[MCPE-179613] Specific combinations of character creator items prevent all worlds and/or servers from loading

When trying to load my realm I get "server disconnected" error. When trying to load old worlds the load bar gets stuck and when creating a new world it says "unable to connect to world please check connection". The game is completely unplayable for me.

Have tried this on series x and on Android 14. For some reason friends playing on Xbox one x are able to join the realm normally but when I try on my 2 devices I cannot play at all. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still have the same issue.

Paul dolak 2024-03-14T16:15:39Z

I just tried on my windows 10 PC and I have the same issue. I also tried another account on another series x and it was able to join my realm with no problems. It appears that it's an issue related to my account as I can't play on my realm, old worlds or create new world on Windows 10, android 14 or series x.

Being unable to connect to local worlds with that specific error message is already being tracked at MCPE-101291. Please keep in mind to only report one bug per ticket. These 3 issues may be related, but it's generally advised to report them separately, especially since one of them has already been reported.

Do you have any resource packs or add-ons enabled? Have you tried logging into your other account on the other devices, in which you were unable to access the worlds?

Could you attach a copy of some of the affected worlds?

Paul dolak 2024-03-15T11:10:52Z

Ok let's just stick with the main problem I have then which is not being able to join my own realm. Other accounts on these exact devices are able to play and join the realm normally. Minecraft has updated to 1.20.71 and I am still unable to join my own realm. Everyone else either on my devices or other devices can join with no problems.

The only resource pack I have is th default global. No add ONS except my skin. I changed to Steve skin to see if that was affecting it and I am able to join. So apparently it's an issue with my purchased skin not being able to create or join worlds.

KR_ 2024-03-15T20:27:54Z

Have you tried using other marketplace/purchased skins to see whether you can also play with those? If so, which is the skin/s you can't play with?

Paul dolak 2024-03-17T22:26:29Z

Other skins I have don't seem to affect it. Here is what the skin I had was wearing that's different than the others. Base is efe, hair is efe crop, standard eyes, standard Mouth, no facial hair, RGB colors arms, RGB colors legs(arms and legs by red eagle), hollow RGB top by gamefam, efes pants, efes cardigan, RGB cycle skull by BDcraft, RGB hands, RGB shoes (hands and shoes by Team Workbench), efes earring, RGB Monster back item by vatonage.

I could not reproduce the issue using the items listed in comments. If anyone else reproduces the same issue as it is reported, please list item names or classic skin that the issue reproduces with.

LeanMeanDebugger 2024-07-22T18:51:55Z

I've done further testing on my affected skin and found that Neon Flame hood+RGB dragon helmet consistently trigger it regardless of what other cosmetics are used. If I change to either to another cosmetic, the bug no longer triggers.

Affects the current release (1.21.2) as well as preview build (1.21.20.23)

I was encountering it with this outfit combination: all the "Void" set from the Realms promo free items from around when I filed MCPE-186810. See that ticket for a pcap of the traffic when it was broken for me.

Just switching the top was enough to fix the loading.

Top: I forgot what I had originally, but RGB Flame Aura Hoodie will do it
Bottom: Void Pants
Outerwear: Tainted Void
Headwear: Pulsating Void
Gloves: Void Hands
Footwear: Void Flames
Face Item: None
Back Item: Dark Void

Several exact sets of items that reproduce this can be found in (presumably duplicated) issue: MCPE-190349.

I can also provide video if necessary.

Once you understand the basic shape of the issue, it only takes about 20 minutes to put together unique sets that can reproduce the issue. Here's another reproducing set using completely different items that I just threw together now, buying items as necessary. And yes, I do expect a slow clap for that.

Tops: Warden Chest - By Unique Arts
Bottoms: Blue Vault Pants - By QwertyuiopThePie
Outerwear: Super Blue Aura - By King Cube
Headwear: Galaxy Head Aura - By Asiago Bagels
Gloves: Rainbow Fire Gloves - By OG Games
Footwear: Mythical Boots - By Minecraft
Face Items: RGB Face - By ShapeStudio
Back Items: Pink Butterfly Wings - By Syclone Studios

The goal is just to find the largest and loudest items to put all together at once. Perhaps it's some overload or overlapping issue, but regardless you can get a general feel for what will break it and what won't.

Description

Putting on the dressing room item “FULL RED FIRE HOODIE” by Fall Studios will prevent me from joining any world. Any time I try it it says “Server sent Broken Packet”, I've also tried only wearing the hoodie by itself, it will still prevent me from joining any world. This is a carnage skin I've put together.

Alex's Skin: Very Light - Soft

Hair: None

Summary:
“Block” error when loading worlds while using marketplace skin with multiple cosmetic parts

Platform:
Windows (Bedrock Edition, PC)

Operating System Version:
Windows 10/11 (latest update)

Affects Version/s:
Latest Minecraft Bedrock Edition release (as of November 2025) v1.21.121

Description:
Steps to reproduce the issue:

Equip a marketplace skin that combines several cosmetic “Style Part” items.
- Tops: Matrix Top by Tristan Productions
- Bottoms: Ender Shade Pants by Aurrora
- Outerwear: Ender Demon Robes by The Pocalypse Studios
- Headwear: Ender Void Monster by Ender Void Monster
- Gloves: Ender Fire Hands by Ambient Creations
- Footwear: Ender Fire Boots by Ambient Creations
- Back Item: Darkness Tendrils by King Cube
Attempt to load an existing world or create a new one.

Expected result:
The world should load normally regardless of which marketplace skin is equipped.

Actual result:
The game fails to load the world and displays a “Block” error message. The issue only occurs when the described skin combination is active. Removing or switching to a default or simpler skin immediately resolves the issue, and the world loads without any problem.

Additional information:
All add-ons in the world were functioning properly before this error occurred. Troubleshooting steps (removing add-ons, clearing cache, reinstalling the game/version) did not resolve the issue. Based on testing and community reports, the crash seems to be linked to specific marketplace skins that include multiple overlapping cosmetic parts.

It’s unclear whether the issue is triggered by using several cosmetic parts simultaneously or if a single specific item among them causes the “Block” error. Further testing by Mojang may be needed to identify which component is responsible.
