We are using an iPad Air and an iPad Mini With Retina. Both are running iOS 9.2.1. We purchased and installed the latest version of Minecraft PE (v0.14.0) on both iPads. The iPads are both logged into my icloud account. A single copy was purchased on my account and is being used on both iPads. Please let me know if this is not a good way to run. I do not mind purchasing a second copy, but I do not know how since both iPads are on the same iCloud account.
For the last few days, my son and I have been playing a multiplayer world together with no problems. Today we read a tutorial and decided to create a brand new world to start from scratch. At first, I could not even see the new game. After restarting several times, I could see it. However, after joining it, I would often see the sky flashing and be unable to move. Sometimes I could move around the world, but I always end up getting disconnected from the game after a few minutes of playing.
We tried killing the minecraft process on both iPads and restarting, but this had no effect.
We then uninstalled and reinstalled minecraft on both iPads. After creating a new world on one ipad (survival), the other ipad was unable to see see the new world for about 15 seconds. We waited patiently and when the world appeared as an option on the other iPad, we attempted to connect. However, after trying to connect, the other ipad reported "Unable to connect to world". On the second attempt, the sky was flasying and the new player was unable to move for a period of time. After waiting for a period of time, the sky stopped flashing and the game was successfully joined. We attempted to move toward a stand of trees. As we were moving, the second ipad (not the host) was "Disconnected from server".
We are very excited about the possibility of playing Minecraft PE together mainly because of how easy it is to setup a mutiplayer game. For now, we will put it on hold and wait for the next update. We look forward to playing again when multiplayer mode is more stable.
