I believe that Mojang should make dedicated small teams for each version of the game. Bedrock runs well on pc but the mobile and console ports seems have way more issues than they should.

Hearing people say Minecraft was terrible on the Switch always puzzled me as when I did play it I never found it to be terrible. I got back into it recently to see if it was as bad as people said it was and it’s way better than everyone makes it seem. Sure it can lag at some points but I’ve overall had a good experience with it. If the younger me who only had console edition and pocket edition had this version. He would be on it for hours everyday.

My biggest issue is the chunk rendering, my favorite part of Minecraft is exploring and finding ew places to build stuff but i get so annoyed when it doesn’t load I stopped playing it on switch for that

Here is a quick summary of my experience on the switch. It used to run very well before 1.16. Since then more and more issues started showing up. What used to be quick loading chunks became slow. I kept crashing because of simple things, like opening a chesy or using a firework. More weird issues kept showing up like randomly getting disconnected, or weird game crashes or huge lag spikes. What used to be a flawless, speedy experience for me, turned into a nightmare. To the point I switched to Laptop.

Minecraft for Nintendo Switch ran much better back when it launched in 2017/2018. I think the 2021 Caves and Cliffs update greatly diminished the performance, and they even lowered the max render distance from 14 to 12 chunks on the Swich version with that update.

Thanks for making the video. I was here a while ago saying how my Macbook had died and I was unsure about buying the Switch version. I just wanted to report that I ended up getting the Switch version recently and haven't had any problems wth performance or anything like that. As you mention, the controls do feel really weird at first. I'm still not used to them. But considering how long I've been playing on PC for, it's not surprising that it's taking a while to get used to.

This is exactly the Minecraft switch video I was looking for! Thank you for taking the extra step and going above and beyond. Testing things like digital vs physical copy of the game as well as hosting vs joining a realm. I am sold. Thanks for the informative video!

It's basically unplayable now. Opening a chest, your inventory or other similar menus takes forever, and it also takes forever to load blocks when you place or remove them.

Thank you for the video. I think most of the blame are on the companies that do a bad job optimising the game. Sometimes I think that they even don’t do the test on a physical consolo before releasing it.

This video is amazing 🥺 thank you so so much for so much input on the controls and everything the switch can do with Minecraft and how it looks in handheld and playability

as i say everytime. if a console has minecraft, buy it, u wont regret it. minecraft is just such a great game that it doesnt really matter how bad ppl will say is, minecraft is always a good game, so dont trust them and buy it urself. ur gonna thank me later.

Love your video, explained my thoughts on the game exactly. I’ve played the OG Kindle Fire version when I was in middle school so working around those few loading and lagging issues does bother me. Plus I can play the game anywhere I go with wifi on a realm or anywhere in my own world!

I play the Switch edition with my son in local co-op using 2 systems rather than split screen, although we could play on PC or Xbox One. The overall experience is positive and it's fun. I absolutely agree that travelling by boat is by far the game at its worst performance, but beyond that, there's nothing that strikes me as particularly bad about this version. As you said, it's poorly optimised, and as Minecraft Dungeons also runs poorly at times on Switch, it's a Mojang issue over a hardware issue.

I never really play on the switch anymore, but when I used to play, I would turn off the clouds and fancy graphics and controller. Hence those usually made the game more smooth.

There are a lot of little problems, but there were two major problems and one outside influence that really made me stop playing the Switch Edition. The first problem was that the game kept logging me out on my Microsoft account, and it's a massive pain to log back in, because you can't do it from within the game. When you aren't logged in, you can't play your maps from the store, which was a deal breaker for me because I play Skyblock the most and I was using a generic store bought Skyblock map. The second major reason I don't play Switch Edition anymore was the 1.17 (I think) update. It was whenever it was that the Y height was changed. All the maps from before then on the store could not be updated beyond that, so they would always be stuck at that update. They did this to avoid breaking maps that were designed with the old Y height, but it also meant that the main map I played on the Switch was essentially a time capsule. I am often on the road, so portable was the only way to reliably play, even though I prefer Java Edition. I played PE back when it first released, but I don't like the touch controls these days and switching from the switch to PE wouldn't fix the marketplace mapanyway. I have the Vita Edition, which is also portable, but it's stuck all the way back on the update aquatic, so I had no real alternative to the Switch Edition when on the road. But all that changed when my Steam Deck arrived, which meant that I had another way to play Minecraft on the go. I put Java Edition on it, manually recreated the Bedrock controls with Steam Input because I didn't know there were controller support mods for Java Edition, and have been playing that ever since. I actually went into creative and recreated my Switch Skyblock map block for block so that I could continue the map that I had spent so much time on. Haven't looked back.

Yes! Love see someone fill in the hole for a missing video. Good video!

The only downside i see in the switch version is the chunk rendering, which is pretty slow, but at the same time it can become an OP "feature" So i was playing in my world on the switch version and while chunks were loading i was litterally able to see whats underground, and in the end i found a mineshaft

I had a long term survival world on the Switch. It ran quite okay before 1.16 but, after more and more updates especially after 1.18 with the new generation. It ran terrible, flying with a elytra is very painful

On my world (before I gave up an moved to an iPad with a controller) I used to get below 20fps with constant 30+ second freezes where all the mobs could still move and attack, but I couldn’t. This was a 140mb world BTW. It’s 250mb on my iPad now, and I hate to think what it would be like if I had continued with the switch.

I think we played different versions... honestly, buy Minecraft on Switch was one of my worst purchases ever. I enjoyed it a lot when I first downloaded it. Playing it on a decent size screen while lying on my bed was quite a great experience, and I have hundreds of hours with the game on my Switch (really, more than 800). Actually, the game almost felt like a good port. The problems came when my worlds were above 100 MB of space - which is not that much, if you're a player who likes to play on the same world for several months. Then the problems became so notorious: a lot of lag even when playing offline, the chunks taking a lot to render, the FPS dropped below the 25 frames most of the time, and the autosave taking like 5 minutes to complete, lagging all of your world in the process, just to repeat it after a minute or so (you can't disable it). Another thing that I really don't understand is the volume of the save data. It's HUGE. The game barely reaches 1.2 GB of space, but then I realized that only the save files were 1.8 GB, more than the game itself. And I gotta say it again, my worlds were never above the 100 MB, and had no texture packs installed. So, why was it so huge? Even when deleting my save files, I entered to the game to see what was the initial size of the save data. I didn't create a world, just opened the game: the size was already 275 MB. For literally nothing. I'm so sorry to write all of this, maybe just a few will read it all, but I'm so tired to see that the game is on the best sellers tab every week even when it is such a bad port. I ended up buying the PC version for my laptop, and it's an infinitely better version (it ain't a powerful laptop, but runs Minecraft Bedrock almost at 60 FPS with 10 chunks of render distance). Your video was very good, and I really enjoyed watching it, but I think it represents only the bright side of the game on Switch. However, I would suggest you to verify all what I said here and, if you find this to be true, make another video to inform to the people about this awful port. Maybe that will help to reach Mojang so they can finally fix this version.

Very nice and well put together video! You explain calmly but detailed all the pro's and cons and that in the end it's fine and still Minecraft to be enjoyed to its fullest :)

Thank you for the video review/perspective.

I got Minecraft on the switch yesterday it was the greatest experience ever

What I dislike the most is that nothing syncs between devices. P.S. what determines the hardware I play games on depends on what the game was optimised/meant for first, because all other alternatives are just taped together, it helps deciding what device to play it on and makes the experience better imo. So even if everything is fixed with MC Console / Mobile, I won’t care because I don’t want to juggle devices. In fact this is the problem with most software in general… I mean I have an entire document dedicated to my opinion on this kind of stuff that I hope to turn into a video… but I know I won’t 😞

thank you so much for your detailed review! it was very helpful :)

being honest the only thing i hate in this version is the lag in the splitscreen, the chunks taking forever to load when i go a bit fast and on how tiny the chunk limit is

Personally I thought getting Minecraft on the switch my experience was fine. I decided to build a mega Japanese village with multiple building. Later down the line my world got very slow. The world would only load my chunk that I had my village and struggle very hard to load any other chunk and sometimes my game would freeze up and had to wait minutes to move steve. I switched to playstation Minecraft and had no issues on that platform

Hearing people say Nintendo switch version sucks just gets me sad because i got a Nintendo switch for christmas in 2021 and the only game i wanted is minecraft and its like the littearly same

Ive played this version for a couple hundred hours, its great being able to take it anywhere. Now i play the java version on my steamdeck oled, its surprisingly playable (90fps 20 chunks with the fabulously optimized mod)

The only real problem i have is the nether loading. Thats never fair but then i get exclusive packs and creative fun maps it makes me overlook it.

The switch version on its own is fine. But if you reach near the storage limit on the game it can mess up everything. Because I had low storage on the game, now it tends to crash and freeze up a bunch making it really hard to play. I assume if I get an SD card or something to help with my storage issue it should fix this but at the moment its unplayable for me lol. But before I had any issues I had a great time with it. 👍

Thank you for this video! It is very complete and helped a lot!

I started playing minecraft in 2012 on pc, but this has become my new favourite way to play. I just love the portability and convenience of it. Pocket edition always suffered from poor controls, so the switch edition is IMO the best version to just pick up and play whenever.

It's crazy how it used to run pretty well on switch, but with updates not really being optimized for the switch, it has made the game a laggy stuttering mess that just makes it unplayable.

With my Nintendo switch playing Minecraft, sometimes the chunks take a long time to load other times they load really quickly I would have to say it depends cause I play single player so it could depend on the world so who knows because I rarely have to wait a long time for things to load so who knows.

I have like 300 hours in the game but After a long time of playing the world gets very laggy and broken so I think I’ll move on to pc one day

i have a realm on switch, I already have pretty big constructions, nothing too crazy but big and there are several houses. Also im building an automatic storage system which for now is working fine. After months of playing with friends, the neighborhood started to get laggy the first load, but after that it works fine. the fps are not the best but also not something it bugs me, tbh i would recommend it to everyone except for hardcore players which expect high performance and huge servers. been playing on my switch since more than two years.

As of late 2022 or early 2023 the Nintendo Switch has been my primary way of playing Minecraft. Personally control wise I think it really does depend on preference. I might go back to mobile but I almost always rely on my switch for gaming so it just makes it that much easier instead of switching between devices. I was starting to deal with more lag on my phone & when you I made the move to my switch it did help with that lag. I still do have some lag spikes here and there but it’s not as bad as people make it seem.

I was glad to see this video in my feed the only videos reviews I found on KZfaq post this video were reviews that came out around the time it first released for switch. All were negative but I’m curious to see what you have to say. I already bought it just before I saw this in my feed and I had no issue of course it’s a bit slow at rendering when traveling fast in a boat so I imagine it would be simpler with carts too other than that plays fine in my 8 h of playing

i have no idea why people call the switch version terrible, sure, when you play multiplayer with like 60+ people in the lobby and other stuff like that it will of course lag, + it has its own textures that are most of the time very detailed and its a handheld, its very impressive that the game can run on a smooth 60fps without any lag when playing with 10+ people on a realm!

My brother gave me his Nintendo oled, because he bought a new console he said i can buy minecraft so we can play together in a server. I wanted to see reviews on it and i saw lots of negative ones, but now i saw yours i might consider buying it 😊

I had great experiences playing on switch until the caves update. It seems that when the system has to render in twice the vertical distance, it's too much for it. My 12 year old just got into it, and let me tell you SPLIT SCREEN IS ALMOST COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE. Any time the game is autosaving (every 2-3 minutes), you have about 30 seconds where block changes are not shown. You can't see any changes to blocks you've placed or mined. This can result in at minimum frustration, and at most death.

i have both switch edition on my switch lite and pocket edition on my ipad, i much prefer pocket edition since it runs better overall, i can import custom skins from my photo gallery, and it's way less annoying to log into my microsoft account or access the marketplace. this is just my experience though, seeing as my ipad is a 9th gen ipad which has generally good performance overall anyway.

Minecraft is my favourite game on my switch don’t listen to the people who think it’s bad

I am just surprised how good the old console editions were compared to this which is on something more powerful unless I’m remembering wrong, but I just wish 4j studios was still making the console edition because I bet they could do a better job from doing it on a lot of consoles and the only thing bad about the legacy console edition are finite worlds and no cross play which could probably have been added at some point

great video mate keep up the work

You deserve way more subscribers, I wish you luck

this just feels so peaceful i love the way the video is put together and how minecraft is on the switch

I got it in 2020 and it was the first time since I started playing MC for like 10 years that I best the dragon I just loved being able to play it anywhere even though it can be laggy and stuff it's enjoyable and no terrible like most reviews say

The thing is Minecraft Bedrock on the Switch just feels like a much inferior version to every other version of Minecraft Bedrock. There are better ways to play Minecraft Bedrock, and heck, there's a better version of Minecraft that's also on Switch (which you can't buy)

Minecraft Bedrock has had controller latency problems ever since version 1.18.30. It's not just the switch that is imprecise it's the games fault. It is currently fixed in the newest beta 1.20.30 so keep an eye out for the release. It's annoying really. Not only did the rendering engine change make the game slower for no discernable advantages but the controld have been compromised too. Bedrock really needs an optimization update, the switch should still easily play the game without problem.

From what I'm understand is that it runs the same way as a phone or tablet bc I have it on my iPad and most of those issues is the same, so the only thing they should complain about is the price on my iPad it's $7 as for the switch it's $29 unless they plan on updating and try fixing the problem than it better on the phone or tablet

I’m having fun with it on Switch but the load times when getting into my world can take up to like 45 seconds. That being said, I never played Minecraft before on any other platform. Might end up getting it on my laptop if it crashes or whatnot

They just released a bug fix for the lag on switch. Thank you

I put 100’s of hours on the switch but lately its been unplayable even on new worlds. If i walk 10 blocks in any direction the world is just blank abyss and takes minutes to load just a couple blocks in any direction. I love it so much i bought it on ps5 and cant believe how much better it plays. Java on my comp is great too. In the past i got my money worth but id recommend it on any other platform as its pretty much unplayable on switch for me as of late.

thank you for giving this indepth review and bringing light to the issues. ive also played for around 100 hours and the issues that persisted just made it feel poor and is probably why i swithced to pc

Thank you for making this video, was on the fence, to many people shit talk the switch just to do it, the switch is capable of some crazy things lol

great video dude!

I Play minecraft on the switch and it’s fine I guess… HOWEVER my biggest and most frustrating issue that I have with it is the chunks taking 1000 years to load and it’s incredibly annoying. Even when I die and then respawn, I would have to wait for an annoyingly long time for the chunks to load in. Sometimes it wouldn’t even let me move until the chunks load.

i've been playing nintendo minecraft since 2018 (a year after the switch came out) not once have i had a problem worlds are fine Pvp isnt an issue Marketplace is top tier Theres Literally nothing wrong with nintendo minecraft

As someone who has Minecraft on Xbox I do encounter some of the same problems except for the chunks not loading

I have almost 200 hours on the switch version of minecraft and here is my honest opinion and why now I play on my low end laptop that barely reaches 30 fps: - The loading times for chunks and nether made it being really hard to continue with my survival world in which i have many things far one from another, since traveling was just waiting until the chunk loaded for more than half the time, and the nether shortcut was an immediate death - There are a lot of crashes. Right now, the current version seems more stable and with not so many crashes, but as someone who has the switch version of the game since 1.14, crashes have been a usual thing, and even when an update fixes most crashes, sooner or later there will be another update that breaks the game again I don't blame the switch for being underpowered or anything in this case, but rather the game itself. Look at the Wii U, a console with the same power or maybe even a bit less. It has a completely different version of Minecraft made by 4J Studios instead of Microsoft and it NEVER gave any of the problems the switch version of the game has. So I believe that's enough proof that, in this case, we shouldn't blame the switch's hardware, but the game itself, as the exact same game that runs on the switch with so many problems runs almost flawlessly on my low end laptop

My biggest problem with Minecraft on switch is no gyroscope controlls, the wii u version had those for aiming.

I always disliked the bedrock edition for how scummy the marketplace is and how the game is a copy and paste from each console without the love and care that was put into each console port from 4j studios, but I will say I have warmed up to the game doesn't mean I don't see the legacy no pun intended that it trampled but it could've been worse, I plan to buy a Nintendo switch copy tomorrow

the problem isn't the console, the Switch is already plenty more powerful than a WiiU and that version ran with no issues, the problem is the game itself and its bad optimization on consoles, because in PS4 and Xbox One the Bedrock Edition in its current state has performance issues there as well, and there's also the fact the Legacy Switch Edition (the one that had Nintendo Switch Edition in the title) didn't have performance issues either, the problem is with more updates rolling over, they don't optimize them properly, and the games performs worse and worse on all previous gen consoles as time goes on, if you got a PS5 or Xbox Series or even better almost any PC or any mid range phone then you'll have no issues though I found a fix that works for me personally, which is disabling fancy bubbles and turning antialiasing down to 1, unlike PC, the aliasing effect isn't as noticeable, and fancy bubbles don't really make a noticeable visual difference but do quite hit performance, turning down both options the performance becomes much better (although not fixing the poor performance in servers) and if you're not sure you can still turn down render distance to between 8 to 10 chunks, I have it on 12 tho since with those two changes it's already good for me, and I play mostly in single player, when I do play multiplayer it's usually with just 1 or 2 more people so that doesn't hit performance either, plus I also have a PS4 nad a PC so I can also use the PS4 for a better splitscreen experience since my Switch is a Lite, since the performance issues exist on other platforms maybe those who play on the other consoles could also try it to smooth out their game, granted it won't fix the elephant in the room of worst case scenario when having too much entities on screen, that will still kill your FPS so remember to leep your farm sizes moderate, I'd say around 4 of each animal, because in a multiplayer world I used to play in, even from my PS4 the framerate went down when looking at the quintillion cows locked down in a 5x5 area

I’m impressed. I stopped playing on the Switch because I encountered too many crashes and lags on small worlds and expected it to only get worse with a growing world.

To chat quicker, I connected a keyboard to the switch, mouse doesn’t work tho. When I lost my desktop pc during COVID, I used my switch as a substitute and worked perfectly fine.

I found this video in search of common issues I had with the switch version. And playing on split screen with my kid, definitely found us these same performance issues. It's basically unplayable in split screen if you have a kelp farm running, lagging to the point where it's basically 1 frame every 5 mins. Even with the OLED. Things get worse when in split screen 2 players get further apart or are in separate dimensions (nether/overworld). God help anyone who wants to play creative and spawn more than 20 mob eggs. I definitely think 1.17 is the issue. Tho last time I played bedrock was when it had world borders.

One issue I’ve had with minecraft switch is that you cannot play locally with people on other platforms, I bought the switch version to LAN with the XBox and you can only pretty much cross party play on realms servers! Although this is more a Nintendo issue than a minecraft issue

this is how the game works. the bedrock edititon is exactly the same on every device. i remember having the issues you are having with the switch on my old android phone with a slow cpu. the game will not lag that much but the cpu will struggle loading the world hence why the delayed loding in on servers, it has always been like that on bedrock edition and i dont think they could do much other than making you invincible while you are still loading in

It’s so laggy now😭😭😭 the frame rate is absolutely horrible. It’s a shame too, I loved playing Minecraft on my switch😢 oh well

As someone who used to play Java Edition with a really crappy and slow computer... Nintendo Switch Minecraft performs fine (lol). Third party games struggle a lot one Nintendo Switch. The system is designed for optimization. Its cheaper to manufacture and runs smoothly so long as you actually optimize the game for the system. The people who make Nintendo games are masters at making the best of limited performance, which is why games like Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, and Mario Kart look so good and can handle so much at once. Meanwhile, A Hat in Time, Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons, Subnautica, and other third party games have noticeable bugs and occasional performance struggles because they weren't designed for the system... in the case of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, those games were made by Gamefreak. Nintendo owns part of the franchise, which is why they only show up on Nintendo consoles... but despite that the team that makes them is very small (the size of an indie game company essentially) and they are _not_ very good at optimization due to their small team and rushed development time.

I’m a switch player and I feel like this version has its pros and cons, the pros are stuff like portability and multiplayer capability, but I feel like the bad stuff slightly overpowers the good stuff as there’s extremely slow chunk loading when traveling at high speeds making elytra with rockets feel not much faster than sprint flying in creative and I’m more of a free to play player so I’m not a big fan of the many micro-transactions as one of the only free things to do is single player and play with a few other people

My solution for the controller typing is just using the touch screen which is what i use most often

there used to be a massive lag spike every time it saved but it gone now. other than the draw distance it no different than any other bedrock game

The only problem I have is chunk load takes so long to the point I switched to the ps4 version

The xbox one version of Minecraft gave me a headache. It runs perfectly, but sometimes it will crash randomly and it takes a total of 3 minutes to even get to the title screen. That’s excluding loading times, which have the same issue as Switch. I barely ever play it and prefer the switch version.

Amazing video, like a profesional KZfaq channel 😸

I am a seasoned player on the switch and let me tell you there are many times where you can pready much not be able to play the game for 4 months your game will run fin for around 200 hours and then it will just lag like crazy and when I played on pc it felt so much better

I love Minecraft been playing it since the beta's. But god am I not a fan of the Dutch translations. For me its always English. Very nice review tho its nice to see people experience the early spirit of Minecraft that most of us wish we could go back to!

Ik speel Minecraft bijna exclusief op mijn computer en soms op steam deck. Leuke video :)

My nephew has severe Autism, takes medication which reduces his appetite and other issues. He has been asking me to get him Minecraft on the Switch. Once he is home from school (he is 11), the meds start to wear off and he becomes ravenous (hungry) and wants to play on the switch. I try to limit how long he can use it, but its tough. Is it worth me paying $50 dollars AUD for Minecraft for the switch. I have it on my computer, He loves playing it on there and I feel it is probably one of the better games for creativity etc, instead of alot of the app games he downloads and i have to delete. I need an honest opinion if its worth getting on the switch for a 11 year old with Autism.

It's not a solid 60 fps though, from what I can see it looks and runs better than it did before. Solid option I guess if you just want to have fun and can deal with the fps issues. Just get a Series S, the fps slider goes up to like 360fps ( if you have the appropriate monitor or tv ) .

Yes if you do the DNS hack on the switch you can play on any bedrock servers.. Its crazy that it requires such a weird work around for you to play servers that you play on the pc. The reason i dont play normal servers on the switch the ones it gives you is they are ruined, destroyed worlds etc.. But having the ability to play other servers i can go on servers i like that i play on pc and have like another version of me playing the game in a different place with different stuff or join my own base lol.

Great video brother

Fun fact digital downloading to an sd card doesn’t have better loading times but downloading it onto your switches hard drive it makes loading faster

are you from the Netherlands/Belgium and btw nice video

the chunks are not loading when i move fast issue is not exlusive to switch version tho i have a very powerfull pc but i still encounter these type of things especially when i use boats 13:18 yeah this happens in pc bedrock when you alt tab in pc and come back again almost all the issues you said are just general minecraft bedrock issues not switch :3

thanks for a detailed review

I do like this version, but I don't think I'd go back to it. After years of use my switch edition slowly got slower and laggier, to the point where multiplayer was almost impossible.

i came from minecraft on iphone 8 with a ps4 controller so the switch was a big step up for me and i had great experiances with the game iyt was the first one i bought foir my switch unfortinatly i moved to ps4 and xbox one and it is hard to go back due to the 30 fps

2:00 Fun Fact! you can plug a keyboard into your switch dock and type messages on it!

Jij can dit zo goed! Jij maakt Engelse filmpjes en zo echt

most of the complaints in this video are not switch related. they are either about playing on console in general vs PC, or issues with bedrock edition experienced on any platform.

You said people can just join your server without paying for a realm? Is that in LAN or how does that work? Thanks in advance

I swear it used to run good but i just went on my old world a week ago and its so slow

You can plug an USB keyboard on your Switch, it makes it easier to chat in Minecraft. However, I'm not sure you can play with it.

Ive played minecraft on switch and ps4 for a while now, and while i do primarily play it on PS4, there really isnt much of a difference, i only play on it for achievements and to use the PS4 controller

Of all days, my wife decided she wanted to learn to play minecraft TODAY. So i set it up on the switch so she can play with me on xbox. Let me say it has been a damn chore to set this up for her today. Mojang needs me to sign in to a Microsoft account on my nintendo. THEN the game needs me to have an switch online plan. We played for about an hour and now she gets kicked out because of maintenance? This game has all but asked for my first born to download and setup and now she cant even play despite me still being able to play on xbox and no maintenance on my side. MC on Switch fucking sucks
