Wither causes way too much lag!

I play Minecraft bedrock on my Xbox one S, so the wither boss fight it´s harder than Java, besides, difficulty can be worked but not with all this lag! It´s unfair when Wither break blocks and the game starts to lag to a point that you just can´t fight or ever run away from it. The second half of the fight it´s the worst, you can´t use bows and you need to stay close, but all those blocks rendered on ground causes a lot of lag. My sugestion is "Blocks broken by wither should not be rendered" This shoud make this fight more fair.

    Same I’m even having this problem on switch, and the worst part is is that switch has 30 FPS so it’s pretty much very hard to even start attacking on the second phase… I really hope they fix this soon.

    The lag is just as bad if not worse on the switch. I would turn off tile drops but that is a cheat. I am going to try to create a wither kill chamber in creative. Hopefully I can do it or I will never spawn the wither in my survival world. I want a nether star but I do not want to lose my world.

    It's gotten impossible to beat him, I have everything I need all the armor everything, but I can't do anything at 1 fps!

    I've fought the wither three different times in three different worlds, and even though I would barely manage to get to past halfway, I couldnt do anything more because of my lag. This is absolute bs and I'm tired of deleting worlds because I cant play on them anymore, due to the lag. Either that or I just quit because I've lost so much time on getting the best armor (max enchants on netherite armor) as well as on my sword. I'm not playing another survival world until this is fixed, it's making me mad

    This is ridiculous. Just ruined my whole file with all that lag. Couldn't even get my gear back. Just impossible to even move the more you for the more lag is created. How can this even be considered okay? Basically making beacons impossible to get in bedrock survival

    We just spent two hours trying to defeat the Wither on Xbox One, coping as best we can with the lag. Hopeless. The lag was so bad that even zombies and skeletons were killing us because there was no way to use the controller effectively. Please figure something, anything out. I agree that either blocks broken by the Wither shouldn't be rendered, or some other fix done for Bedrock. If it works on Java, fine, leave it as is, but there shouldn't be any undefeatable mobs on Bedrock due to technical issues. There are already differences between platforms. Fix this for Xbox please!

    Same here. I fought the wither in the cavern cave which is a great a idea by the way. But in the second half whem it started to destroy more and more blocks i become very² laggy i can't even turn around.

    Same here on switch. Impossible to do anything with the lag. Luckily I had a backup of my world but from over two weeks ago & I lost my netherite armor & all kinds of builds. It’s absolutely impossible to battle the second stage because of all the block breaking!!

    I would also like to see this be addressed.  I had spawned the wither at the end of a long hallway from my main mining area, around Y 10.  I was doing okay at first but once the lag started it became nearly impossible to land shots on the wither, who by this time was above me somewhere breaking all the blocks above my head, delivering damage and wither effects.  Eventually got the wither down to just under half health but then the game became completely unplayable.  so many tile drops, so much lag.  The game froze at one point for around a minute.  When it unfroze I was instantly dead.  Lost so many items that I have been grinding to achieve, like most everyone else.  It was not fun and now my world of over a year old is not even playable.  I did not create a backup because that kind of defeats the purpose of a survival world.  Considering moving to creative just to erase the wither, but that also defeats the purpose of survival.  But it's completely unplayable like this.  New world time I guess...?  It is 1.18 after all.

    Playing on Nintendo Switch.

    Please fix this or make it so when the wither does a “charge” it doesn’t drop blocks. My realm is ruined now because on the switch there is literally no way to fight the wither without dying to lag. I did above ground, below ground, in a plains, I lost all of my stuff and now the wither is griefing spawn and it’s just a lag fest. Destroyed months of my work I’m pissed and deleted Minecraft off my switch for good cause if it

    Absolutely awful trying to defeat the wither on my switch lite. I grinded for days getting prepared for this fight and because of the lag I lost the world and literal days of hours spent on my survival world. Please fix this, Bedrock users would like to get a beacon.

    I suffered from this case these days, however the Wither finally killed by iron golem, thanks god.
    I built the wither in a very long and deep tunnel (y=-59), far away from my base.
    In the first phase of Wither, it’s easy to use bow to attack it. (Keeping a little distance will reduce the lag).
    But in the second phase, like everyone here, just unplayable.
    After reading lots of articles and watch lots of videos, i decide to use iron golem to kill the wither.
    I built 4 iron golems in the tunnel, make it very close to the Wither (it even recovered about 80% HP), and the golems just kill it in few seconds. And 1 golem survived. It’s crazy, i almost give up to kill the Wither. If someone get stuck in same situation, you could give it a try.

    I have the same issue on switch, my only solution is to go on peaceful. Forget ever getting a Nether Star

    Literally right now I was playing with my cousins and I spawned a wither. It broke so many blocks that the realms crashed and we had to reset it.

    Its still happening, we tried last night for over two hours but it lags so hard that it killed us both, and it glitched and put me all the way back at spawn when I had my spawn point set near the battle area. Spawn is over 8,000 blocks away. He created his own cave system and unfortunately we lost everything because we couldn't get down to it. Please look at this and find a solution, we would love to finally get this advancement
