I was told that I could submit feedback here. I mean no disrespect to the devs. When I saw that the new update limited the render distance to 9 chunks, I was really sad. I hardly ever experienced any lag with Caves and Cliffs experimental features, 16 chunks rendered and a simulation distance of 6 chunks on my iPhone 8. My Brother has an SE (1st generation) and he's just as well off rendering 10 chunks. The following link is a comparison of the processor in my phone and the processor that is used as recommended Java Edition system requirements. I have a fire tablet 7 with is 1/7 as fast and handle 10 chunks quite well. So I feel compelled to make the argument that the limit is...well...It doesn't have much reason behind it. I really don't care how slow the game makes my device. I have never had any problems with overloading. If the devs are worried, I would rather they give a warning that limit us players, but not make a large window pop up reading:
Warning: Your device may not function properly while rendering more than nine chunks!!{}
because that's just to much as I have just demonstrated. I mean no disrespect to the devs.

I have tried to detete this issue, but It seems I am unable to delete issues that I have posted.
Why only 9 chunks?<The creator of this issue has attempted to delete it but has not been able to do so.>

I am having the issue I did before in
MCL-22527. The launcher is not properly updating MC for Windows 10/11 from 1.19.41 to 1.19.50. The game is up to date when I install it, but after the game installs, it will not update properly.I created an issue that no longer needs to be looked at. For some reason, I cannot delete this issue.








Oh. Yep! It is! Thanks!
This isn't a duplicate! Look at the version! This also happens in 1.17.34 when I'm using an iPhone 8 with iOS 15.0.
Another workaround:
For those of you who don't want to sign in or create an Xbox or Microsoft account, ask the person with the unjoinable world to restart Minecraft and reopen the world. If this doesn't work, repeat. Only this time, also have the player trying to join the world restart Minecraft
. If this doesn't work, I don't know what will.
I still experience this after several months of reporting it.
I experienced this on iOS. The image I submitted is a screenshot of someone viewed by me with my camera set to first person.
This also happens with a bow when I hold my finger on nearby blocks, but not when I hold it over the sky or areas without nearby blocks. I still experience this issue.
I also forgot to mention that the world feels much smaller now. By big window, I don't mean what's in the submitted screenshot.
@moderators: It seems I was mis informed.
I have an iPhone 8 that used to be able to easily render 16 chunks before the update with C&C experimental features and a simulation distance of 6 chunks. Same thing happened to me. I have a fire tablet which has 1/10 the processing power and can handle 10 chunks. Both give me a consistent 12–30 fps, so I feel sad and annoyed because of the limit and compelled to make the argument that there isn't much reason behind it. The update makes worlds feel smaller to me rather than bigger. The processor in my phone could easily run Java edition. It more than meets minimum requirements. So could an iPhone SE (1st generation) which also meets JE minimum requirements. I bet my phone could render 20 chunks without the limit.
A link to a video of my pushing my device (an iPhone 8) to the limit, detonating 10,646 blocks of TNT: It wasn't able to record properly, but the game started running smoothly as soon as I killed all items.

I uninstalled the game and then reinstalled the launcher. The launcher updated successfully but would not install Bedrock. Wait...Wuh? Huh. It seems one must install Java for bedrock to update.
Okay, It seems Java installed but not Bedrock. When I click the install button for Bedrock, I get no indication that the game is installing and it shows a grayed out play button.
Why would I need to install xbox companion? I have the Xbox app for windows from the MS store (no indication in MS store that it could be updated). I searched for Xbox identity provider in MS store but found nothing.
What does the XBox app have to do with the game updating? Please explain this. If you cannot, please request that someone else take this issue.
Okay. Well...I tried those solutions and it's still not working. And I haven't gotten any confirmation that this issue has been passed up the chain for investigation.
I still have the issue. I tested it on an iPhone 13.
It works on my laptop running windows. Seems it's an issue with the mobile website.
On my phone, after I sign in, I can click the "post your ideas now" link but all it seems to do is reload the page. Nothing else happens.
I forgot to mention my nonuse of the game & launcher for several months.
It's behavior likely shows that it is unable to consistently check for and/or recieve updates.
Yes I did try reinstalling the game. It fixed the issue, but only temporarily. As soon as I got multiple updates behind after not opening the launcher for several weeks, the game would not update. How to recreate the bug: Get the game and don't play it for 2 months. There's not anything more I can say than that.
I'm using the launcher from minecraft.net. Not the MS store app. I don't use a VPN. I am signed into all Xbox and Microsoft apps with the same account. Xbox is up to date.
Will I have to buy the game again?
I just enabled updates in the MS store. For some reason, MS store recognizes the launcher as being installed from MS store when I installed it from minecraft.net. I'll have to wait and see what it does.
Nope. MS store is still not registering that there's an update.
The launcher just updated but the game didn't and is out of date. I am now using the MS store version of the launcher.
I am reinstalling the game. It will update but only if I log on weekly. But, the thing is, I sometimes don't log on weekly, so I'm pretty sure I'll keep having the issue again and again. Unless it's fixed.
Now I am trying to install the game but the text "Idle" has appeared in the download progress bar.
I'm about ready to give up.
I reinstalled the MS Store launcher and was able to download Java but get "Error" in the download progress bar when I try to download Bedrock. I got the same result with and without using the beta version of the launcher.
It just now installed when I tried to install it. I had no issues installing Java or Bedrock.
I saw the MS Store app open in the background. Xbox also was running in the background and came into view in task manager because its CPU usage when up. I only saw the Xbox app while the MS Store launcher was installing. I saw the MS Store in the background processes for the majority of the time.
It was almost as though the launcher had a personality. It only installed just now when I was taking a screen recording so that bug hunters could see the process list in task manager if there were any problems that occurred.
Yes! I was. It seems to have resolved itself.
I am now no longer having the issue.
