This is a bit long, but please bare with me

Essentially, the game would let me join my friends worlds perfectly fine and my realm takes a bit longer than usual to load, but not to bad… the issue is whenever I try to play one of my single player worlds, it takes, literally, 30 minutes for me to actually be able to play the game.

The weirdest part about it is, as I’m still stuck on the “generating resources” screen… my character has loaded into the game like normal. On more than one occasion I have tried to play one of my survival worlds, only to get stuck on the screen, get killed by something in the game, and have all my stuff despawn while I can do nothing about it but wait until I actually get into the game to start all over again.

To be entirely honest, I really don’t know if it’s a bug with the game it’s self, or something that me, my friend, and my sister did collectively, because we seem to be the only ones to have experienced this. I do have some mods installed and one of them could be the cause, but this bug started happening randomly after playing normal survival with my friend and my sister. my friends game, I think, was the first to have the problem then my sisters, I guess because they were playing together before I had joined, my friend couldn’t get into the game and suggested that I make the world instead, so I did… but then I couldn’t get into the world while the others could, I tried to play one of my existing worlds, and again I couldn’t get in.

I’ve tried deleting the most recent mod I had downloaded, which was just a shader, I tried clearing the current game and reopening it, and I tried going as far as uninstalling the app (with all of the data still intact, because I’d rather not lose years worth of world) and so far… none of it has worked. I’m honestly really hoping it is the game, because hopefully that could be fixed without me having to delete Minecraft entirely and buy it again and wipe out all of my worlds… but if it is something that I messed up and not the game, guess I don’t have much of a choice but to delete it.

Again, sorry this is so long, but if someone could let me know for sure if it is a bug with the game or something I did, I’d really appreciate it <3
