Apple TV Edition is broken, and older iOS games were broken

When will the Minecraft Apple TV Edition be updated? It's been months of broken functionality, waiting for the update to make Realms work with the Apple TV. And LAN games aren't functional either, it just disconnects.

Since the Bedrock update on the iPad and iPhone, we've lost all inventory, and the player starts at the spawn point. It seems to have broken older games created before the update. Some of these games had alot of time invested in them, and now they seem to
be broken!

The new updates have lots of paid stuff in them that works, but annoying bugs on the iOS versions that have broken older games, and made playing between Apple TV and iOS not possible. We paid $20 for the Apple TV version, and the monthly charge for Realms,
but can't play between these devices anymore. Better Together?

Plus a couple of other issues. I have a Child account for my son for playing Minecraft. Since the update the child account seems to have all privleges of an adult. What if I don't want him playing online multiplayer games with strangers? There's no way to
turn that off.

And the Mac version of Minecraft is stranded in the 'Java Edition'.

Are they just holding back or intentionally breaking the Apple and Mac versions of Minecraft to steer everyone towards Windows 10 versions and XBOX?

Anyway, we're here with Macs and IOS, and want to be able to play like everyone else!

Trouble connecting Minecraft Apple TV edition to iOS PE.

Hi there

I have a household of Minecraft addicts. We have Minecraft on Apple TV edition, iOS Pocket edition and via a Mac Mini.

I can connect two instances of iOS PE together via the LAN games options but I can’t connect the Apple TV edition to anything nor can I connect the Mac Mini version to anything.

All devices are on the same WiFi. All devices are open to LAN multiplayer. I’ve restarted devices and routers but nothing seems to work.

About 6 months ago the Apple TV edition DID connect to iOS PE and many hours were spent collaborating in one world but something has since changed. We now have a large world that has had many hours of construction, isolated on our Apple TV edition, inaccessible
to everyone else.

I’ve tried all solutions i’ve found on various forums but I can’t seem to get the Apple TV edition to talk to anything anymore. The different devices can see each other as they pop up on each other’s LAN games. When I try and connect I get the error message
“disconnected from server”. Each device is logged in with a separate Xbox account.

Can anyone help?

 

Any idea on Apple TV Edition Better Together Update will come out?

It's kind of upsetting that you can buy this game, yet for months it's had broken functionality. Can't connect with others on the same network, and can't connect to Realms (which we pay for, but why bother if Microsoft won't update for the Apple TV?). I
bought a controller especially to play with Minecraft on the Apple TV, and it doesn't work.

PLEASE UPDATE the Apple TV edition, Microsoft!

 

agree! All the advertisements made it sound like Apple TV would work flawlessly with other iOS devices in realms so I subscribed only to watch it fail to load.

 

I'm having similar issues. We can play it - but cannot connect to other iOs versions, or play on Realms. Also - many of the worlds, maps, etc I've purchased are requesting that I purchase them again.



Recently - all I get when I try to join a LAN game from the Apple TV to one hosted on my sons' iPads is the "disconnected from server" notice. They also get that notice when they try to join a game on the Apple TV. I've updated all the Minecraft PE on the
various devices. I've also deleted and reinstalled MC on the Apple TV. Same problem.



Any ideas? Fixes?



Thanks...

 

I agree, can we get an update for this. I have like many others bought both the apple tv and the controller solely for this game. It worked well in the beginning but has since then stopped working, we cant login to he xbox account or play LAN games together.
