Minecraft Pocket Edition app problems

If you are a regular player of Minecraft Pocket Edition on iOS or Android, this is the page when you can check the Minecraft PE server status and find out if the game is down or not working in your area.

Mojang regularly update the game with new patches and there’s usually an intensive beta program that takes place before each final launch.

On occasion though, Mojang’s servers can have problems so you can leave your status below on if you are suddenly having issues and can’t get into a Minecraft server on PE.

Is Minecraft down for you right now, for the Pocket Edition on Tuesday October 17, 2017? If so, tell us if you are on Android or iOS and how long you have been locked out of the game.

Keep checking this page as we’ll update it with official status alerts from Mojang, or if there is scheduled Minecraft PE server maintenance due to happen.

  • Valerie Huff

    My son and I play Minecraft PE on our phone and tablet. I updated the game on both devices this week because it was not letting us in. After the updates, we still cannot get in on the devices, both Android, or any of Sam’s worlds. The phone says Minecraft is not responding, freezing at the white screen with the Minecraft label, then timing out on the phone and throwing us out on the tablet. Both devices have worked for us before to play Minecraft together.

    My husband and I started playing mcpe in Aug 2017 daily. After the update, 2 days ago, we have not been able to play together. Characters are missing that we bought with coins. We also purchased two Gold memberships and we still cannot play together. The game lags and glitches. We wish we had not updated! I want all our progress in Isles of Aeria back because we built for weeks and now everything we enjoyed is gone.

    My son plays Minecraft on his Android tablet. It updated last night. Now it starts to load. Shows “Minecraft” on the screen. Then shuts down. Get the message that the program is not responding. Then get the message that he has no license and must go to the store to download.

  • Annie Leathes

    My son plays minecraft pe on the iPad and since the latest update it keeps kicking him out to the home screen aftfer playing for a couple of minutes..any news on when it will be fixed?

  • Marita Frazer

    On my Pendo tablet- Android, Minecraft PE has been down for nearly 9 days. It blackscreens and goes back to home page. I would have re-started at least 100 times by now. The battery went flat without warning while I was playing and shut down. I was extensively using seas sponges to dry up a walled underwater city but only in small stages. At first I thought I might have glitched it by over-using the sponges but I see that many others have the same issue. I’ve googled how to save my worlds and my progress but I’m a VERY NON techno savvy Nanna and don’t understand half of the words let alone to try to do it and I would be very disappointed if I had to uninstall and reinstall the game, risking the loss of all my progress. This is the only game I like playing to relax so I’m asking nicely, “Please fix it soon”

  • John Navarro

    My daughter’s using MInecraft PE on iOS, currently just shows the white splash MOJANG screen than fails to open. Been going on since Aug 2017 update. Doesn’t sound like they did much beta testing on the latest update, doesn’t seem to be working for any iOS users
