A Noob

This bug is present in Bedrock too. The wiki states that both water and lava convert concrete powder into concrete and I was just startin a 180 source block pour and came across this issue

Any timescale on when this will get attention?

The custom skin issue might be related to a cheat people used to use to stop them taking damage. I know that loophole was closed recently plus I think the one where they could use a skin from the game and play as a mob. You're sure they're not trying to load any of those skins / mods? If so I would just tell them just deserves 😉

2 weeks in a realm getting maxed armour and stuff to come out to some cheat hat kills you with op witch abilities gained by cheating?  Crashing is too good for them! I see many people using custom skins ok so migght be an idea to verify its a bug by downloading a skin crafting app, making a skin and seeing if you have an issue with it. In my expeeience, kids tend to know they're doing something dodgy (or not) and try to get 'parent' (substitute mommy or daddy) to get it going for them once they are shut down. Not making any accusations here but am suggesting you all look a bit deeper as those kind of expectations could be an issue as people get older.

All seems good after reinstalling guys, thanks! Since I lost my original worlds with the offending 1.6 update I used a new world and blocks break ok now. I'm just waiting for the realms to update to check that side of things out.

Let me take the opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas and an excellent New Year 🙂

Guys, the new update worked a treat on my Lumia. Very well done and thanks for the hard work to solve all of those issues, however... Touch control is not working now on my lumia 735. I spawn ok but I canoot break blocks - you know... Like punching wood - which of course is fundemental to the game :/

you want me to open a new issue or do you think this will be a quick fix? Will try reinstalling quickly (if possible) and update you on what happens first though. Just thinking it might be a product of upgrading rather than a bug (scatty morning :/)

But just retrying yet another reinstall I notice that the craah happens whether signed in or not and if you try bypassing the sign-in, it crashes yet again. By the way, we still haven't reached the main menu yet on either route but perhaps some others can feed back their experience now.

Uhm Dean..

That's the problem. You can't get to the main menu in Minecraft and if you reinstall it, it still won't work. I do agree that the integration might have some bearing on this as when you click the sign in button from a new install, you get the crash.

As for cache clearing, not all devices give you that option.

I'm still getting this issue since v1.6.2. I paid for this game so I can play while I'm travelling long distance and as a backup in case of issues with other devices. The time taken to sort this out.... Its just WRONG!

windows 10 mobile 1607. Build 10.0.14393.2551

Tried them without any luck (workarounds) Even though I can get to see the updates screen after logging out of xbox after reinstall, it still xrashes after I proxeed to the menu

Scratch that - I just read the reddit post on it and like duping and those 32k items, its a plague! I'm a non-afk fisher and now realise that his issue sounds suspicious too :/

I wasn't aware of afk fishing but I doubt its as bad as the various dupings. Hackers use duping machines to make realms unplayable as I found out last week. By the time the owner realised it, there were so many minecarts noone could log in at spawn /0\. Although people had noticed 'a lot of minecarts near spawn' noone realised the significance until the map became unplayable.

Ok, so I'm back again with some good 'other news'. I exported the worlds on my laptop after my phone episodes once I got back and updated mc on there and that seems to work perfectly, however, due to the update issues I am wondering whether realm owners will have a global 3 days extension.

I thought that the issue would have been tracked down and fixed by now but my phone hasn't recieved any updates as yet and i still have the issue on it.

I think a realm extension will go some way to restoring any goodwill lost as the result of these update issues.

Note: There are others talking about this issue in xbox clubs that have not reported it so far so it might be a good idea to be proactive.

And who start up experience should read as whole startup experience.

Further to my comments earlier, I had another look at the who start up experience and noticed something that seemed like an error fork that might be contribiting to this bug. At the initial mojang banner which may or may not load (that in itself is a departure from normal behaviour - debug / testing code?) there seems to be a pause before the mojang banner goes into landscape mode. That mojang banner only renders as a blank white screen (the landscaped one) prior to the initial minecraft screen with the white background.

Once the white minecraft banner transitions to the aquatic background, the view starts to pan around and then starts shaking and it is somewhere in that area that the issue arises as the screen then just goes completely black.

I have cleared my edge cache, restarted my device, tried joy's date and offline workaround to no avail but I'm hoping that these detailed observations from a seasoned debugger will help you pinpoint the problem guys as it seems to be an issue that has been around too often and long not to be resolved even by 'a noob' 😉

By the way, read seasoned bug hunter rather than debugger above. This jira app doesn't allow a cursor so I'm NOT retyping all that!

Lumia 635 patched up to date (windows 10 mobile) running mc bedrock 1.6.14. I had this issue since the update and of course, I'm not very happy-.-

In case of confusion, mc loads the white mincraft banner, transitions to the aquatic background but before any buttons are loaded, the screen goes black.

I noted that menus are 'a thing' at the moment so I'm wondering whether some well intentioned 'person' decided to introduce some menu code that was not fully tested for the entire mc ecosphere?
