This is still an issue at 1.21.4. I created a single world (Jan 20th 2025) warm ocean biome and there was land everywhere. This appears to be at odds with what blocks are meant to be available? All the land was sand over sandstone. Also the world appears to have no stronghold which makes a play though impossible.

I agree with ‘migrated’, this issue has not been resolved. The status should be changed.

Okay... I’ve found out the problem now. 
The place I live at is a new develop area which doesn’t have WiFi port yet. So today I was at my parents place, which has WiFi, so I decided to give it a try.. and Minecraft was perfect running. No frozen screen.. no crash.. once I left my parents house.. I only left 4g to use.. which I don’t know why Minecraft doesnt let me use 4g even I have unlimited data, and in game setting I’ve tick “use celldata” 

and now... the problem comes again!!! Frozen screennnn and keeps crash in game... 

majong!!! Seriously??!! Have you ever thought of ppl who don’t have WiFi?? And btw, using my old phone hwawei p20.. I can use my 4g to play.. but not iPhone 11 Pro Max... what the.... fix it guys!!! I’ve paid for this game.. 

I’m new to this game. Just bought it a few days ago. I can’t use my 4g to play with my iPhone. Please help. I don’t have a WiFi at home.

I’ve just uploaded a short clip where u can see my game frozen. But my phone is still recording. Please fix it guys.. come on..

I’m using iPhone 11 Pro Max. Current version 13.4.1 iOS , and I have 200bg free space. When I’m in game it only stays for around 2-3min. And my screen goes frozen. And then force close Minecraft app. Even with all the settings low it’s still the same. PLEASE fix it!! 

Me too. I’m using iPhone 11 Pro Max with 13.4.1 ios. And I have 200gb free space. But every time I go in game, it only loads about 2-3 min and the game freeze. And force close. PLEASE fix this ASAP. 

Same issue. I have yet to see any patrol at all.

As of 1.14.1 I also don't see any wandering villagers anymore; they were spawning fine in 1.14. with decent time intervals. Patrols spawn is non-existent as of release 1.14. & 1.14.1

Added info: 

I've been to different villages (2 of which are the new type) and didn't see patrols spawn anywhere withing their vicinity or in the infinite world just in general. Additionally, spending a little time in a village also didn't draw out different conclusions. 

as an additional note to the above, it will ONLY work this way, done in this order - any deviation from this at all (for example if I wanted to join my sons world, but launched minecraft before he did) - it wouldn't work

Yeah, it's still there - not as bad as it was, but still there. We have found the following works (and is the quickest way to solve)

Both (or multiple) users need to close minecraft (by double pressing home button and swiping it away)
People who want to join world need to switch on airplane mode for 10 seconds or so, then turn off again (the person whose world they are trying to join does not need to do this)
Person whose world will be joined needs to launch minecraft FIRST, and enter their world
Then (and only then) do other users launch minecraft, click play, and the world they want to join will appear.

Only takes about 30 seconds or less in total, so it's a good workaround - BUT - and I'm talking to mojang here - it IS a workaround, and the issue really needs fixed so it works as it should and always did until v.11

Fair enough Aleksandra - though hopefully it's fixed soon, as, even in my own home, minecraft is losing players due to this - who, you never know with kids, might never pick up the game again once they decide they don't like it any more...

Everyone else - you heard them - the more votes this has, the more severe they'll see it, and the sooner it'll be fixed, so if you have this issue, make sure to vote in the top right corner!

Yeah, 4 days later and Minecraft / Mojang don't seem interested at all...

This is, unfortunately, what i expected to happen to minecraft once microsoft got involved, and so it comes to pass - buggy software being released, making things worse, and hugely slow to fix problems...

So what is the fix? Because turning both devices off, turning wifi off, resetting wifi - NONE of it works.

for the record, I've tried with ipad 2, ipad 3 and iphone 4s, all running the latest ios, and none are working.

seems quite common - also see (and vote for, to get attention on it) here https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-10552

have done - it's at https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-10552
would do no harm if people with the same issue were commenting / voting for the report, so the good people at mojang can see it's a widespread issue, not just a one off...

Had already tried that (of course) - resetting the ipads, quitting and re-starting the app, closing all other apps, turning all setings on and off, disconnecting and reconnecting to wifi etc.

None of it working.

this seems to be happening to quite a lot of people - see http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/support/minecraft-pocket-edition-support/2521674-cant-use-local-server-multiplayer-help

My kids (aged 5) love playing in creative worlds on their ipad 2, and always join each others worlds (by clicking play and waiting for the world the other person is in to appear in blue with a wifi signal beside it) - since updating last night to 0.12.1 (auto downloaded from app store), the other persons world does not appear at all in this list - they are both connected to wifi, both on the same network, in a world with multiplayer turned on, everything as it should be - and all else seems to work fine (playing in their own worlds is fine) - simply they do not get the option to join each others worlds - please help - this is a major issue for them as it's playing with each other, and being able to join each others worlds that they love about minecraft.

I also tried joining their worlds from my iphone 4s and no multiplayer worlds are appearing on it either

You seem to have missed this very major one which seems to be affecting quite a lot of people.
