At times there are issues within games, and hopefully some of these solutions will get Minecraft IOS running smoothly again. These problems to fix might include freezing, crashing or the game just not loading.

Many issues could arise, and it can be challenging to troubleshoot them. With the various problems, are a number of solutions which can be viewed below.

Fix #1
The first thing you should do if you’re having problems is to check out Mojang on Twitter or other support areas to see if there’s a server or general known issue about the game. Sometimes it’s out of your control to get the game running well.

Fix #2
Check for an update, if you don’t have auto-updates on make sure you have the latest version of the game running. To build on that, make sure you’re on the latest IOS operating system update.

Fix #3
Check to make sure your device is still supported, if you have an older phone or tablet if may no longer be supported by the game.

Fix #4
Close the game, and try to run it again. Sometimes it was still running causing it to freeze up so closing the app and running it again might be an option.

Fix #5
Close Minecraft, go to the Xbox app on the device and sign out of the app. Sign back into Xbox live in the Xbox app and launch Minecraft again to try and sign in.

Fix #6
Turn your device on and off, sometimes this fixes issues. This can be done from your device’s settings. Remember to just turn it off, then hold the button combination with your particular model to turn it back on and see if it runs the game.

Fix #7
Delete and reinstall Minecraft, now before you do this make sure you back up your worlds and use this as a last ditch effort. To back-up on IOS go to “Files->On my device->Minecraft->games->com.mojang->copy the MinecraftWorlds folder and put it somewhere like the downloads area”.

Fix #8
Wait for an update, sometimes a bad update gets sense out and it’s best to just wait and see if it gets fixed later on.
