I have an iPhone 7 Plus and I also tried lowering the render distance, but nothing’s worked. I can’t load any of my worlds anymore, even after trying dozens of times per day. Every new world I create falls into the same trap. I can play on servers though. Multiplayer only works if it’s in someone else’s world.

I'm absolutely sure that downloading the music is the reason for this bug, at least for my device: Samsung Galaxy s6. The beta has glitched and crashed the game in my experience, and no matter what, it deletes my worlds even when I back them up. I have my xbox live account always connected, but for some reason, it doesn't keep my worlds with it. I have lost two major worlds to this whole situation, with so much progress and work put into them. I'm getting more and more tired of this whole mess everyday. About a month after this bug started happening to me, I found out about the beta, and me being so desperate to play again, I joined the beta. After leaving the beta, all of my worlds were deleted. Honestly, I knew the beta would be a risk, but I had spent so much time waiting just to be able to play the game... I spent a lot of time trying to see if I could get my worlds back, and the videos I watched lost hope for me. "This won't work if your worlds are deleted currently" and "I can show you how to backup your worlds in-game so they won't be deleted". I have no clue when it'll be fixed, but even one month was way too much for me. If it were fixed earlier, I wouldn't have lost one of my favorite worlds permanently. All of my com.mojang and minecraftWorlds folders are empty now, but there were files in them before my worlds were deleted. Please, no one else should have to deal with the same chaos, it needs to be fixed so that it won't happen to someone else in the future...

I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it again to find one of the worlds I had previously lost. Although, it was an older version of the world, so it didn't have any of the recent changes I had made in June and July. I still don't have one of my favorite worlds back, but it'll do for now. The app is working without the music installed, but I know that re-downloading the music will crash it again. For everyone who really wants to play again, try to backup your worlds to the cloud and/or a computer and reinstall the app (don't try beta), just don't download the music. Hopefully that can be a temporary way to play the game until the bug is fixed. Why all of this trouble was caused by downloading music that was previously in the game, I don't know. Why should we have to download the music, when it should be a given? I'm kind of annoyed that downloading the music led to my worlds getting deleted...

Yeah, I just re-downloaded the music as well... It's still crashing the same way for some reason, even though the beta somewhat worked for me...
Figuring out the reason for this bug cost my worlds... And now I can't ever get them back...
Immediately once I tried to switch to external storage, minecraft crashed and stopped working. I wonder now how many more worlds it'll cost me... 😞

Okay, so the music is definitely the problem. Long story short, I downloaded the music again in the game and it immediately went back to the same behavior.

I'm finally able to play the game again with the beta somehow! However, it crashes once or twice before I'm able to play. The white logo screen shows, then crashes, then shows again, and either crashes again or goes straight to the game. I'm still very thankful to be able to see all of my worlds and play in them again for sure. I'm not sure what you did to fix most of the problem, but thank you! I'm finally playing after a few months 😃

I just noticed I said s4, but I meant s6... I actually have a Samsung s6, not an s4 lol

Yeah, I downloaded the music as well, there must be some kind of connection...

I haven't been able to play Minecraft because of this for about a month or so, and I have a Samsung Galaxy s4...
