I never use this so my terminology might be off, sorry. My kids play it all of the time. My daughter has used Pocket Edition for ages with no issues. Today when she tried to get into one of her worlds, she gets the Generating World / Building Terrain screen (attached image) and after a few seconds, she's bounced back to the iPad apps screen. No error messages. I made sure to completely close the app running in the background and start it fresh with the same results. I backed up the iPad into my PC via iTunes (foolishly hoping her 'stuff' would be saved). I then deleted the app and reinstalled from the App Store. Same results - won't start. Oh yeah, she's ticked at me because everything she created is gone.
In further interrogating her, she said that some of the start up screen were different today. I'm guessing there was an automatic update in the last 24 hours or so and that's the problem. Unfortunately, I didn't check the update history before I removed the app.
Suggestions? It doesn't appear that Mojang actually offers any kind of support for a program they sell - they just direct me here.
Yeah I'm having the same issues. My iPad 2 won't open up Minecraft. I asked my son if it be ok if we deleted the app and reinstalled it. I warned him ahead of time that we will most likely lose everything. Still not working. I manage to create a new world and work in it with the basic stuff but the other tecxure packages just kicks you out and you can go back into the world you created. So I started another world again and closed out of it. Now I can't get back into that one either. Thing is I didn't want to buy this game for my son. I broke down and paid for it and bought a texture pack too. One week later we can't play it.
This game just sucks! I hope they fix it or else I'm asking for a refund if I can figure out how to do that!
This is happening to my son on iPad as well. It's version 0.16.0 of Minecraft PE, iOS 9.3.5, all up to date. Any info would be greatly appreciated! TIA.
I have the same issue. iPad 2, iOS 9.3.5, all up to date. Worked great for my daily player until this update loaded today. Looking at twitter and youtube, seems to me this is not an isolated problem by any stretch. I hope we have an update released here soon... any updates from the Devs would be most appreciated at this point.
My son is having the same issue with an Ipad Mini with the latest IOS update and the latest Minecraft update. He can open a new world, but the program exhibits the behavior above when he tries to open any saved worlds.
Plz Mojang Do Something! I Love Minecraft But With The 0.16.0 update i cant play with my ipad mini 1 it is 9.3 IOS version plz check it I want To Play Minecraft! When I Try To Open A World I Get Out Of The App
Please help!!!! I have friends coming over soon and I want to play minecraft with them but I can't, please fix this by Sunday mojang PLEASE! I beg u!!!
My son has had the same problem on his ipad mini since the update this week. His friend down the block too with his ipad. They both get the Generating World / Building Terrain screen and after a few seconds he gets booted back to the iPad apps screen. Please help.
I have this same problem! Generating world / terrain screen and after a few seconds I get booted back to the iPad App Screen. Please fix as soon as possible. I have a iPad 4, not a mini.
Exact same issue here at this end. Ipad 2. IOS 9.3.5. Minecraft PE V 16.0. Yesterday it all stopped working.
DO NOT DELETE Minecraft without looking into a piece of software called i explorer. Its free (for a bit) and you can back up your min craft worlds to a pc or mac so that whatever happens with your Ipad at least you will not have lost your worlds. My son about 100 and I did this earlier today by backing them up to my mac. I then deleted the app on the iPad. Then re-installed it. It loaded up and created a new world but when I copied the backed up worlds back on to the iPad they do not work.
Please, Please Please do not delete your worlds. I typed in "copying your minecraft worlds from 1 iPad to another" when I got a new iPad and it is brilliant.
Minecraft. Surely you must have checked this out before you issued the software???? Please fix it or you are going to lose many previously happy customers. My son is already playing a new game.
I have the same problem with my son's tablet, LG/Android, and has exactly the same problem... this is NOT an iOS related issue alone... please address this soon... I have an about-to-cry six yrs old because of this...
I have three devices with Minecraft on them and none are working both my kids are so very upset. My one question is where is the support team with this and what where they thinking?
