Entities in the nether shouldn’t load until you load in

(I’m not sure if this is a bug or intended, if someone wants me to move it to the bugs site then I will)


Nether shouldn’t load until you’re actually in the nether

Today, while I was speedrunning (on bedrock edition) I entered the nether, and spawned in the bastion. Lucky, I know. But, when I entered the portal, I was already dead, even though my health was at full before entering. When I died, I went into creative mode to see how I died, and I saw a piglin near the portal. This means that the nether loads with the entities before you actually load in, which I think is completely broken. So, I think that the entities in the nether should be frozen, until you can actually interact with the nether (ie when you’re out of the loading screen).

Also, I think this doesn’t happen in java edition, so it would make sense to make it not happen in bedrock.

     Yes I have died several to small magma cubes in my nether hub.

    This happens to me all the time, especially in multiplayer. It’s always annoying to die in Minecraft, but to die and without chance of doing anything to prevent it just makes the game not fun to play. Sometimes you can’t move or see, but you can hear what’s happening and you can’t do anything to prevent it. Maybe some time of invulnerability until you have controle of your character?

    I have several nether portals in different locations hundreds of blocks away from each other, and I die about 50% of the time before I am actually loaded and able to move. I can hear magma cubes killing me but I am unable to do anything. It loads me to a dead screen. So dumb, and I agree it makes the game not fun when I built up my inventory to instantly lose it without the opportunity to defend myself. Surely this isn’t how the game has always been?

    Everytime I go to the nether and try to leave, it shows the building terrain/loading world sign. After the loading is complete, I have been killed by magma cubes. After respawning, I covered my portal with cobblestone and made a small enclosure to make sure mobs could not get in. Still, I ended up dead by magma cubes. I have no clue why this happens. But I have yet to successfully leave the nether due to this bug.

    I've been having this issue as well. The nether is loading and I hear ghouls hitting me/the portal and once I generate, I am dead and the nether portal is broken. It's become quite frustrating when I have to keep creating nether portals and hope that one generates in a safe location in the nether where I don't die before I can even see anything. I hope they can fix this issue as it is not fair to the player

    This glitch has occurred frequently on my server, and not only is it irritating, but it leaves a negative impact on the Minecraft community. I see this a large flaw in the game design and would like for the issue to be extracted from all platforms. When you are left defenseless; being attacked by intangible mobs, dying is virtually inevitable. Regardless of the level of your player’s health, the outcome remains unchanged. Minecraft has played a crucial factor in my childhood, and through the years, there have been many bugs. Ever since they have been fixed, it has made the game increasingly fun to play. Personally, this is one of those bugs that will enhance my perception of Minecraft, so I am willing to allow myself to give more credibility to the game engineers and developers. Pros or new-comers, it affects all of us Minecraft fans. Therefore, it is important for this issue to heard, and for Minecraft developers to take action to this matter. It will mutually benefit the technology and the community, ultimately making Minecraft a better game all around. At the end of the day, this issue receives 100% of my vote for resolving it, and I believe that this issue will catch the attention of the Minecraft staff if it is left unresolved. Thank you for understanding the importance of the matter from my perspective, and for viewing this extensive, yet critical post. Minecraft is one of my favorite video games; I expect nothing but greater outcomes in the future as the game develops.

    Please fix this. Bedrock is unplayable because of this. This is the problem when you treat every world like a server, even when we don't want it.

    same thing happened to me now. i was grinding so hard on a new game up until i had diamonds and build a nether portal right beside my home base. had a full set armor and everything, but no chance. loading screen, while loading i could hear im being attacked, was dead the moment the loading screen ended. this is utter bs. i tried 5 times to get my stuff back, no chance in hell. on the other side there are like 20 piglins, all respawning instantly. my home base now, overrun with a lot of piglins and zombie mobs the same amount. before i build the nether portal i didnt have any enemy mobs around...

    im not willing to give in activating cheat mode, because i really want to get achievements, but this issue is game breaking !

    dont know whats causing it, but seeing in the forums that this problem is around for over two years since it was first reported, seems to me that Mojang doesnt really care about their paying customers...

    I’m absolutely pissed there is no reason I should die before the screen is done loading this need to be a priority fix or your going to have people quit playing.
    Hours of work for you just to lose everything and have no control over it. Absolutely ridiculous !

    Probably the most annoying thing I've dealt with while playing. I lose all my stuff with no chance to defend myself because by the time I've loaded in I'm barraged with skeleton arrows.

    This happened to me with a creeper in the nether. When I went back to look for my items, they were all disappeared. My netherite sword and pickaxe with good enchants and my diamond armor and tools were gone. I can’t find anything on this but I put lots of work into my world and to lose every thing to a stupid bug makes me not want to play Minecraft anymore.

    Same here. Really frustrating. Playing with my kids, started a new world with 1.20, you can't really go through a portal without dying. You spawn in Nether having already died.

    Absolutely ridiculous.
    Easiest fix would likely be to have the player be invulnerable while standing in the portal.

    Having the same problem! found an abandoned nether portal in the overworld and as a result I completed it and went through it, now initially I was a little barraged by magma cube attacks when going through the portal but I figured if I built a cobble stone enclosure type structure around it, this would alleviate my problems so I just went back to the overworld as normal. However when I have then gone back in to the portal after doing a bit of packed ice mining I am now completely barraged by magma cube attacks before I have loaded in to the nether and I am informed that I have died upon the game loading. I have managed to retrieve some of my lost items but I am missing my diamond sword with looting, bane of arthropods and fire aspect on it, it also took around 10-15 attempts to get back into the nether successfully and hot foot it back to my other portal of which I had already built a tunnel to. Additionally, what I have noticed is that when I have now gone back into the nether, the game has built another nether portal almost directly above the original one.

    This is happening to me too, it took A LOT of trial and error, but figured out if you crouch with a shield facing the direction you guess youre getting hit as you enter the portal. You have a better chance of surviving this way, depending on what’s killing you. But i lost so many lvls of XP the first time, and the portal was on fire from a ghast before we finally put it out with half a heart left after dozens of tries of loading into the nether with a death screen. I really hope they fix this soon, i’m pretty sure it didnt used to be like this.

    I have been also encountering this problem. I died several times at the hands of Skeletons and Ghasts before managing to get a foothold in the nether. I built another portal else where and died by a combination of Ghast fire and a Piglin. I could hear the Ghast shooting fireballs while I was still in the loading screen.

    I've given up on playthroughs because of this issue. I hate using creative to cheat around this, so the only thing I've come up with as a temporary solution is to build a whole fortress around the portal, with doors and blast resistance blocks, with a roof and a tunnel that leads to the exit, and light up the entire inside and outside and place strings or carpets inside or even lava around it to prevent mobs spawning. 

    But please, FIX THIS ISSUE! The game's broing because of this, and I can't afford a $50,000 setup just to enter the freaking nether.

    Java and Bedrock player here... this is definitely a bedrock codebase problem. I never have any concerns loading into the nether on Java.

    I agree, my nether portal is in an inconvenient space and I keep getting shot off of the platform and into lava by skeletons. I tried relocating the portal but it put me in the same spot, so I tried destroying the portal in the nether but I was killed several times and it's not worth that many diamond pickaxes. It's frustrating to know bedrock nether it automatically harder because we load in before our loading screen goes away.

    Yeah I keep trying to enter the nether but unfortunately the portal takes until Minecraft’s anniversary to load, and ghasts launch fireballs at me, and I have to reload the world and hope no ghasts are nearby the portal. Plus there was a nether fortress right by, so it’s a really good spawn, and I am not moving my entire base just to get away from the ghasts.

    Recently in my hard world, the nether takes SO LONG to load, and not even 1/2 way through spawning in, mobs spawn in before me and by the time I load in I'm instantly killed.
