Device: iPhone
iOS: 26.5 (stable)
Minecraft: 1.26.33
Microsoft account signed in.
When the device has no internet connection (Airplane Mode or offline), Minecraft freezes or becomes extremely slow at the main menu. Loading often stops around 55%. If I try to enter any world, I sometimes receive the Prerequisites-32 error. This happens with every world, including newly created ones. Worlds are stored locally on the device. Reinstalling the game does not fix the issue.
Steps to Reproduce
Install Minecraft 1.26.33 on iPhone (iOS 26.5).
Sign in with a Microsoft account.
Turn on Airplane Mode or disconnect from the internet.
Launch Minecraft.
Try to enter any world.
Expected Result
Minecraft should open and load local worlds normally while offline.
Actual Result
The game becomes extremely slow or freezes around 55% loading, and may show the Prerequisites-32 error when entering a world.
