Why Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch SUCKS…
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- The Nintendo Switch should be able to run Minecraft Bedrock Edition perfectly, fine, right? Like, anything can run MCBE... or so I thought. Even mid to low end tablets can run Pocket Edition (MCPE) better than it. This video is a criticism of the Switch, and I discuss why Minecraft (and other games) should probably run better than they actually do. I discuss things like game performance, how un-user friendly things like Switch Online and the lack of custom skins or PVP texture packs, and I even 1v1 some of the best Nintendo Switch players. All of this commentary, over some RTX Minecraft cinematics and some Nintendo Switch Hive and Cubecraft Skywars gameplay.

Some of the gameplay for this video was recorded on my Switch, while streaming on Twitch! Crazy how words work like that 🤔 www.twitch.tv/potatopie25
Sure bro
As a Nintendo switch Minecraft player since the legacy edition for the Switch and 2,530 hours. I can confirm that I it takes forever to load, BUT since the latest update and downloading minecraft directly to the system memory the loadings times are way reduced only a min to load.
With the bugs were you get an invalid session I just swap from local play then back to online by pressing y. Also, I have to reconnect my account once or twice a month.
Forget about having a long term single player world, I have a 250 mb world it lags so frigging much and crashes every 10 min. Sometimes I can't even open chests or open UI without it crashing its rlly bad.
I have beat my friends on pcs butterfly clicking and I absolutely Destroy them that's the 2k hours. I probably won't be very good bc the friggen game won't work in the latest version. So yeah...
SO less time in the loading screen but game crashes and bugs out in a 200mb world
This is confirmed and happened to me as well. I also quit playing for a awhile but ended up just making a WHOLE NEW profile, Nintendo account and online account, but imo other than that it’s not really that bad kinda sad to see this
Or you just have a skill issue
Switch on Twitch, a good successor of Elf on a Shelf
The Switch hardware isn't the whole issue.
Bedrock on consoles is just pretty shoddy in general (I've had it literally hard crash my Xbox on numerous occasions)
If you compare it to their Console Edition contemporaries the difference in performance and stability can be shocking.
Mojang needs to make some heavy optimisation on Bedrock for consoles and it's crazy that it's been like 6 years since Better Together and many of the issues that people reported then still exist.
Agree
Huh. My hard crash game is usually MCC after around two to three hours of gameplay....
i legit get like 30-50 fps on my xbox one s just trying to play a normal survival world
I agree with that and I own a Nintendo Switch with the $20 expansion pack I also think they should have an entity render distance and particle limiter in the game cuz those are the main 2 things they should have in the game but other than that the weird bugs at startup don't require restart you have to wait just like the server list and friends list and some things Mojang added "help the community" but yet people are reporting 1.2 Million bugs a year but only 3% gets patched
I agree. Minecraft Switch edition (aka Console edition) runs at a beautiful 60 fps for me. I never experienced a single problem with it.
There used to be a glitch on the switch where if you had enough data on Minecraft, the game would take about 30 minutes to start. This made me stop playing the game for about a year
I had that, it was so annoying
same
i had it too
Yeah that sucked so bad (and it was a system update that fixed it, not even Mojang for me)
That's becaause u hhave to much data and u either have to remove all your data of Minecraft or you have to get a micro sd card for memory
It ran legacy edition very well, so this is a bedrock problem, not a switch problem
Even then, it’s a pain to play on it.
4j studios also did a really good job at making it that way.
bedrocks peformance is just ass, i like get more than 60 fps on java and i literally just get 30 to 50 fps when playing bedrock (playing on my old low medium end pc), defo a bedrock problem
Indeed
A friend of mine had Minecraft legacy on PS4, the moment it switched to bedrock the lag was unbearably horrible
@@tigeriily5059 Not really, I play Bedrock on the PS4 and it doesn’t lag unless some asshole spams Lingering Potions for 10 Minutes. Switch Problem.
Issue isn't the switch hardware. I know this cause when bedrock originally came out on the switch it ran smooth as butter. They haven't been keeping up with optimization on the switch. Which sucks cause I know the switch could run it just fine if the just took the time to optimize it better.
I agree, I remember when the chunks would load so quick and everything ran smoothly, but as time went on, it got worse and worse.
Every time I travel somewhere always have to wait by the unloaded chunks to load for about a minute or 2, just to do it all over again.
I have lost many horses due to the game glitching out having me close the game, re open it, then I am teleported to a random location with my horse no where in sight.
I am good at playing on the switch but these bugs that I have mentioned plus everything else needs to be fixed :/
Not just the switch they haven't been optimizing it for all consoles in general, I have an xbox one s and when i tried to create a world it took me at least 12-15 minutes to load in
@@Sukuna2437 It's also not just consoles, the PC and mobile version of bedrock runs like shit now too. In reality, there is no platform that runs bedrock well, bedrock's performance has just been that awful.
@@stevensanchez1192 Also, bedrock is coded using the main language of each hardware, for example android=kotlin, windows=c++, so there has to be adjustments for each device and what makes the lag even more is that bedrock has technical features in the behavior pack and resource pack so it makes the apk heavie
Make sure the game is installed on the system not on the SD card, loads faster.
A lot of the issues on the switch version of minecraft are (in my opinion) because the original legacy console edition was a lot more optimised and so ran a decent bit better - also a lot of games designed for the switch don’t run badly at all. The issue is that mojang isn’t bothering to optimise it.
Optimizing the ancient 2015 hardware with very slow eMMC is already a challenged.
Some of those games run well because most of them are in house games, others are significantly downgraded to look very blurry just to get playable 30 fps
@@superqaxclub if you litteraly can run Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal on stable 30 FPS, then Minecraft on Switch (not Legacy) was just poorly optimised and not realy thoughtfull
@@Crocdor_UwU Based
@@Crocdor_UwU not all developers are the same, doom is not the same as minecraft, one is stage based game and one is infinite open world that you can do literally anything, so optimizing open world is the big task, and the game can't expect what you put in the game (1000 tnt? 1000 mobs? Tony stark base? Complicated redstone?). Plus they have to support a lot of devices cross-platform (thousands of pc specs, thousands of phones, ps4, xbox one, xbox series, switch), can't blame the devs when they have to work there arse out to optimize half of ancient hardware in the list (2013 xbox one, 2013 ps4, 2015 switch, various weak mobile phone and pc)
@@superqaxclub wow If Skyrim can run on stable 30 FPS then Minecraft should definetly be able to be run on at least 30 FPS 💀

Hey watermelon I can aggre with u bc I have gotten in a game witbu before and I did combo u but u had an amazing clutch that I can hardly pull off so I can agree u are good on switch if u would like I can send u the clip of it but that's it and I think u r a very good switch player
Same here
Same here
I am not sure if this is a good example, as I have seen more demanding games run pretty well. It’s all about optimization. Some developers are good, some are bad, and some are questionably terrible at it.
Yeah bedrock edition performance is super bad. My PC runs PUBG on high setting better then minecraft on medium low settibg
@Jeff its not, really, on high end pc’s bedrock can render up to 96 chunks with decent enough performance, unless you’re talking about java but thats just badly optimized
@@laserfoxpro PC and mobile have the better optimization for bedrock, it's just console that's left in the corner.
@@RealValkorjava on pc isn't optimized at all it runs on single core which means you would have so much less performance over all unlike bedrock and for optimization of bedrock for console then they are already doing that the bedrock for ps5/xbox series X is running like an emulator for bedrock and they are currently working to make one optimized for them.
And for switch... Don't get me wrong but it's hardware looks like something from ps3/xbox 360 which is probably why it could run lagacey minecraft better than bedrock (it stuck on 1.12 which is why it doesn't take that much performance) that's because after 1.13 so many servers stopped updating because of it and bedrock is the same 1.2 was good and optimized just like lagacey so i don't think its bedrock problem
@@NotTured what do you mean by stuck on 1.12? Do you mean the bedrock switch version or the legacy version? The legacy version was finished on 1.13 actually, with the aquatic update.
What really annoys me is how you can't get the Legacy Console Edition version of Minecraft on Switch anymore since it had no physical release and the digital is of course delisted. One thing I always wanted to play but couldn't because I didn't have a Wii U was the Minecraft Super Mario Mashup Pack, and so when I got Minecraft Bedrock for the Switch (I didn't get my switch in time to get the Legacy Console version) I was excited to finally play it. But it turns out it's completely BROKEN in Bedrock, many of the redstone contraptions like the Yellow Switch Palace don't work, the vanilla villages are deserted, some of the features are flat-out missing, and the infinite world generation being applied by force even though the original pack didn't use it messes up several things (Delfino Plaza is literally SNOW-COVERED, and the ocean there is FROZEN, like WHAT?!) and also causes a lot of lag and makes the game dip into _30fps_ at the edges of the map where the new terrain starts for some reason. So that was all a massive disappointment, and because they delisted the Legacy Console version for some reason (which I still don't understand, Bedrock is so different that it can't be a perfect replacement and keeping it up on the shop wouldn't harm Mojang financially because either way the user is still paying them to play Minecraft) I can't actually play the map as it was intended to be played anymore unless I get a Wii U. Both versions should be available to buy on Switch (or any system that has both, tbh).
100% agree. I was used to playing the mini games on the Wii U console version. I was disappointed you couldn’t play them on Switch because it’s only in the old version that’s delisted. I’d legitimately pay for an older copy of the game just to play the original minigames on Switch but I can’t because it’s delisted.
I was lucky enough to get the legacy console version on the switch. I didn't know that there wasn't a physical release.
Nostalgia aside.I honestly like console version played on a console more than bedrock played on a console (of course if they did add the current updates) :)
@@dry4smash946 Almost like Console Edition was specifically designed for consoles, while Bedrock was made for a different platform (mobile) and then just force-ported onto everything else.
@@legoboy7107 yes and thats why i just dont like it… and also aside from the pc sweats that ur gonna probably encounter if ur trying to actually play hive or any server
The problem is Bedrock and Mojang not optimizing their game for the target hardware, I still play Minecraft Legacy Edition which was developed by 4J specifically for the Switch and it’s smooth as butter, the difference is night and day. The Bedrock on Switch experience has actually gotten worse over the years, and I bought Minecraft the day it came out on Switch, so the hardware is definitely underpowered but really it’s a lack of optimization problem, and the session bugs are not the Switch’s fault, it’s their buggy engine.
In my opinion, since the new 1.16 updates, my phone can't and literally won't let me play properly without dropping frames or lagging. It's also for me to mention that my phone has decent RAM. We really need Microsoft to optimize bedrock more.
mimku
@@Riftio617 hatune mik
lmao and you think ram is the only thing that matter?
@Leonardo Matheus With a game as simple as minecraft you don't need a insane gpu. CPU and Memory are pretty much the only thing that matters, so yeah more RAM would probably fix it. If the game isn't managing its resources properly then it'll lag like it does on switch.
@@bivee3 hasumimi
lmao really, we're still blaming the switch for things like this and comparing it to a tablet? STILL? man, the switch can run much more demanding games just fine.
Just tried to open a chest in my single player world, it took 30 seconds...
I uh- im literally speechless
WOW! The longest I’ve ever had was 22 seconds, that’s impressively unimpressive!
@@Gale_789 22? not bad at all…
It took me 54 seconds to pause the damn game lmao
@@Gale_789 the longest for me was 1 second and I was using an emulator
I remember playing on a friend's world, he was on switch and I was on pc, and it was beyond abysmal. The first few days of playing were fine, but soon after beating the ender dragon, the world refused to load chunks. Like you would go someplace and tons of chunks weren't loaded and it would take several minutes for them to load, just to move like 100 blocks and do it all over again.
For real it's infuriating
These are not only problems on Switch but generally a bedrock problem
@@Crocdor_UwU it’s true
@@Crocdor_UwUi dont have it
@@Crocdor_UwUnah
I agree with the fact that minecraft isnt the greatest on the nintendo switch, and that is is definitely underpowered, but one of the main reasons to get a switch in the first place isnt to mainly play games using super high graphics, but to play the games that are exclusive to the switch, like mario odyssey, botw, splatoon 3 for example. the example you gave comparing minecraft on a switch to a cheaper android tablet did show the performance difference vs the price difference between the two, but the android tablet isnt able to natively run probably around 99% of the games the switch has to offer (btw 2018 switches can actualy run android in a way without jailbreaking the switch). yes you can use an emulator on android, but unless you own those games you intend to play on it in a legal way which will cost you money, you either have to pirate, or not use the emulator at all. also people playing minecraft on the switch probably would just be looking to play survival are creative mode in singleplayer or with their friends, but probably the featured servers which are pretty much just cashgrabs. dont forget that the nintendo switch is made to be portable, and with its size its not very easy to fit powerful gpu with performance near the xbox series x or ps5, and its intended for the casual gamer, just like the wii was , and dispite it having much worse performance than its competitors at the time, it sold way better than all of them. and tbh, its kinda unfair to judge a console by the way it can run minecraft.
Regardless, if they're offering a game on Switch, it should meet certain baseline technical standards. The current state of the game on Switch (and other consoles apparently) is atrocious, and I'm amazed more media outlets haven't called them on it.
You clearly missed the point of the video. The video isn't about why, generally speaking, the Switch is a bad console. It's about why Minecraft on the Switch is a bad experience - and why you're better off playing the game on something else.
For a bit more information on the specs, it specifically uses the Tegra X1 chip. A chip from 2015 made to be used in the Nividia Sheild TV (basically a roku or Apple TV). It’s overall close in power to something like a 360 or ps3.
Lmao no. Switch is significantly more powerful than a 360 or a PS3, although lacking behind Xbox One / PS4.
The issue with Minecraft isn’t the switch itself. The legacy console version ran great on Switch, just as it did on Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, 3DS, Wii U, Xbox One, and PS4 before it - the problem here is the poorly optimized bedrock version, which runs like crap on all consoles. This one’s on Mojang and Microsoft.
If they’re going to fix it, they’ll need to work on it.
@@Mancan76 Yeah, Mojang in general is terrible at optimizing their games
@@Mancan76 take out 3DS from that list, it ran like garbage on it...
Yeah but its a custom chip designed and optimized for the hardware
@@Leon-um1zj 3ds didnt even look like others legacy edition lmao
That isn't Nintendo's fault, Mojang just don't optimize their games enough, we can see the Switch run games like BOTW, and nobody owns a Nintendo Switch only for Minecraft, you buy a Switch for exclusive games
@KristiyanT It's just poor optimization
@KristiyanT Smash Ultimate is the best fighting game, it's perfect, and Nintendo has never been next gen, they have always been innovative, the only issue since 2017 I've had with the Switch it's the JoyCon drift, resolved with some Isopropyl Alcohol
@KristiyanT The online of Smash is like that because it's a flighting game so if someone has a shitty WiFi everyone lags for more precision
To be honest when I first got a switch and started playing Minecraft on it those were my first thoughts but once I got used to the mechanics it’s really not like that except for the loading takes like six years-
at 1:00, it says "if you're reading this, you're probably observant enough to notice that the background gameplay also sucks, and that's because i recorded it on the switch for the *immersion*. yes i know it's bad, deal with it, this is gameplay for the video"
Lol my switch cant open the dressing room without a freeze and it about every 5 minutes freezes
I hate how people always say oh blah blah blah minecraft on the switch is so bad but when really it's completely fine😑
cope
Negative people dont touch grass.
As a switch player, yes. can confirm that all of these bugs shown are actully things we have to deal with. For me these bugs like sign-out glitch dosent really happen to me that often. But for whatever reason, i dont get the pink glitch on my switch, like at all which is pretty cool.
FYI i was on the switch for 2 years, i can confirm pink glitch never happened to me because renderdragon was not supported until 1.17.30. however it is possible now. and the sign out glitch happened to my cousin, and it took me about 3-4 minutes to open minecraft. I can confirm every issue he stated has happened to me when i played the switch edition of minecraft.
I never got the pink glitch on switch but I have got it on my Xbox tons of time
I am on pc now, and even on pc i havent gotten it
i used to have super slow loading times (~40 minutes), but i tried deleting all save data (rip my old worlds) and it started actually working again. until 1.18 dropped (rip my best world)
@@denlewl gotta say, must be painful with 40 minute loading times
I think that it isn’t the switch’s problem about how buggy Minecraft is, there are plenty of games, including Fortnite (more intensive than minecraft should ever be) that run perfectly fine on the switch. It’s the fact that the MCBE team doesn’t care for optimization at all.
Minecraft is definitely more intense than Fortnite, everything in Fortnite is pre rendered Minecraft has to do world generation on the fly which is very CPU intensive and has a lot of data to keep track up Fortnite is just one map that mostly doesn't change
@@The_MEMEphis wdym it doesn't change
@@anthonydoesstuff the Fortnite map general landscape stays the same between updates
@@The_MEMEphis not as much in bedrock
The only problem is that every cpu has multiple cores in it but minecraft only uses a single one. Cpu cores have hardly improved since minecraft was made which is why Java and bedrock have painful amounts of lag.
I mean people are so picky nowadays, expecting pc performance and graphics out of a handheld system. Be realistic and enjoy it for what is it.
I owned the 4j studios version before they made the bedrock edition so I can redownload it from the eShop, and I almost cried when I did the other day. Bedrock is so so so so so buggy and the 4j studios version feels smooth as butter. It also feels like Minecraft java edition which makes me sad that they don't update it anymore.
The way to fix the main menu things not loading is just that you have to wait for like a min and it will all load, and how to fix the friends/server list not popping up is just to go back to the main menu and wait for like a min, and how to fix the marketplace problem is to go to the Nintendo switch settings at the home menu and go to manage software and select minecraft and press check for corrupt data and it will check and it will take a couple minutes to load and after that it will either say that no corrupt was found or was found then press redownload when it said that and that’s all
I play on switch and I can relate. I always get these glitches and when someone says “HoW Do YoU PlAY On 30 FpS it surprises them. The switch in my opinion is a great system as I have been playing on Joycons for forever. Sure, it isn’t a fancy Rtx pc, but it’s playable. I normally experience ping and lag spikes. I lag when I start combos and it ruins my combos sometimes. You just need to restart your switch if you expierience that issue.
yeh cactus i agree. were both top 15 all time switch so i def relate aswell.
its not on 30 fps its changed to make it way better if u check in the settings it says the fps
30 even 60 fps is unplayable for a game like minecraft
@@dinosharttt 60 fps unplayable for minecraft is absurd you must get 300 fps daily
Bedrock runs so poorly on any device bro, legacy edition ran very well there
How the hell could a console from 2005 run minecraft better than the switch
I think you’re forgetting that there are many other good games on the switch. (Zelda BOTW, Mario Odyssey, and MK8 Deluxe are a few of them). You’re acting like somebody is going to buy a switch just to play Minecraft, which probably nobody is going to do. Also, how are you going to compare the switch to an $100 Android tablet? It doesn’t make sense.
That is very true
I actually play Minecraft on Switch a lot. Have 1,445 hours on the game, and I can say that a lot of the issues are pretty bad. I've had several crashes on my friends realm just from trying to open my inventory, a chest, hopper, crafting table, or furnace. It's honestly a pain and needs some kind of fix, but it's not too terrible, at least in my own opinion. I do plan on playing on PC once I do get one, but Switch will have to be my main for a while lol
Also, I have played with keyboard and mouse on a PS5 my friend has, and it's not that bad considering I mainly use controller a lot
Also, I've never actually had the issue with Minecraft taking a while to load, mine loads within about 10-20 seconds. The only thing that takes a while is the Marketplace content, so it could be a storage thing(?)

Definitely agree, I am glad someone finally made a video about this.
The Switch also has a huge problem with running out of disk space on the Switch for your local personal Minecraft worlds. You are only allowed to use a small part of disk space and with the newer taller terrains in 1.18 you use up your small allotment of memory space very quickly. Thee Switch limits how much disk space each game is allowed to use on the console with no exceptions.

It's not the switch that's bad, it's bedrock's poor optimization and 4j studio's amazing legacy versions. 4j studios actually cared about the game, they made Minecarts faster because you wouldn't use it if it wasn't fast. If you hold the place button it will place blocks exactly how you want then to. They even made tutorials levels, while bedrock just has text. Microsoft just rushed bedrock on the switch for the better together update.
Fun fact : I play it on Nintendo cuz I'm broke af-
Personally I don't have these issues playing minecraft on my Nintendo switch. Also the switch is not made for minecraft to be honest the switch is not poorly made at all it is made for other reasons its Nintendo so its made for their games not made for a huge game like minecraft. For example Legend of Zelda is a great running game unless you purposely crash it. The Nintendo switch hardly crashes to unless you have the most dog water mc donalds wifi. The case is that he totally dogd the switch for not able to run minecraft.
It's also 300 dollars. It's not made with crazy good parts like a pc, Xbox, or ps5. It is still a great console compared to their older ones. They have improved and they still have the worlds time to fix it also.
The Switch (and the Wii U even) ran the port by 4J Studios just fine as those were made tailored for the hardware.
Mojang just needs to work on making it run better.
Potato pie is kinda spoiled with a nice pc. The lag you showed and how long it took to load is just average stuff for everyone on an affordable console or mobile device. Don’t think you have the best perspective on this.
Lol
had a city made in survival, went exploring and the render was so bad i couldn’t even find my city, went in creative and still couldn’t find it, switch minecraft sucks
Cords
I got the game running on my Steam Deck, and it's just a night and day compared to my switch. Solid 60fps everywhere, custom textures and shaders, it's so much nicer to play. And the trackpads actually help a lot.
I gave up on playing 3rd party games on the switch. There's always some input lag that I cannot place, and the 30 ish fps just isn't enough for me.
For example, Rocketleague plays at 90fps at the highest settings on my Deck, with barely any input lag. The switch version gets between 40 and 60 on performance mode, but also has a ton of input lag.
I used to play minecraft exclusively on the switch, and I have experienced all of these bugs. Back when I played (1.16), it was tolerable enough to get used to and pretty good at. But with all of the huge updates in the past years, I feel that its gotten much worse. Maybe I'm just mad because I can't play my old survival world that I spent 100s of hours on because of 1.18.
I miss my sky base
Don't forget the fall damage bug
and that bug that ignites you if you *look like* you're going to walk or fall into lava or fire
but the swimming bug that let you climb the cieling was actually pretty cool
so was the air bubble elevator (I spent hours making a 2x2x70 air bubble elevator for my sky base 💀(it was so cool))
2:44 I believe this is a bug as I had the same problem but MUCH more extreme taking 30+ minutes to load, resulting in having to wipe my save data. After wiping it loads much better.
you need a micro sd card then.

I actually think it looks really good in docked mode and I think most games look worse on it. I have it on mobile too but I prefer the switch. That's just me I know nothing of this game but I'm glad I'm getting into it because this is a game I'll be able to play with the kids when they are no longer at home. That's pretty cool to me.

So what? You never had to to pay for online on the wii or wii u and the switch's online services are worse quality.
and the reason nintendo's is so much cheaper than xb/ps is because they make actually good games
Wii U never did anything like this and yet people will rush to tell you how bad it is
Yeah it got so bad for me I had constant frame rate drops my world wouldn't load as in the chunks would become a void and I just got so tired I decided to waste $28 to buy Minecraft for PS4 and get realms so I could actually play my game and the world i have had for 3 years
They charge money to play online for consoles because I'm pretty sure the companies lose money selling the consoles,they attract you with cheap consoles then charge to play
Not the switch
Nintendo sells their consoles at a profit
You can get custom texture packs on consoles, it’s tedious but if you have access to RUclips you’re able to do it. It’s not for moderation, but because on consoles you can’t download things like you can on pc and mobile.
2:28 Mobile APUs have actually gotten really good as of late. _So_ good that any flagship phone made in the last few years is fast enough to _literally emulate Switch games._ Some of them even run them _SO MUCH FASTER_ than the Switch itself.
From what I've experienced on the Switch version of Minecraft, it does run terribly. Whenever I start a solo world, some of the audio just cuts, whenever I get into a boat, the world just doesn't load in fully so I don't know if I'm ever hitting land or just on the water. It really got annoying and I've just uninstall it and I never will play the Switch version again for how poorly it runs. The Switch isn't even a very powerful system. On occasion, certain animal mobs were glitching and their model went full shade of black. I mean, you could not see their faces. I had issues where villagers doesn't show their professions. So it really made trading hard in knowing who had a farmer position and who was a cleric etc. Like you said, the loading is awful. Whenever I play as Steve, I'm then randomly playing as Alex and I never even changed the character. I'm planning on coming off the console version of Minecraft and I am planning on getting a PC. I probably get more of a better experience than on console. PlayStation and Xbox versions plays well. The first time I played Minecraft was on Xbox 360 and that was about 8 years ago. I then got the Pocket Edition, because I wanted to play on the go. It just felt weird playing it on mobile. I play on the PlayStation version. As well as it plays well on the PlayStation, the only issue I had was signing in. Everytime I go to sign it, I get the message saying I had an account already linked to the game, so it would not let me sign in at all. I've never played the PlayStation version so I knew that was just a load of rubbish. It was embarrassing that I had to keep asking my friend to send me the seed over to play with him on his world. So I tried different editions to see if I would have any luck signing in (that was the reason I got the Switch version). I successfully signed in on the Switch and also on the mobile. I got that again to try to sign in. I signed out of my account and tried again on the PlayStation version, I still had no luck. I checked on my Microsoft account and I had no devices linked to my account at all. So I just gave up trying and played on the PlayStation version without using the online features.
This doesn’t happen on my switch . The only problem I have sometimes is chunks take a while to render. Barely happens often though. And on public servers it runs great
@TokyoFool I’ve never experienced any of these issues other than a few chunk problems, so I don’t know what you’re on about. I’ve got a survival world, a bit creative world, and I play public servers a lot on it and it runs great.
@@jetpond7904 ok bucko i know your that you are lying, you are obvoiusly a Nintendo empolyee
@@ThatBoiLake who spit in your coffee this morning? Are you mad because I get to have a good switch experience and you don’t? Lol go deal with it
@@ThatBoiLake I have heard that some Switches run Minecraft significantly better than others. Also, the Switch could be newer, Minecraft installed smoother, and there worlds have less entities in them. This is coming from a player where it takes 15 minutes from starting up my game to opening my inventory, and on average it takes 30 seconds for a mined block to visually disappear (due to autosaving).
Do you play Minecraft digital or on cartridge
for me minecraft loads up fine on the switch. there is the invalid session problem which sucks but the problem of not being looged into the microsoft account usually fixes itself as in it logs itself back in. I haven't played any online games on the switch tho
Playing Minecraft Java on my Steam Deck is far better than any Bedrock iteration.
tegra was NOT designed to be put into mobile phones. also. tegra, if I'm not mistaken, was the first chip designed for android devices that featured directs support. tegra was a really powerful CPU back then (before switch release), it was actually used on nvidia's own shield tablet and shield tv, which were NOT the same as a normal smartphones and not even the same as normal tablets and tv boxes. there might be some grammatical and speech errors and also I might have made a few mistakes about hardware, but the thing is since switch is capable of running normal android, im pretty sure andorid version of Minecraft will run better on it while at the same time giving more freedom and features than switch version, so the hardware is not really a problem.
What I hate about the switch is that it is practically unplayable if you don’t have like every setting on minimum, and it also is just so annoying to wait several minutes just to play
80% of the time I log on, I have to wait a full minute on the Home Screen for it to automatically sign in
Bruh Fr it’s logged out everytime I go in
@@Matt7000YT same man I just spam login till it shows my mc account. Also 1 question I only found out about the option to add servers besides the featured servers recently but still haven't found a reliable way to do it any ideas?
it is always so annoying
I have none of these issues, I don’t know why everyone else does but it could depend on the age of your switch or how well you’re taking care of it. Or your wifi
@@jetpond7904 probably wifi and switch age, Comcast is the worst :(
runs good on my end 🤷♂
I own a switch, and i happened to get mjnecraft on it, and i don't know what you guys experiences are, but i tried out split screen with 3 people and the game ran so badly it wasn't worth playing, the fps dropped to 30 before being so laggy that is was unplayable, sometimes getting to 15 fps if i were to guess
The issue is bedrock edition, not the nintendo switch.
You wanna know what doesn't suck? Minecraft LEGACY on nintendo switch, you can only get a year or so after switch release. It literally never lags unless you force it to.
This is exactly why I switched to Windows 10/11 Bedrock.
Why do you play bedrock if you have a pc
@@ish_ Yh java is miles better, and with optifine or sodium it runs alright, even on my 7 year old potato laptop
@@ish_ i have both bedrock and java
@@ish_ I play bedrock even though I have a pc simply because I like bedrock mechanics more(in my opinion) and all my friends play minecraft on ipad or phone
@@Crispified no your bad. First javas system requirements are to much. Second. Your a Lyer. Therd. Minecraft bedrock requirements are good enough and on low end devices you can chose perfect performance settings that won't affect your gameplay. And you don't know anything about bedrock edition but I agree that bedrock on switch is bad but not on other devices
3:44 no the invalid game session error fixes itself once the skin finishes loading
This is totally a Bedrock problem. Not the Switch does need to be updated.
you know what's the craziest thing?
*CRAZY* mariobros beat minecraft on a nintendo switch and it's real
Minecraft on Switch has been going through something comparable to dementia since mid 1.17 onwards.
It was never the same after 1.18.30.
I'm still holding onto a shred of hope that Mojang would at least improve 30% of overall optimization before completely dropping support for the switch, which I think will happen soon.
P.S. The jungle leaves are still opaque & the bug tracker said it's fixed lmao sad
Wait what's wrong with jungle leaves?
@@thedagenator2006 It looks as if you turn off fancy graphics, but the leaf item itself is normal.
On other Bedrock platforms, they look fine. Seems to be only on Switch.
Fun fact. NVIDIA Tegra is also used in computers like Microsoft Surface 1 and 2.
Not exactly the same chip that was the tegra 3 a much older chip the chip the switch uses was made in 2015 and was used in the Nvidia tablet and TV
also, my old ps4 takes UP TO 40 MINUTES TO LOAD MINECRAFT AND HAS A DOWNLOADING PACKS ERROR WHENEVER I TRY TO DO ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES DOWNLOADING RECOURCE PACKS INCLUDING JOINING SERVERS while my switch doesn't have either of those issues and only takes 10 seconds at most to start up and about 1 minute to load the skin
and ps4 can't use achievements
@@8crafterSwitch can’t use achievements either.
Sincerely, a switch user (struggling)
him: Can you actually be good at minecraft on switch
Me: 3 years of sweat and tears am I a joke to you
I've played Switch MC for over 2k hours, and i would say it's not that bad. it does take a bit to get on minecraft but you get used to it. the FPS for me isn't that bad either since i can still aim on 97 sensitivity, and I don't encounter the bugs often. It's still worse than other devices, but it's half underrated imo
JakerBaker
@@Bisectqr Isaacthecool1
Hello jakerbaker39
Yeah me neither had really those bugs and i can aim 100 sensitivity and combo :)
ye switch in my opinion is very good of course when there's too much memory its takes time.but that's telling you to get a micro sd card or just wipe out the data.for me I would just buy I micro sd card
correct me if I'm wrong but i dont think 4J's switch version had this many issues, bedrock in general has lots of issues each seperate console version didn't have, why mojang decided to ditch them is beyond me, surely 4J Studio's could've done something to make each console version connect with eachother
The problem isn't the Switch hardware. It's the game itself. Mojang hasn't bothered to optimise their game well enough so we're left with this
Good
There’s two versions of MC on the Switch and the current one that is receiving updates (the one you’re talking about in this vid) is AWEFUL!
The other version, however, is a much better version that plays far better, no lag (although limited worlds), but it hasn’t received an update since it’s first year of release I believe.
I’d much prefer to play the original release version but it is so outdated at this point :/
The Steam Deck is portable yet able to play pc games like mw2 and fortnite pretty well but is also abt the same price as the switch being around $400
The Deck has minecraft?? That sounds badass if true
It might be a bit scuffed but it’s not that bad
No it is that bad
It just comes to Mojang's poor optimization though
Ive been playimg its as good as on XBOX
Surprisingly it isn't the Switch hardware that is the issue. This is a Bedrock issue in general. I've played on my phone, my old Xbox One, my cousin's PS4, and of course my Switch. ALL of them have the same problems. Market place being slow and sometimes showing file names, signing me out, skins taking forever to load, constant lag spikes during gameplay, certain sound effects missing or playing way too late, certain blocks disappearing or appearing too late, the invalid session thing appearing but usually it corrects itself after a few seconds, and mobs lagging. These are all the issues I've encountered. I've even turned off fancy graphics and turned the render distance down, and all of this still happened. I also play on my PC too but usually it runs just fine. It seems like Microsoft really only cares about PC at the moment and isn't really optimizing Bedrock for the other platforms. What ticks me off is that Bedrock actually used to run very well on these platforms, even the Switch. After 1.13 it started to go downhill.
Okay, yes there are "some" truths to this video. For example sometimes it does say invalid session on the marketplace when you load up Minecraft and yes you do have to reset the game to fix it. But I can argue a lot of other stuff. I play Nintendo switch Lite, out of all the systems people would assume that one to be the most worst. But, on an average the longest time it took me to load into Minecraft was probably about 15 seconds, the quickest time is around 5 seconds. I also have a world that I started all the way back in mid 2021 that I use as my main survival world. Right now it is sitting at approximately 332.4 MB, the longest is taking me to load into that world was probably a minute but the shortest time was probably at least 3 seconds. I have not experienced any graphical issues when loading into the world. When I sit down and go into a server it's not as bad as you're showing it as. I haven't experienced any lag, surprisingly (especially for being a Nintendo switch Lite). And I feel like in my opinion it's a lot better than how you're making it to seem.
Tbh I have not had any of these problems other than the shop glitch but overall it really great on my switch lite
Same
As someone who used to play mc on the switch, it is definitely intended for the casual Minecraft experience, or more specifically the survival experience. Because I am more of a survival player, I had a lot more fun that someone who wants to pvp. I think with that mindset the switch version is alright. However it gets very laggy as more updates gets added, and I really don’t see the situation getting better. The switch was always meant for the casual user, not for someone who wants to grind out the game seriously
TLDR switch mc is best experience in a survival world, maybe with friends but that gets laggy, not really sweaty pvp
Thanks for being sensible
You can play with your friend in the switch too ( offline in 1 switch ) but There is a hoge amount of lag whilst playing and loading Chunks you sometimes looks like your flying ik the void beacus it didn’t load yet
( sorry die any bad spelling i am Dutch )
I don't really agree with most of the stuff said in this video. The switch is incredibly made and runs games pretty well. Not all of them run perfectly but that's the trade off of having a portable console. Fortnite and Apex run with no issues albeit with lower frame rates than xbox or playstation consoles. But that's fine because if you want to play high powered games you can buy an xbox series s for 50$ less than the switch. Minecraft however has problems galore on all platforms, but alot more than usual on the switch. But it's not nintendo's fault because Minecraft ran incredibly on the Wii U, a console from 2012 with approx. 80% less power than the Switch. Also, the version made before bedrock edition (the 4J studios version) runs flawlessly on switch, which you can see for yourself by buying a physical copy of it or if you owned minecraft on the eshop before bedrock edition was released. It's a good video overall but most of the problems are blamed on the switch rather than mojang for not optimizing the switch version properly. Like you said the switch is like a "low to midrange tablet" when the switch is more like a mid to high range tablet. The samsung galaxy tab s8 which is one of the most high end android tablets avaliable right now has 8 GB of ram, while the switch has 4 GB. Low end android tablets have about 256MB to 1GB. I agree that minecraft sucks on the switch when it really shouldn't, but I feel like you critiqued the wrong thing here.
The 3 minutes to load is probably for a person who plays mc every other day, but when I ONLY had a switch it quite literally took 30 minutes to load, since I’d play so often.
The invalid session thing also happens for pc when i was on 1.18.12
It’s happened on Xbox too, just a general bedrock bug I believe
0:59
"This is the gameplay for the video"
10/10 Immerison.
Bruh I'm literally almost experiencing EVERY SINGLE Glitch and Bug that was mentioned in this video. It's pretty annoying sometimes, I got used to it but some bugs are sometimes so annoying that I just quit for some hours or days.
The thing is, shouldn't it be the developers' responsability to optimize their games for the platforms they're releasing them on?
Of course, if you want to play bedrock you should just avoid the console versions in general, as those versions tend to be more broken. In a similar way you'd avoid the Win10 and mobile versions if you want to play Java.
Yes, but it's Nintendo's fault that the Switch is so weak. Even on release, its specs were lacking.
Actual W video btw! You can clearly see that a lot of time and effort went into it. Nice job!
i was mining and my game froze for the millionth time and made me fall into lava so im not playing this version again
4:02 Same happened to me I got SIGNED OUT of my switch right before the deadline for migration
😭😭
I remember my game constantly crashing when I tried to join Realms. Sometimes I'd get in, and it would crash a few minutes later, but not disconnect. I discovered this when it crashed while I was swimming... It got to a point where Minecraft was basically unplayable, and I had to buy the game on PC to continue playing with my friends.
Regardless, Minecraft on Switch is a joke. My old iPhone which cost about the same as the Switch brand new ran the game MUCH better, I honestly don't know what happened. Even the 3DS version was less buggy!
Agreed lmao not sure what’s going on with the switch port of Minecraft but it’s definitely the worst damn port
@@Malyt538 It's a shame because the legacy console edition ran very well. On the Switch, Bedrock wasn't an upgrade, it was a clear downgrade.
NO SWICH IS GOOD
@@THEAXOLOT-ec6gj bro, I have one, ive tore one down, and I know a lot about this stuff. This is the worst console you can probably buy in 2024. I personally think even a Wii U is better. Also, the processor is the size of your thumb 💀
@@BounieIsHere ..
@@THEAXOLOT-ec6gj whadyou mean “…”
@@BounieIsHere … idk its morning
The fact that it somehow runs better on my damn phone is sad
I personally agree to some extent. But for I think maybe this is a bit exaggerated. Also, alot of these issues aren't even only on switch. For example, the invalid session issue, and the login issue. Both of these issues are on PS4(from my experience). Also, I think the footage of the game playing servers really laggy isn't accurate, or has been fixed by the time I'm writing this. I mean, I accept that the game doesn't run great on switch, but I don't think it's as bad as it's shown to be in this vid. Either way, nice video!
What makes the switch realms pretty bad is that on top of the realm subscription, you also have to buy nintendos online services. This is one of the main reasons i stopped playing this version and moved on to java. I’ve played switch for like 4 years and this is just the icing on the cake. This version has a handful of problems and is missing like 50% of the games features such as previews and shader support.
Using a subscription just to play online multiplayer on console is one of the reasons I went and built a $500 computer that's running an AMD CPU (R5 3600) and Graphics Card (AMD RX6600 by MSI). Would I have to repurchase the games that I've played before? Yes! But I'd rather do that and have free multiplayer, than having 100 games that I probably won't play or like and not have free multiplayer, and the fact that the total money you spent on a console with a subscription is more than just getting a computer for that same price, it's abysmal.
Saying Minecraft for switch is laggy because of hardware limitations is like saying the sky is blue because the ocean is blue, that would be true if Minecraft switch edition was written in java like the pc version because java is an unoptimised piece of s- but its based on the bedrock edition, which literally runs on phones. Bedrock is very well optimised as it is written in c++. The bugs are there and the performance issues are there because this is the latest release of Minecraft on entirely new hardware and an entirely new ecosystem, it'll improve with time as all switch games do.
It's still important to understand that minecraft in general has become laggier. So many new blocks and stuff and better world generation are a hyge factor. For those with very good pcs, you may not have noticed it but I and a lot of other players (!JAVA!) can play pre 1.19 with around 300+ fps on high settings, but get around 40 on mid settings on 1.19+
So yeah the game has becone way laggier in itself
