Horses. Boats, other rideables are too laggy on bedrock realms

It looks like this has been opened as a bug, but has been closed as 'intended behavior' due to mount movement being moved to be server side instead of client side. The end result, however, is that on Bedrock, specifically realms, horses and boats specifically are basically unusable. There is severe lag when turning, jumping, and accelerating. This makes these modes of transportation - which are already marginalized in survival playthroughs - much worse than simply walking or flying, but most importantly, makes them not fun to use. If they are already questionably useful and now are not enjoyable, what is the point? Please roll this change back or introduce a fix that makes horses and boats responsive and intuitive to use on Bedrock realms.

    I 100% agree.

    Realms have been my default play method for years, as I play Minecraft almost exclusively with non-local family.

    All of the sudden, boats and horses are just completely useless. Even with addons to help guide travel, it’s ludicrously onerous to cover and significant amount of distance.

    I recently started my first vanilla survival work via realms and my favorite thing is to explore on horseback and boat, filling out my map collection. The horse and boat are both so jittery that I get motion sickness. I thought it would be a temporary bug, but now I am devastated to learn we have to live with it. This change has destroyed a completely acceptable mode of play and my experience.

    I am upvoting every post that says this and have made my own on this. We need to make noise until Mojang listens. They want to shove this under the rug, we can’t let them.

    Boats can be horrendously painful to travel by. Especially on Bedrock.
    We've faced this issue on realms and a server now.

    I'm so sad this bug is considered intended behavior 😭
    I sat on my horse in our Aternos server and the input delay was crazy. I then tried on a single player world (brand new) and the delay was still there, but a bit less.
    I want to be able to use my horse. Please Mojang, fix this

    Can someone share a link to the closed issue calling it intended behavior?  That's just mind boggling.

    Boats are now totally unusable on realms on the switch. They are the easiest long distance transport for early gaming especially exploring and map creation. Was this just not tested? It's destroyed the game play.

    It’s not even just Realms. I’m in a single player world and suddenly my boats are way too laggy to use.

    As requested by a previous comment, the bug report is named MCPE-231719 with the title "Horse, Donkey, Mule and Boat movement is extremely sluggish, delayed, and visually unstable". The bug report is uploaded on the website mojira dot dev, and is for whatever reason super difficult to find by using a search engine.

    I found out that horse/boat/mount lag probably stems from a deeper issue. This can be found in bug report MCPE-179969 with the name "Models lag in following entities", again on mojira dot dev. Feel free to read the comments on that bug report to know more, and how this affects the mounts.

    I would like to say it's not just realms but also SINGLE PLAYER WORLDS TOO, and this whole update is supposed to be MOUNTS OF MAYHEM?????????????????? It is so buggy to be on any mount

    Love the idea of the new update, but as it is, boats and horses, etc. are completely unusable. The game is super smooth until hopping in the boat, then the lag and stutter effect kicks in full gear.

    I cant understand why Mojang would actively make their game worse and when called out for it just shrug their shoulders and say 'Live with it' The way boats behave makes the game almost unplayable. It makes exploration (one of the BIG reasons to play) tedious and difficult. Boourns

    I have a world with a bunch of ice boat racing tracks that I would play with my friends, and thanks to this new update the world is basically unplayable. It needs to change because I’ve spent so much time on the world and put so much effort into it, and to see it be rendered useless is so frustrating

    would really love to see this addressed, or at least some indication that they'll reverse course on their decision to accept this as is. don't know how much longer i'll be playing if exploring the world is such a laggy hassle :((

    me and 2 other players just spent literally a hour or more getting a horse from one spot(spawn area) acrossed 2 maps what would (pre update) usually take maybe 2 Minecraft days. took us instead and actual over and hour and a half cause we had to keep stoping and leading my horse when it came to bridges or over water ways or ealse id end up off the road in water or pit even though my remote is sitting in my lap. the update has ruined our main mode of travel. even the notolis in the water is horrible right now. we have a huge relm we have had for years. so we need the horses, boats what ever to get places. this is crazy.

    This really needs fixed, it makes Realms way less attractive when walking is faster and safer than raiding a boat or horse!

    Well, I've officially cancelled the recurring subscription on my realm.  

    They clearly don't actually care about the game being primarily playable, so perhaps money will talk.  I doubt it'll make a difference unless a lot of other people similarly agree, but if I want to play a laggy mess, I can just host a game or join my son's hosted game.

    Commented this on a basically-identical posting.. but since it's still quite relavent:

     

    Hey MS / Mojang .. you should **really** read that post about people dropping out of your Realms service over this.  "Working as intended" is now identical to "Dropping Realms $ubscriptions because of this."

    Just a thought about the Company's Bottom Line here:  **Fix this to keep people paying you money!!**

     

    **** update:  there was a ticked created and they replied that they're actually working on fixing it in an upcoming release:

    I'm canceling my realms subscription today. The game has been unplayable to me for months now.

    I will never buy realms again. I will simply host a server on my LAN like I used to back in the old days. At least then I could mod to fix the problem myself 🙄
