I am also experiencing the same problem but with a few other things as well. Not only are my controls not showing but the world is absent too, it all blue (the sky) and I cannot exit or see my profile. I have had to uninstall and reinstall it each time I wanted to play. My character will not load either, can you please help me? 

Comment by Cookie [ 14/May/21 ]

Yea this glitch sucks and i hope they fix it sometime soon cuz i was playing a bedwars server and i turned around to face one of the main islands it did that and i had to close the application to get back in.

Comment by Emin Kılınç [ 22/Jul/20 ]

I absolutely had same issues one post above me. This bug made me delete the game. Plase fix that. 

Comment by Maria Mazulyte [ 20/Jul/20 ]

i’m having the same issue right now. the game has been working fine for a while until now. i’ll enter my world and move a few blocks until my gui disappears and i can’t leave. i deleted the app and reinstalled it but nothing helped

Bug reappearing on Latest Version of MCBE (1.16.x), especially on the servers that are running on Pure Bedrock Server

Comment by Steannie Sawyer [ 06/May/20 ]

I am having this exact same issue as of May 6, 2020. My hud, entities, chests, even the pause menu, gui, all of it becomes invisible when I'm near large bases or farms. It only happens near these areas where there may be a lot of blocks placed. If I leave the chunks after the bug and close it down, when I relog in the game my hud will be back, however, as soon as I hit the chunk with my base or farms, the hud will crash on the spot and not return until I leave the area and reboot all over again. This happens in realms and offline solo worlds too, as it just crashed for me on a realm will I was in the middle of placing hundreds of fence gates for a guardian farm. I've spent days worth of hours placing sand blocks and spomgeing water only for me to be able to co tinge working on this base now, because of this bug! It's extremely frustrating. Even my three year old solo world is unplayable now too. I suspect it is a bug caused in rendering, since nearly every block in the game has edge glitches, like glass and the concretes, the worst culprits, and that this causes the hud to disappear as an attempt to save frames. Whatever it is, please fix this in an update! This issue only started at 1.14.30, so it's something that you guys have patched in.

Whenever me and my friends have on our "custom" skins it makes it so that everyone has the same skin.

Comment by Collin Carlson [ 11/Mar/20 ]

This happened to me. On a realm, my friend has a bunch of piston doors and two sorting systems, one gigantic one. Any fixes? I think it is the same...

This issue is being submitted for temporary closure as "awaiting response".

However please note, commenting on this issue will re-open it. If this is still an issue for you and you are able to replicate it reliably on 1.14.30 please let us know.

Comment by Oval [ 24/Jan/20 ]

Is this still an issue in the latest release or latest beta? If so, please update the issue or comment.

Comment by William Currier [ 31/Jul/19 ]

It's still happening on Kindle Fire while playing on a Local Server.

Comment by Ed Schaller [ 20/May/19 ]

Still happening on kindle fires. Server is on iphone which doesn't have issues but the fires connected "loose their buttons" around areas with decently complex devices including sorters and mine cart collection systems. Chests and other containers have rendering issues or disappear with the buttons. Its 100% reproducible on the world my kids and I play on in three different locations.

Comment by Deeny [ 05/May/19 ]

Yes, I can confirm it still happens in the latest version, I reproduced the glitch earlier today on a realm. I also have a theory on what causes it. A few months ago I said I thought it was caused by blocks that connect to each other. Further thinking about it (and experiencing the issue many times again) I am convinced it's caused by blocks with complicated block models. Fences, chorus, fence gates, walls, hoppers and some others. In large quantities they make this issue happen every time you load a certain area. The glitch also strikes randomly once in a long time (for me it was like 4 times during the years it's around) and it can be caused by massive amounts of particles (for example if you put like 2000 torches in the area of view).

Comment by [MCPE Mod] Celesian [ 04/May/19 ]

Does this still affect the latest version? If so, please reply.

Comment by Deeny [ 31/Mar/18 ]

Happened to me several times on different realms. It is probably caused by huge amounts of blocks that connect to one another - fences and chorus plants. It always happens in a certain area where there is a lot of these blocks. I have been experiencing this bug since 0.15 and it's still here in 1.2.11.

Comment by Sean Tooze [ 10/Mar/18 ]

happened to me in 1.2.11 randomly

Comment by Mekaill murtaza [ 05/Mar/18 ]

this happens to me in 1.2 when I exit a command blocks + interface quickly or sometimes when I exit the chat.

Comment by Alison [ 29/Dec/17 ]

This is happening to me also, I can’t play the game. Is there any news on how to fix this issue?

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 17/Aug/17 ]

Found a way to reproduce this issue in 1.2:

  • Connect as a client to a LAN game using Galaxy Tab a6 SMT280
  • Use fireworks that have Large Ball with Trail (see issue MCPE-23769 with test world)

The GUI disappears, and the game had to be force restarted.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 26/Apr/17 ]

Just had this occur again on 1.1.0.8on the usual Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 SMT280 on Android 5.1.1 connected as a client.

Having defeated the wither, there was tremendous lag as a result of all the dropped block items, and the the gui disappeared.

Comment by Thomas Sexton [ 23/Feb/17 ]

This has happened for me as well. And, I do believe I was trying to re-edit a sign. Although, I was able to finally bring up the menu by pressing the home button and bringing the game back up using the recent apps feature. The interface was still missing, but I was able to save and quit. Once I reloaded the world, my interface came back.

I am currently running vers. 1.0.3
And I am using the Galaxy Note 2

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 22/Feb/17 ]

Affects 1.0.3

Attached test world. GUI disappeared for the client when the TNT exploded (host unaffected).

Host: Windows 10 PC (1.0.3)
Lan Client: Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 SMT280 (1.0.3)

Comment by Tamzin Wheatley [ 04/Jan/17 ]

Happening today on my daughter's Kindle when she enters a LAN world. Only happening on this one world.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 30/Dec/16 ]

Reportedly happens fairly reliably when editing a sign's text for a long time, especially when playing over XBL.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 24/Dec/16 ]

Still an issue for Samsung Galaxy Tab A SMT280 in version 1.0.0

Seems to happen over multiplayer on certain worlds/areas.

Comment by Arvin Josef B. Lacdao [ 05/Dec/16 ]

I'd like to add that this bug also somehow affects a certain chunk and a certain block/xyz coordinate.

Kindly refer to MCPE-18957 for a reference as it's too detailed and too long to repost here.

I've also found out that when I try to place any block, in my case a jack o' lantern/torch and a nether brick in the same chunk and within 24-32 blocks of where i got bugged, the GUI disappears. But after removing the blocks and going to my phone's home screen and getting back to the mcpe app running in the background the GUI reappears.

It doesn't seem to affect other chunks, I think in this instance either my map got corrupted because it saved the data values/script with the bug, or there's a persistent bug that keeps recurring when placing certain blocks within that area.

So for now... so much for infinite world MCPE. XD I can't work on my base and have to work on other chunks elsewhere, hoping it doesn't crash too. LOL

My device is a Lenovo A536

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 27/Oct/16 ]

Added 0.16.0 as this still happens on our samsung devices (Samsung Galaxy Tab A a6 SMT280)
