Solving the Minecraft PE 0.17.0 / 0.16.0 crash problem!

Greetings, dear friends! This guide has been crafted specifically for those encountering issues after upgrading to the latest version of the game, namely Minecraft PE 0.16.0 / Minecraft PE 0.17.0. This troubleshooting instruction will be beneficial for both seasoned players of Minecraft Pocket Edition and newcomers alike.

— What causes errors when launching MCPE?

If you previously had MCPE installed and then upgraded to a new version, you might experience launch errors. These issues arise due to changes in the program code. Some game files may not overwrite correctly, while others fail to delete, leading to crashes during gameplay.

— How can you resolve this issue?

You should remove the “games” folder from your device’s root directory or the “com.mojang” folder within the “games” directory—whichever is more convenient for you. However, it is advisable to temporarily back up the “MinecraftWorlds” folder elsewhere to preserve your worlds. Once you’ve deleted all game files, including the “games”/“com.mojang” folders, you can proceed to run the installation file for Minecraft Pocket Edition.

After reinstalling the game, fresh files will be created based on the new version. Following the installation, you can confidently enter the game and enjoy the latest features!

Additionally, if you’re using an older version of Android, make sure to download the appropriate game versions via the corresponding links for lower Android versions.
