MCPE-124058AMD Ryzen 5 - Severe resource usage in recent Minecraft versions
Unfortunately I no longer own the affected laptop, and therefore cannot test if it is still happening to it. I sold the affected laptop in April 2024 as it was no longer sufficient enough for my needs, and am now using a self-built desktop computer that doesn't have this issue. If anyone else with another computer is having a similar issue to the one my old laptop had, please comment so I know.
Original report below
Recent versions of Minecraft seem to be very resource intensive on modern hardware, to the point where it's like running it on a very old computer. CPU, GPU, and RAM usage is 90-100% when in a world (even a flat world with no mobs in it), and there is roughly 2-5FPS (according to Xbox Game Bar). I've even had to force shut off my laptop by holding the power button down for a few seconds. The laptop I am using is an Acer Nitro 5 with the following specs:
- AMD Ryzen 5 4600H CPU (6 core 3GHz)
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 (so no RTX compatibility)
- 256GB M.2 SSD
- 15.6" 1920x1080p display built-in
- Happens with Windows 10 versions 2004, 20H2, and 21H1, and Windows 11 versions 21H2 and 22H2
- It is possible to reduce the severe usage by updating drivers
Please let me know if it's hardware related or a duplicate, as while I found other issues close to this, they were about high resource usage for a specific component (e.g. only high CPU use, or only high RAM use).

This sounds close to MCPE-124058, however this issue is only high RAM, not high CPU or GPU like MCPE-124058. The two may be related.
Same issue for same update on the console.
Krista Kinnari Could you be a little more specific on which console? Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS4, PS5, or Nintendo Switch? This will help me rule out the cause.
Affects both Windows 10 version 2004 and Windows 10 version 20H2
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response
Is this still an issue in the latest version? If so, can you please add it to the affected versions (or mention it if you are not the reporter).
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

I did add the latest version as affected before you commented, I have now added it to other parts of this report.
Sorry, my mistake. Thnks for the update.
No worries. That's why I updated the report with more references to the newer version
This issue can be partially remedied by updating drivers
There appears to be multiple root causes. I will begin comparing this with similar issues, but with only specific components. I will provide more information once I have determined other bug reports playing a part in this issue.
As there are multiple causes I'm removing all mentions of that from the report. The "update your drivers to reduce the problem" is still in the report.
The CPU usage has improved with the 1.18.20.21 update.
I've gotten it as close to fixed as I can. It's still there, but not as big of an issue now.
Since it has been a while since last update on the issue, is this still reproducing?
It's still there.
Resolving temporarily as Awaiting Response. Is this still an issue in the latest version of the game (1.20.1)?
This ticket will reopen automatically when you reply.
Sorry for not updating this issue in a while, I've been busy IRL and haven't had the time to test any issues with Minecraft until recently.
As for the resource usage issue, it's not as bad as it used to be, and it can be hard to notice it, but it is still there every now and then (particularly on large servers like Cubecraft and Lifeboat)
It's gotten worse for me.
