I cannot play the game at all after installing the 1.19.70 update to my iPad mini 4 yesterday. The game forced me to apply the update when I tried to play on my paid realm. After the update Minecraft now crashes before it can properly load the main screen. My iOS version is 15.7.3. I have not been able to get the game to successfully load. I restarted my device and same problem. I will try reinstalling the app today. Prior to update it had no problem loading and I could see the main screen, and I could select play and see all the realms I play as well as my own. This update is the cause of the crashing.

EDIT: Uninstalling the app, rebooting device, then reinstalling worked. Luckily I had no local worlds saved. I only played realms. But I DID lose all my edited characters and now have to remake those. Players with a lot of local storage will have a headache due to needing to backup everything first. An update shouldn’t cause these kinds of time consuming problems.

This is happening in 1.17 a lot. Bedrock edition. I have found a total of 9 temples since summer through to last night and all but one were empty. No chests generated and no floor plate in center. The seed I was on last night was -1385578754 and Coordinates were 762 57 552. I did not just run up to temple the minute I saw it from the distance. My render was still set on 8 chunks from a previous need and I hadn’t set it back to 12 yet.

I was tinkering in a village further north on the 3/4 map where the temples are. There are two villages, each with a separate temple, not far apart. I had been in the first village about 40 minutes. When I approached the first temple I didnt go in. I was setting up my horse and asked the world owner if they had seen it yet. While waiting for an answer I broke one block beside front door to get a better view of floor (buried in one block of sand,) and saw the floor still in tact with the purple terracotta center. The owner said no and I chose to pass it up since it was close to spawn and where she was and wanted to let her have it first. I continued further south on that 3/4 map and was surprised to find another temple. Good deeds and all that jazz…so I spent about 10 minutes getting my horse inside and blocking his way out. Then I proceeded to spiral my way down on outside but could tell before 1/2 way that there were no chests. I went a bit further to see if the pressure plate was there and it wasn’t. I did not dig under to see if TNT was there.

No one else plays her world but us two. She hadn’t been south of the spawn 3/4 map we started with.

I will try to remember to update this with seed and coords of my new world I generated early in week where this happened and my friend said it was empty. I had found it before him and didnt get really close to it. I dont know how many blocks away. I didnt go nearer because I was saving it for my friend. He had been generous on his world so I kept the temple untouched for him to enjoy and gave him the coordinates. But when he told me it was completely empty. No chests at all. He thought I was playing a joke on him but I wasn’t. Really ruined my reciprocated generosity.

Why is this marked resolved? I’ve had this problem for over a year. Any search including mobile devices are linked here and marked as resolved.

When trying to download any marketplace world that I own, it freezes after I select “download.” I have to force close Minecraft app and it never downloads the world. 131 worlds of which many are Realms Plus because I have 2 subscriptions, and I can’t play any. It even the ones I paid real money for.

This is not resolved.

iPad Mini 4
iOS 14.7.1
Realms Plus Subscriber: one 10-player realm and one 2-player realm.

After all this time this problem has only gotten worse, not better. Now my purchased skin packs from the marketplace don’t show at all no matter how long I wait to let them load. I have well over 30 packs that I have purchased and I can’t wear a single skin from them for months now. I do see the custom packs I created and added to game library. Additionally, when I select a new skin from the Realms Plus options available to me or my custom packs, no one else on the realm sees that my skin changed. When I pause the game it shows that the skin I equipped is on my player, but others don’t see it even after waiting a good 15 minutes. They do not have “Only Allow Trusted Skins” checked, and besides - they can’t see trusted skins from your realms packs either, and those are trusted. So it wouldn’t show any skin from those that I purchased anyway even if they did load, but they don’t.

Why is it taking so long to resolve something that involves our real money? Not getting what we paid for is a serious issue. I find it very strange that it never has a problem loading the skin packs that I have not purchased, as if it wants me to buy more and only shows me what I don’t own. What I purchased never load to be viewed.

This is happening with every axioltl I bring back to my base. I pick them up in a bucket. I release them into a pond I made for them. When I leave the area to go mine or explore or log off for the night, when I come back to my base or log back on the next day they are gone. Frustrated I named two new ones I placed in my pond with name tags even though the wiki says any picked up with a bucket won’t despawn, but still when I logged on the next day both were gone. I cannot keep any axioltl at all. This is really upsetting because we are supposed to be able to keep them as pets. 

For me 30 minutes and still no dice.

I’m extremely frustrated by this. I just created two new skin packs and installed them myself properly on my iPad. In the com.mojang skin packs folder. Coded properly. I’ve been sitting here after tapping “Owned” and only one of the two packs is there. The smaller one with only 17 skins in it. The loading bars have been showing for 30 minutes now. 30! What else could cause them to not load? It is coded exactly like the other pack. It is a larger pack of 59 though. Is that why? Is there some limit to the number of skins allowed in a pack?

Also, the many, many packs I have purchased from the marketplace never load all of them either whenever I play and I can never find a skin I want in a timely manner. I have over 21 packs, and after 3 minutes from tapping “Owned”, the same 5 packs are the only ones showing. But new unpurchased ones have no problem loading at all! They load with lightning speed. But I can’t see all the ones I purchased. Nor my own installed pack.

I waited to submit this to get actual times. Now after 10 more minutes I have 21 purchased packs showing. But when I backed out, then go back into edit character just now, only 5 are there. I have to wait again. The others are loading about 1 every 60 seconds. So far there are only 14 showing after 5 more minutes. So the purchased ones eventually load, but it takes far, far too long.  Now it has been 9 minutes and I only have 19 showing. 

However, my personal large pack never loaded either time. Loading bars just keep rolling endlessly.

I'm playing on a multiplayer realm. I'm on iPad version 1.9 January 28 2019 build. No plugins. I joined the server 2 days ago. Was able to see underwater good enough to kill fish. I could see clearly about 5-8 blocks in front of me. Even further with less clarity. Today every time I go into water the minute I'm under the whole screen is black. I can't see even one black count nIt remains black no matter how long I wait or where I move. Very frustrating especially with Drowned. They already make enjoying the ocean a killjoy, but complete blackness kills all play.

Just fyi for others that may search for this post, I DID download from mcpedl.com, and they were the same as the others I sent to you at first; actually one of those was from that site.

Also, I did use gamepedia. They quoted jpgs are accepted.

• Under Java edition, “A player can only change their character's skin if they have purchased Minecraft. This is done on the Profile page by uploading a valid .png image file (note: .jpg files will be accepted), which will then replace the default skin.”

• Then under PE, “Players can choose one of the two default skins either Steve or Alex, and can apply their own custom skin. (Uses the same format as the Java edition).”

• However, even though it says jpg files will be accepted, jpg files cannot preserve transparency. Gamepedia says further down, “When editing the "steve.png" file manually, be sure to keep the original image dimensions and make the background of the skin (the unused pixels) completely transparent. Otherwise, Minecraft may fail to recognize the skin as intended.” And so their site contradicts itself. The transparency must have been the problem on so many sites, including mcpedl.com, specifically for saving the skin from a mobile browser. None of them work.

So like I said, for iOS PE, using another app for skins from the appstore seems to be the only way right now. I hope this info helps anyone searching for this as a bug.

OK, I got it to work. The only way was to use apps from the appstore specifically for MCPE Skins. They save it properly to your camera roll and it imports beautifully. Between four apps, I found a lot that were like the ones I loved, or similar.

It appears you can’t use websites with download buttons. The thumbnails are what gets opened up, and they are not the proper pixel size/formats. Sometimes .jpg and sometimes .png, but the pngs were not saved with transparency in tact.

I’d advise others with this problem to download the appstore apps for this and forget using the internet sites. All the apps also have an edit tool if you want to adjust/modify one. Make sure it specifies “PE”. Try a few. Don’t pay for them!! Not necessary. Plenty there free.

As an example, I’ll upload a picture of one so you can see the difference between the ones I uploaded before. The background on these are appropriately black for the transparency when looking at them in your camera roll, rather than the white background of jpgs or a png saved improperly. Thanks for your help Mega_spud. It set me looking in the right direction to solve it. (Suggest they explain some of this in FAQ for PE to help others quicker in future.)

Discord is absolutely no help. Needle in a haystack. No channel specifically for PE either. What a hopeless feeling to go to all these sites and not find any help. When I go to Mojang “support”, they send us here. See image I have attached.

This was the best place to come for help on this issue out of all the other places and communities to go for help. It still is. Please don’t pass us off to those same “links” when they can’t help anyone with this issue and we are always referred back here. This is a bug issue, even if just in the documentation available to your players. FAQ is insufficient on this topic. Many of us need help and guidance with this, and Mojang needs clearer information about it in their FAQ.

So the transparency causes the issue? Your reply to the original poster said it might exceed transparency guidelines. But now you think it isnt enough?

Anyway, if transparency is so fickle, then that would make sense for why so many people run into this problem for so long. There are three websites I visited for PE skins, and they all have download buttons that just open the image in another tab and you have to save from there. But the image is blurry and small.

Ok I’ll check out Discord, but I checked the links below before posting here. Its next to impossible to find help with skins that are showing black....unless you are Android, which has tons of help. But not iOS.

You may close this. You reopened the other one. Thank You!!!

Heres a few samples...I don’t know why they are so tiny though. They were saved by clicking “download” from the website I gave.

Thank you

This is NOT resolved. How can ut be marked as resolved when it is still happening exactly the same as the original poster showed?

I have an iPad Mini 2. It is running iOS 11. I downloaded MCPE from appstore yesterday, February 24th, 2018. It is the most current version !!

I am attaching images to show you the entire sequence of actions in detail. They are numbered 1-10, and I’ve combined more than one image at a time into single images to upload fewer than 10.

I have done these steps over 10 times in all sorts of situations: reboot app. Restarted device, paused playing to go back out to try, tried it before playing, etc. etc.

It never shows anything no matter which skin I choose. I downloaded the skins from minecraftskins.com for PE edition.

I don’t want to use ANY skins from Microsoft marketplace. I don’t like any of them at all, and prefer my own choices. We shouldn’t have to be forced to buy theirs to be able to use something other than Alex. I am playing with others who all have their own skins, except me.

It is now Feb of 2018. The internet shows complaints about this since PE came to iOS, and it still is not fixed.

Why did you mark this resolved and not give any detail as to what you did to resolve it?? You make us first search past bugs before starting a new one. Well why? They don’t show how to fix it!!

I’m not enjoying being trapped with just Alex. It removes a really fun feature - and its one of the most common ones. Please fix!
