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 Friday December 14, 2018? 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.

iOS no more Minecraft for us! It won’t join, can’t connect, crashes repeatedly! It worked on my phone yesterday but now it won’t. I just bought this app 2 weeks ago! I am fairly crushed!

I’m on iOS December 12th 2018 had an update today played with a friend on her world but just realized when I try to play on my old world(s) it won’t load at all it’s stuck on the generating bar and it doesn’t fill up at all, I’ve spent a lot of time in my worlds and can’t seem to find any way to fix it. Very frustrating especially if I start over I feel like I’ll make a new world again just go through this on every update if anybody can help me it would be very appreciated thank you

December 6th, 2018. Okay, so I just finished building my 6th redstone operated mansion, I took a break and tried to go back on Minecraft. It loaded, then crashed before the menu screen loaded fully. I tried everything, closing the app, shutting down my iPhone, software update, nothing worked. I searched it up and found this article. So this is a global glitch? I really hope this gets fixed soon, really frustrated. Btw, I have a iPhone 5s, pretty old, idk what to do and pretty sure it’s not just cause my phone is old. Help please

MCPE on my sons iPad has not been working. It appears to be opening then just closes down. So frustrating! Is there a fix on the way?
Sneeky Kidd

okay phone is giving me a message that says it cant connect to realms right now and wont let me on servers i have tried everything. Deleting the app and re-downloading it, turning off my phone, logging out, turning off my phone while its logged out. im kinda freaking out. I also am on an Iphone 6 and on the latest ios update. it happened like 2 days ago and i know this happened before but i have no idea how it was fixed and im scared i will have to give up on the game

Minecraft PE on iOS 12.1 iPad stopped working after last update. As with others, appears to be loading in but crashes before game selection screen.

I used another iPad and loaded on image of the original iPad and the Minecraft icon showed up immediately as “loading” and was stuck at about half way. I tried deleting this and reloading the game. This fixed it but all games lost—this is not okay! Now I must dump that image and hope Mojang fixes this soon so the original iPad—with games-will work.

I suspect if the programmer’s children were Minecraft addicts this would be very uncommon indeed. Kids NEED this… Hoping for quick resolution for peace at this house.

My MCPE has stopped working probably since last month. I never knew what happened to it or anything but the last time I used it was when I played in one of the servers. I logged off without leaving the server and when I returned, I got stuck in the Title screen and it crashes. I always try to play from now and then but it just crashes no matter what I do.
Im using an Ipad btw.

My game runs just fine when I open the app on my Ipad. However, then I go into one of my worlds and take about two steps and the game turns black and immediately crashes. Every single time. It’s been doing this for a few weeks now. SO ANNOYING

Yesterday, Minecraft Pocket Edition stopped working on my son’s Android tablet. At first, neither of us could enter the other’s world, which was frustrating enough. Then, things got bad. When he tries to open any world, the progress bar advances to the last tick mark and stays there indefinitely. I am not having this issue on my Android phone. We tried reinstalling his app, and for a while we were back to the first problem (but with all his worlds gone). This morning, he suddenly has his worlds back, but they winwo load.

Mary Stewart

MCPE is crashing on Startup. Has been all day. Shows the white screen with “Minecraft” then closes. Have tried restarting the app, restarting my sons tablet and reinstalling the game. No luck all around.
Star Inc

I’ve got an Android and I’ve been having this crash where I tap the app it rushes from the black screen to the white, to the minecraft on white. It’s been happening since the beginning June 2018. Please do help.
Chrys

The next major update is most likely in December. So if there aren’t any bug fix updates between then and now, it means we’ll be waiting for another month.
Scott Feierstein

Still no luck. Crashing over and over.
