If you’re anything like us, then you’ve probably experienced a fair share of Minecraft Pocket Edition crashes. While it might be slightly frustrating when your game unexpectedly closes, there’s a lot you can learn from these. After all, every game has bugs here and there — the important thing is how quickly you react to them. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait long for updates this time around. As it turns out, Mojang is already hard at work on the next update for their mobile title. In fact, they even released an early build of the software yesterday — so that leaves us with just one question: what could they possibly have planned? Luckily we don’t need to wait much longer to find out either; and if the developer changelog is anything to go by, then we should see some big changes soon. Here’s how to fix Minecraft PE crashes once and for all…
Check For Updates Before Playing
You don’t need to know the ins-and-outs of what the next update will bring, but you should definitely check for any new version updates on your device. Sometimes a new build can cause a bug to manifest itself, and it’s important to be on the lookout for these. Of course, you can’t do this if your game is crashing — so make sure to check for new updates as soon as possible. If your game is crashing regularly, it may be due to an old version of Minecraft. You should check your game’s version and make sure it’s up-to-date. If you can’t find an update, try deleting the Java Applet cache on your device. This clears out any old files, and it should make it easier for you to find new updates.
Make Sure You’re Up To Date
Whether you’re looking for an update to your game or not, it’s important to make sure you’re up-to-date. If you have an out-of-date version of Minecraft, then you could end up with the same problems we’re experiencing right now. The most important thing to remember here is that you should only be using the most recent version of Minecraft on your device. This is because Mojang is constantly updating their software, and it’s always a good idea to stay up-to-date. You can check for an update on any device. Just go to your game’s settings and make sure you’re on the “Update” tab. On Android devices, you can also get updates through the Google Play Store.
Delete The Java Applet Cache
When your game crashes and you attempt to open it again, one of the first things you’ll want to do is open up your settings. However, if your game is still crashing, you’ll probably find it a little difficult to access. But don’t worry, because we have a solution for this. The first thing you need to do is reset your device to its default settings. This will delete any third-party software you have installed on your device, which will make it a little easier to access the settings menu. Now that you’re back in the game, your next step should be to delete the Java Applet cache. If you’re not sure where this is, most devices have an option to turn this on or off. Delete the cache, reboot your device, and then try opening up your game again — you should see a significant difference.
Try Rebooting Your Device
There are a few things you can do to reboot your device if it’s constantly crashing on you. However, you should only do this as a last resort. First things first, you’ll want to make sure you’re on the latest build. While we mentioned that earlier, we know it’s easy to get behind. Make sure to check your game’s version and make sure it’s the most recent one possible. Secondly, you want to make sure your device is charged to 100%. This isn’t the most important thing, but it could help. Now that you’ve taken care of those issues, try rebooting your device. It could be a permissions issue caused by new software; and even if it’s not, rebooting can sometimes be enough to fix a crashing issue. Just make sure you’re not doing anything important before rebooting your device. You don’t want to end up needing to reboot completely because of this.
