 Description   

I've had a bug after a couple years of MCPE...I don't know where it started or how. But I have been unable to create new worlds. Every time I click Create New...It loads, but then it stops and says "New World Can't Be Opened". And the older worlds I made I can't even open... it says, "Couldn't open World"... This also affected my world when I bought the mash up pack with the winter world. I couldn't create the winter world Map since I couldn't even create a new world. I can't even start add-ons or resource packs. I've had this bug for several major updates. Can someone help? Please fix this soon. Yes, I know there are similar bugs but in this one, my game doesn't freeze, it just never opens. I am getting agitated now.

Is there a way to save my files with an app on iPhone? I don't think my parents will let me do that folder thing on a computer...

Have you tried a full reinstall of the game?

Backup any data you don't want to lose, then try the following:

  1. Backup your MinecraftWorlds folder (if you want to save your worlds) (Device storage > games > com.mojang > minecraftWorlds)
  2. Uninstall MCPE
  3. Delete the com.mojang folder (Device storage > games > com.mojang)
  4. Reinstall MCPE
  5. Run MCPE and if it works restore your MinecraftWorlds folder
