Minecraft capped at 30 FPS on my Nord 5 (Snapdragon 8s Gen 3)

Help Bedrock

I’m having a strange issue with Minecraft Bedrock on my phone.

Device: OnePlus Nord 5 Chip: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Refresh rate: 144 Hz (set to High)

Minecraft is capped around 30 FPS on visual vibrant enable, 60 FPS on Fancy graphics, no matter what settings I change. The phone doesn’t seem to be under heavy load.

What’s weird is other games where winds met run fine I can play heavy open-world games on high/ultra and get ~45–50 FPS, so the hardware is clearly capable.

I also saw older Nord 4 getting ~120 FPS in Minecraft, so I’m confused why this newer one performs worse.
