      Okay, so the other day I was playing Minecraft with my friend. It was an online game, and she had joined via Xbox Live. We were playing a survival game on a map I created. As I was cutting down trees, my game began lagging, very badly.

      The blocks I had destroyed were still visible. When I tried to move my view around, it was slow to respond and my character was trying to destroy the surrounding blocks. The GUI was not frozen, however. Then my tablet froze and it only responded to pressing the power button. The options menu that allows me too turn off or restart my tablet became visible on my a screen like normal, but I couldn't tap anything. It wouldn't respond to touch. My tablet has an auto brightness feature, and the screen brightness was responding to changing light levels in my environment.

      When I came back later the next day, it did work for a while, with minimal lag, and then it started having the same problems again. I thought it was just because we had a rabbit spawner close to our house, and the rabbits were causing lag. My friend was kicked off the game when I left it to change to creative mode, and I came back to the map afterwards. I got a wolf egg, and tried to spawn some wolves to help kill the rabbits, and they would not place. I !moved around to see if I could spawn them somewhere else, and my world disappeared from view. The only thing visible was the GUI (by that I mean inventory bar, chat box button, and my character's hand with the spawn egg in it. When I tried to move around and hit things, my character's hand responded, and moved the way it should. I hear the sounds I was supposed to, but I could not place blocks or see my world.

      I came back later to try to get my world to work again, and eventually , after trying to move around, it worked when I had my character look down and jump a little. My world became visible, and
      I could fly. However, sometimes when I tried to place blocks and wolves, they would not place. I finished what I was doing, changed to survival mode, went back to my game, and went into my house to sleep because it was night. Then I saved the game and quit.

      When in creative mode on the other tablet (Ellipsis 7), playing the version prior to 0.16.0, I started a game where I was in a snow biome, and there was a village. My friend joined to help me. Again, through Xbox Live. I began experiencing lag, and so did she. Some blocks would not place, and my character kept destroying blocks I did not tell it to destroy. My flying when these instances of lag in creative mode happen has not been working so well, and sometimes all I can do is jump. That happened then, too. My friend left the game, and so did I. When I came back, and tried to play the map in creative mode with the WiFi off, the lag started up again, and I could not place blocks a lot of the time, my character was destroying blocks it shouldn't be, and I could not fly. Then my world dispeared again and all I could see was the GUI (like on the Ellipsis 8 tablet). I left the game and came back earlier today to try to see if I CPU get it to work again. I moved around, then looked down, and jumped a bit, and my world began to become visible again. However, flying was still malfunctioning, I could not always place blocks, some blocks got accidentally destroyed, and other blocks I did place were invisible. The only reason I could tell they had been place was that the block was highlighted when it was selected. The lag is still so bad that it's very hard to play, and I can tell it will get worse.

      I thought the game should stop lagging when I came back later, and when I tried to turn off my WiFi. I thought that when I tried playing on another tablet, I wouldn't have the same problems, but I did. I'm convinced there is a problem with the latest versions of the game that is causing this to happen. Please do help.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Play the game on Xbox Live with a friend.
      2. When it lags, try to leave and come back, or turn off the WiFi.
      3. Play by yourself and try to function normally. See the lag get worse again and make it very hard to play.

      I'm sorry about the steps to reproduce the bug. I'm not sure what to really put there. And I apologize for the long explanation, too. It's just a very complex problem with multiple issues involved.

      I cannot give you screenshots because it is too difficult to get them with the lag and the types of problems I've been having.
