Opening chest disconnects client in multiplayer

Try closing all your apps and launch Minecraft again. I'm having issues when having other apps in the background too

thanks for the suggestion but no other apps are open and I have rebooted both devices ....and only crashes when opening a chest.

Probably also worth noting that the worlds were created with mcpe 0.5.0.

My kids found this same bug this morning. Both using an ipod touch 4th gen, both updated to MCPE 0.6. When the visiting player in a wi-fi game touches one of the host's chests, the game crashes, exits. Host can use chests with no problem. "Closing" Minecraft from the task switcher and restarting has no effect, chest touching crash still occurs.

This is on an "exiting" world from 0.5, have not yet tried on a new world generated in 0.6.

Thanks for the Confirmation Phil, let's hope the bug track sticks 🙂 would love to get back to multi-player with all the cool new bits the Mojang guys have added 🙂

Thanks Jim, Please vote up this bug track and hopefully we will see that it gets some attention 🙂

It sure is, along with the save bug, there do seem to be a few "show stoppers" in the release. Fingers crossed for a 0.6.1 patch VERY soon 🙂 and thanks for the vote.

I can confirm this problem with the chest. We all have this problem as Phil describe. Sadly without chest we can not play and enjoy new update of this game. 😞

Thanks for the confirmation Libuse, please vote for the bug and get it raised up the queue 🙂

My kids and I have had trouble with multi-player since we updated to 0.6.0 for our ipad mini's. They were able to get on for a while and play, but opening the chest did crash it. However, we have had issues all day trying to play together. I can see my sons server, but it won't allow me to connect and it allows my daughter to connect to his world just to become disconnected in less than 3 mins. Very disappointed😞

Omg, I want to play so bad and I can't . Without the chest working I am not having fun😞

Glad to see this bug was reported before I got here. 🙂

It also happens in creative mode, worlds created in 0.5 and 0.6.

This problem is not limited to the iOs, also have the same problem on Android 4.0.3 platform.

I also have this issue.

My brother and I are having the same problem. I am hosting our great survival server on iPod 4th gen's and when ever they try to open anyone's chest, they automatically get disconnected. The server was created after 0.5 update.

Same problem for me and my two brothers too.....we are lost without chests...

Even if the chest isn't created by another player the game still crashes.

Just break the chest and collect what's in it.
Also because you are in multiplayer you can have the host open the chest and chuck the items back at you.

Fingers crossed for MCPE 0.6.1 🙂

I was the client on my friend's world and I was actually able to open my door chest (it had nothing but doors in it) but 5 seconds later it would crash.
Hope that helps🙂

that's not the problem, the problem is the inconvience

It's a major bug by now

Well, I guess I'll have to stick with singleplayer.😞

Also happening to my wife and I please vote this up so we can get it resolved. This is also affecting the Android version, and cross platform play as well.

This is a huge problem for me and as I can't downgrade to 0.5.0, I hope a update will be released ASAP.
Also, this issue is not only on iOS 6, but also on Android 4.0 ICS, 4.1 JB, and 4.2 JB.

That's great news Jim and Thanks for the link, also thanks to Jongho for the extra info. As long as people keep voting it up then we stand a chance of a quick fix (fingers crossed) thanks everyone for the comments.

There will be details released later today (from Mojang) about 0.6.1 version bug fixes etc. I really hope we see some progress. I know that for a lot of people the game is broken. I think they listen so let's keep helping them to help us 🙂

Good morning. How or where do you vote for the fixing of this glitch?

Thanks fuj1n (Arthur). Libuse, you can follow fuj1n's suggestion 🙂

Thanks 🙂

anyone that's interested can tweet me on @mindrover1.

Fixed for 0.6.1 (it's almost finished).

Now just hope we are lucky with the approval process on iTunes. Android users will hopefully get the update today.

Thanks Aron, Really appreciate the comment and the response from your team 🙂 Hope the bug reports help 🙂

Is that mean that iphone/iPod/ipad user waiting for iTunes approval what will take ..... How long? Thank you.

Libuse, it can take anything from a day to a week (maybe more) but I hope it will be a few days.

I hope the guys working at iTunes are kind and approve the update within a few hours. I really want to play Multiplayer by tomorrow.

Absolutely Jongho, but remember that the 0.6.0 took over a week for review before it was released by iTunes (with bugs)...
@mindrover1

Yeah Jongho, me too.

They can't fix these bugs in a single day. I'll probably be expecting one within the next week or 2.

Micheal, as I already stated, the bugs are fixed, we are just awaiting the post to iTunes and then the review and release 🙂 this could take a bit longer than the bug fixes, Mojang have responded quickly but Apple (iTunes) do not prioritize in the same way 🙂

Same thing here! I can't open chests on my bro's world! :O

Nate...it's already fixed, this bug track is resolved...we just don't have the patch yet 🙂

I have the exactly same problem.It is so annoying that I can't play multiplayer game properly with my brother. Pliz fix it !

I am having the same problem. We use ipod4, iphone5 and galaxy 3s (android). I have the "world" on my phone and my husband and son can not join and open chest without crashing their aps. It is not fun without multiplayer 😞 Otherwise I can deal with the other bugs but this one makes it not playable for us.....

Crashing happened in multiplayer when opening chests no matter if 0.5.0 or 0.6.0 created the world... The game has technically been reverted to when there were no chests... Weirdly it's only occurring in multiplayer...

And I agree with Jessica... I play this game with my dad. We decided not to play until the bug fix comes out.

The 0.6.1 update for Android is out in an hour or so, and fixes most (all?) of the issues with 0.6.0.

Lucky people with Androids 😞

I am having this issue as well. It was NOT FUN losing all of my items!!!! By the way, the 6.1 patch update for the android isn't out yet...

0.6.1 is out for Android

My kids and I are having the same issues...

When will the update be out for IOS devices?

Q: When will the update be out for IOS devices?
A: Hopefully very soon! It's submitted, and fingers crossed it gets through quickly.

Until 0.6.1 has passed review, iOS users should please restart the game between plays (that means, don't enter a world TWICE without closing/restarting the app) to avoid trouble with multiplayer or unsaved changes.
