iPad mini 2 settings for local MCPE (0.12.1) server

iPad mini 2 settings for local MCPE (0.12.1) server - Person Holding Pen Pointing at White Ipad

My son and I have a problem creating and joining a local MCPE (0.12.1) server with his new iPad mini 2 (iOS 8.4.1 (12H321)). I know this might be a tough one to "break" - Cause there's A LOT of settings to poke around with on the iPad.

I have an old iPad 1 (OS 5.1.1 (9B206)) and a Samsung Galaxy Tab (don't know which one) both tablets have MCPE 0.12.1 installed. These two tabs have no problem creating/hosting/joining a local server - But the Mini can't see or join a server created with the above tablets. But! sometimes we're able to get it to show and join/host a server right after it has been rebooted - But after a minute or two it disconnects.

Wifi signal is very good - "Local Server Multiplayer" is enabled on all tablets - We're also using the correct IP's/ports.

Therefore I think it has to do with some of the settings on the Mini.

So the question is: Which settings is NEEDED AS A MINIMUM to be enabled/disabled on the Mini to be able to host/join a local MCPE (0.12.1) server??

How do you make a Minecraft server on IPAD?

Connect to your server.
  • Open Minecraft PE.
  • Tap Play.
  • Tap the Servers tab.
  • Tap Add Server.
  • Enter a name for the server in the "Server Name" text box.
  • Enter your server's address in the "Server Address" text box.
  • Enter your server's port number in the "Port" text box.
  • Tap Play.


  • How do I check if local server multiplayer is enabled in options?

    You first need to open Minecraft on both devices, turn off multiplayer game in options, open a world, then leave that world again, and turn on multiplayer game in options. This should hopefully reset multiplayer broadcasting, so it should work.
