Me and my friend play in a minecraft bedrock creative world almost every day, and just a couple hours ago i got stuck on a screen saying "Locating Server", and it wouldn't go away. My friends told me my body spawned in but they couldn't teleport me, hurt me, do any commands on me, but it said i was in the world. I tested many things and reasons why this was happening.
(NOTE: This was Version 1.16.40, and we had a texture pack enabled on the world. We all play on Xbox One. I tried connecting to the world on my PC and on my Xbox, both did not allow me to connect.)
I tried an alt account. I connected, so this means it wasn't an internet connection error.
I tried restarting and hard-resetting Minecraft and both of our consoles. It didn't work.
I tried using wired and un-wired connection. Both didn't work.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft on both consoles. It didn't work.
We tried unfriending and refriending eachother. It did not work either.
Many things we tried did not work. However, I was able to join my friend on another world. It was only this specific world and its copies that did not allow me to join. Does anyone know a solution to this? The world cannot be corrupted as another friend of mine joined my friends world fine, my alt joined it fine, but my main account cannot join without being stuck on that "Locating Server" screen.
(DONT REDIRECT ME TO THE "SOLUTION". THE XBOX LINK IS OUTDATED AND OUR NAT TYPES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. TRY TO FIND OUT WHATS WRONG, SO ALL THESE PEOPLE INCLUDING ME CAN ACTUALLY PLAY THIS GAME.)

As of now, i’m still waiting on a response of the world’s size from my friend, but yes, it still does not work in 1.16.201.

My friend finally found out the size, it is 55 Megabytes.

It also still doesn’t work in 1.16.210.

UPDATE FOR 1.16.220
still no luck. Tried to connect in the latest patch, but locating server was all i saw. I thought I had come up with a solution, that the world was lagged out by redstone machines, as right before I got glitched I built a massive redstone light array. After my friend dismantled it, i still couldn’t join. If this info is needed, and if mods are still watching this post, the world is 55 Megabytes large and a couple years old. We use the Halo Mash-Up texture pack, and the area we were in was in a tundra that was heavily bombed by tnt and has a massive underground structure made of iron and redstone contraptions.

IT WORKED!!! Thank you so much!
Are you still having this issue in 1.16.201? If so, is the world you're trying to join over 100MB in size?
