Summary: In build v26.13, the Ore UI pause screen suffers from a critical layout failure when the device is OFFLINE. The "Settings" button is intermittently or consistently removed from the UI stack and replaced by the "Browse Add-ons!" button. This is a global regression affecting both Survival and Creative modes, disrupting core game functionality and muscle memory.
Observed Behavior:
Online State: Pause menu renders all buttons in correct sequence.
Offline State (Universal): The essential "Settings" button disappears from the menu. The "Browse Add-ons!" button—which is non-functional without a connection—erroneously occupies the layout index traditionally reserved for "Settings."
Technical Analysis (Ore UI State Conflict):
Global Index Overwrite: This is a logic regression in the Ore UI framework's "Offline Mode" fallback. The
browse_addons_buttonappears to have a higher layout priority thansettings_buttonduring network timeouts.Resource Truncation: Instead of appending the Add-ons button to the end of the list, the Ore UI engine is overwriting the "Settings" component slot.
UI Thread Hang: The significant lag observed when pausing offline suggests a synchronous network check is blocking the UI thread, causing the layout to render in a "broken" or "partial" state.
Platform Context: Verified on Android 16.
Reproduction Steps:
Disconnect the device from all internet sources (Airplane Mode).
Launch Minecraft Bedrock v26.13.
Enter any world (Survival or Creative).
Open the Pause Menu.
Observed Result: The "Settings" button is missing. The "Browse Add-ons!" button is positioned where Settings should be.

Cannot reproduce on iOS (see below) or Windows
Image above translates to “Continue game“, “Settings” (highlighted), “Marketplace“ (grayed out because the internet is cut), “Save and exit”; On the top right, it translates to “Game has been paused“, “Socials (0)”, and “Dressing Room“ under the character.
As far as I know, the Pause screen is still based of JSON UI.
Could disabling global resource / resource pack on a world solve the issue?
This happens on Android as well, and this issue still persists despite hobbies being released. May be a JSON UI or a Ore UI based bug

This issue happens very consistently and this screenshot proves it as well. Even if the game detects if my tablet is connected to the Internet, this issue persists. The valid reason behind this is unknown and may be a UI/UX bug (JSON or Ore UI bug)
