Minecraft 1.16 freezes and won't load - java

I had tried that already, and it didn't work.

Hi, I think what you should do is to reinstall the game, the same happened to me, the game took too long to start at the beginning but at the end everything was fine

XBF Steven R: Uninstalling Minecraft, doing a soft reset, and reinstalling the game solved the problem. Thanks!

Hey there bwise.157,

Thanks for reaching out to the Forums for advice on how to deal with this issue. I can totally understand how this could be pretty discouraging for you and your children. Seeing as just uninstalling and reinstalling the game did not do trick, I recommend
uninstalling the game, doing a
soft factory reset (the kind denoted Reset and keep my games & apps), and then attempting a reinstall.

When you get the chance, give that a shot and let us know if that helped.

Thanks for reading!

Try this:

Copy your save file of the world that won't load to another source, (USB, cloud, etc). Delete the original save file, and remove Minecraft from your console. Clear your console's cache. Redownload, and reinstall Minecraft. Copy the save file back to your
console. Now try loading the save file.

If it still freezes, that particular save file may be corrupted. Try creating a new game or loading a different save file. Is the freezing limited to just one save, or does it freeze on all saves?
