is the first version that I played Minecraft on, and that's where all my worlds are. If weren't for those two reasons, I'd be playing Java full time. It might not run the best, but there are mods that can fix that.Also unrelated, but Switch sufferers from the most joy-con drift of any device ever, and I can't get over it.
i did this for 3 years irs not that bad
It really is
@@Sean-D78 its not i got all achievements and had over 1000 treasure wars ones its not bad at all
@@aderangedturtle898 I've had a lot of issues playing the game, long load times, lag, stuttering and lots of bugs.
@@Sean-D78 bugs are on eveey playtform, load times just get used to it its not the end of the world, stuttering is just the frame drops not a big issue and the lag is just your internet it was fine for me
@@aderangedturtle898 the lag isn't from my internet, it happens on offline worlds. Just because you're used to the issues doesn't make it not bad. There are bugs on every platform you're right, but the Switch version has worse bugs compared to the other platforms which affect the experience more often.
Me who plays on switch: *I’ll ignore that*
I agree!
FR LOL
Yes no hate deserved to this video
Imagine being a developer for a company that couldnt port a low-end graphical game from 10 years ago to the Switch.
The switch version of minecraft is so ridiculously laggy, choppy and buggy that i will legitimately play the Wii U legacy console version because it performs more reliably.
Bruh,dude what Switch do you have? Minecraft works perfectly fine for me.
@@Blessyou.21 It doesn't perform well at all. The Switch version can only handle like 8 or 10 chuncks render distance (worse than a cheaper mobile phone) and has lots of FPS drops, LAG and menus are even more laggy than the PS4's ones.
*sees title*
Oh, what else is new?
Thanks God I finally have a PC. Only problem is, is that realms is broken, so I can't upload my world on a realm to transfer. Really blows.
I refuse to pay Microsoft for a month of realms just to move my world from Xbox to PC. I already paid full price for 6 different versions of the game I should be able to transfer between bedrock versions flawlessly.
@@MISTER__OWL Dude, I agree. They should just use something like the instant transfer system that the Wii U and Switch versions had.
I've been playing Minecraft on my Switch for years now and I a sick to DEATH of all the times chunks just wouldn't load in, or my game crashing with no forewarning, or the countless other bugs it has. Needless to say, I'm so relived I finally have Java version. (I know most of these bugs are exclusive to the switch.)
I ignored your warning only to realize that you need Nintendo online to play with lan. It’s so stupid
All Versions Of Minecraft Are Best
I dont think this is a very good representation of the game. It depends on who you are. If you want a plethora of options, mods, and features, yes this isn't right for you. But if you want a version of the game to play on the go, maybe with some siblings or friends, it's great. I've not personally experienced many issues with the game, it's never crashed and it works fine online. I haven't really noticed many stutters either. But again I'm not a huge graphics/performance guy, I may not have even noticed. Again, it all depends on who you are.
I can play servers/worlds with max render distance and max graphics with 30 fps smoothly. But my ping is pretty good so i don't know if that has anything to do with it
I tested the new terrain as an experimental feature on switch, and it seems to work fine.
Try it with elytra
Lmao to be fair, Absolutely ANY switch port will be awful in comparison to literally any other version.
I loved my switch at first, but i quickly realized it was a complete waste of money.
Switch version is fine. Though I guess that may not be true on "1.17" since I still haven't updated because I'm not taking part in their laziness. Beyond that, 1.12 and 1.14 had issues but the rest have been fine.
Also, please don't tell me you were playing connected to the TV. It's a handheld. Docking it actually makes it run worse because it's still throttled but trying to output higher performance.
Handheld is the only way you should be playing anything on Switch.
It's not "laziness", it's to prevent crunch during a global pandemic as
I mostly play docked. Handheld fine just eh don't see reason unless I'm not home
On docked mode the clock speeds are higher so docked mode is supposed to give higher performance and in most games give better performance or higher settings or resolutions on docked mode so no handheld is not the only way you should play on switch and no the switch is not a handheld it is a handheld and home console aka hybrid
@@Sprite897 dude, the dock doesn't give you "better clock speeds" or "better performance" because it's literally just a piece of plastic with a display adapter
@@elijah4168 No its not, nintendo programmed the nintendo switch to have a higher gpu speed in docked mode than in handheld mode the gpu clocks are from 307 mhz to 400 something mhz and docked clock speeds for gpu range from 768 mhz to 1020 mhz
i play Minecraft on the Switch and it's mostly fine, gets pre laggy sometimes though and freezes every no and then.
i would still suggest not telling people to avoid buying the switch version, the portability alone is worth all of the downsides imo.
Same
It *didn't* used to _be like this!_
I bought the Switch version back in 2019. The version that's on the game card, supposedly, was "1.2" or in that neighborhood. That old version used to run _quite well_ on the Nintendo Switch! It was a perfect solution to not being able to run _Minecraft_ on my very outdated computer. Yeah, you still had to log in to _both_ your Nintendo and Microsoft accounts if you wanted your skins, and you can't actually use your _web_ skin without jumping through a lot of questionable hoops, but still… it was _Minecraft_ and it ran well.
As often happens… the game got updates, and the updates made the overhead for the game all the higher, which ended with the game constantly *lagging,* even on the _lowest_ possible settings and just generally being unresponsive. I mean, yes? It's technically still playable? But, why? Why would you _want_ to? Add to the fact that they *removed* the "world size" option entirely (why?!) and the fact that if you *ever* update the game, you will *never* be able to "go back" and play the original version that came on your game card… well… Let's just say that I am a very unhappy gamer.
I suppose if you don't _know_ any better, that's one thing, but even so… this is pretty unacceptable. My laptop isn't much more powerful than my Nintendo Switch - and is probably _weaker_ than, in fact - but you know what? It can run _Java Edition_ just fine. At lower settings and with Sodium, albiet. My laptop can also run _Bedrock Edition_ just fine, even at _higher_ settings! I'm pretty sure my New 2DS XL can run _that_ version of _Minecraft_ perfectly well, too, so… why the heck can't the _Nintendo Switch,_ of all things?
*Edit:*
Yes, I'm talking specifically about the physical version of Mojang's _Minecraft_ for Nintendo Switch released in 2018 onward by Mojang, *not* the version released in 2017 by 4J Studios.
Im pretty sure Mojang did not optimize the Switch version. Bedrock edition should not run this badly and when it first came to the Switch in 2018, it ran pretty well, almost as good as 4J's edition (which has limited world sizes.)
wdym? The carts are read-only, you can just delete the updates off your console and play the version that originally came out on your cartridge
@@kcelej
Nope. As soon as you update the game once, the operating system remembers that the game "needs" an update and refuses to let you run the unmodified version. This even applies to offline, Single Player games, too. The only way to undo this is to either reset the system to its factory default state, or use Custom Firmware.
*Only* the Nintendo Switch does this and I don't know _why._
as someone who has both Java and the switch port. I ONLY play on the switch version when playing with my dad, or when my computer is in the shop.
both me and my sister agree that the Java port is just, better.
now, I actually do like Bedrock in general. the only reason I don't switch to it is cause im a slave to optifine and the resource packs I use.
I have this version and recently did the 1.18 update. I found that it is definitely slow to load chunks, and load in general. However, I find it far easier to control and build large structures with it in creative, and I have not had a single problem with lag that is enough to annoy me, although sometimes there are little quirks like a sound coming in too late. Sometimes, turn the console on and have a Minecraft world already loaded, it will go really slow, like 2 frames per second, until I go out of that world and back in, but I just see that as a quirk, and I have played games just as laggy on my tablet. In fact the only type of “unusable lag” that I have experienced in the game has been an actual part of the game that even PC versions have: distance effects. If you teleport farther than like 1.5 million of so blocks from spawn point, you will start to end up with jitter when walking toward or away from spawn point, but not side to side, and certain objects will not look right. This effect doubles every time you go twice as far, until the game completely breaks.
What
I've played minecraft nintendo switch since it came out and never have had ANY lag
Do you have the 2017 version that came out shortly after the console itself? If so, we’re talking about different games. The game called “Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition” is what’s called a legacy console edition, and was strictly a single player game and different from any PC version. The newer version shown here is just called “Minecraft”. It is just bedrock edition in a switch game card, and currently contains the newest updates, which means it plays more similar to the full-size versions.
@@djijspeakerguy4628 yes I played minecraft nintendo switch edition
Yeah, I heard the 2017 release runs much faster than the one being reviewed here, but has less features. The games may look similar, but they are actually completely different software. If the picture on the cover of your game is different than the one in this video, you have a different version of Minecraft.
The only issue i've ran into is the microsoft sign-in taking a minute or so and the marketplace just not loading (but this doesn't really matter as I dont use it that much) and mojqng is constantly doing small updates to fix the bugs
i love the switch port, yes it has its cons, but to be able to have minecraft on the go (with a actually good controller) is awsome, but i do agree, it should run WAYY better, honestly they should just fix the account problems, render and performace options and loading options, that said i have a 3GB world that runs really good soo
I know how the pirate minecoins under switch all you need to do is get ahold old switch and then modded and then to talk you can get free minecoins with your ammunition
I thought you can’t have more than 2GB worlds on Switch due to the profiles Memory restriction. Did they remove the restrains?
"It works just fine!" until you go into the nether. Once. Slide show time.
Just went in the the nether and have made a few trips and now my over world is very buggy
An update just came out fixing some of these bugs recently. Playing on touch screen sucks, it's horrible. I don't play online. Already bought the game on switch and don't think it is as bad as you say :)
Ok thanks! :)
I like how even though this port is sub-optimal, it has sold millions of copies on the switch
All of bedrock is sub par compared to the better console edition
Maybe because portability sells?
@@ETXellen pocket edition for android and iOS is more accessible, and better, and cheaper
@@WoddCar It being cheaper means nothing. Playing Minecraft on mobile/tablet is literal hell. It’s so clunky, having to use touch screen to do the simplest of inputs. Switch is miles better in terms of comfort and not that far behind in portability.
@@ETXellen as someone who played mcpe for many years, I never had any problems with the controls, which IMO are better than a controller
Minecraft on Nintendo switch is great I don’t care what you say it’s my favorite version mostly because I can’t play Java
probably still runs better than the new 3ds version
10:17 It would be pretty handy if motion controls activated when you tense a bow.
Yeah it was pretty bad when 1.13 came out and 1.14. Haven’t really played switch version in a while though (probably since 1.14).
Also, I literally hate playing this on the switch seeing as it’s laggy everytime I build a lot of structures. It disconnects me from my Microsoft account every 10 minutes prior loading into a world. I have to keep restarting the game to sign into my account properly every single time. I just hate the performance of the game. Minecraft Nintendo switch edition was better because it was BUILT especially for the switch, it always has a stable fps. I used to host a world called sky city and do roleplay with my friends and it was extremely laggy most of the time. Most of the time I’d get disconnected from my account once again and all my friends would get kicked. The unstableness of the game convinced me to switch to Java Edition on my computer full time.
In my opinion I just hate this version of bedrock specifically.
Its not too bad at all especially on a realm where the chunk distance is so small anyway. Chugs a little when loading the world in but other than that pretty smooth. A decent tradeoff to be able to play a full featured version of minecraft portably. Remember with all the new updates minecraft is alot more demanding to run than it looks
I have the 3DS version(more specifically all "New Nintendo 3DS" systems) of Minecraft and from what I can remember, I never had performance issues with it. You get about 8 skin packs (including Mario) and a few texture packs, (or maybe the other way around) it also has a Mario world. Im not sure if its the same world as the one on the switch tho. Im not sure what the price is, as I got it for Easter. I'm assuming it's 20-30 dollars. As good as it seems, it's not actually that great.
1. Limit to worlds
You can only make about 10, which was a huge downfall for me when on my ps3 I have possibly over 50 or 100 worlds.
2. Barely any items
Im not even sure what version it is, but im pretty sure there isn't even stuff from 1.12. There might not even be any specific version, it could just have random blocks.
Would I recommend it? No. Although you get "freebies," the price is really only a bit cheaper if you were gonna buy the texture packs and skins. The limit to worlds and blocks just isn't worth it, just buy pocket edition if you want to play minecraft, and then you'll get to have any worlds and blocks you want. Plus, you'll have free skins because you can just download skins from like skinseed or a skin website.
Edit 10/6/21:
I checked the E Store and the latest update for minecraft was on 1/15/19. Its stated as "1.9," but in the description of the update, it states its the same as MCPD 1.1.5. So in other words, woodland mansions.
Mc for the 3DS is super trash im sorry but you can't move the camera
@@LimeLoaf yea it does suck, but you can move the camera, its just not convenient.
