Unable to interact with crafting table. Stuck loading.

Brand new first time using the game. Unable to interact with crafting table. A loading bar appears and just sits there until I forget to keep moving the controller and my Switch times out. The game is completely unplayable.

 

Found a LAN cable and tried on my TV; great internet speeds per the Switch. Game is the same results, can’t open the crafting table, I stopped counting time after 2min.
