Minecraft PE 1.18.31

Download Minecraft 1.18.31 APK for Android and patch the crashes and mobile glitches from the previous release.

This hotfix also opens an early Spectator Mode toggle for testing.

What Minecraft 1.18.31 fixes and adds

• Early Spectator Mode on an experimental toggle
• A fix for worlds that would not open after the previous update
• Several gameplay crash fixes and a Furnace XP exploit patch
• Sharper distant-block textures and steadier framerate on Android
• Correct flowing water and lava on iOS
• Marketplace fixes on Nintendo Switch and no more infinite purchase loading

Spectator Mode joins the experiments menu

Spectator Mode lets Minecraft PE players drift through the world and pass straight through blocks.

It is switched on as an experimental toggle, so this build treats it as a rough early test.

Mobile performance and visual fixes

Android and iOS display

Distant blocks no longer look grainy or warped on Android phones.

Flowing water and lava now render correctly on iOS.

Framerate on weaker phones

Several framerate hitches that hit less powerful devices are gone.

A chunk save and reload bug that caused stutter and instability is fixed too.

Stability and world loading

Crashes and the world open fix

Worlds that refused to open after the Minecraft 1.18.30 update now load again.

Several gameplay crashes are cleared, and teleporting entities into unloaded chunks no longer deletes them.

Gameplay and exploit patches

A Furnace exploit that handed out free XP is closed.

Mobs can no longer spawn on Buttons, and the black screen on reloading RTX worlds is fixed.

Marketplace and achievements

Marketplace now opens properly on Nintendo Switch and no longer sticks on an infinite purchase screen.

The Sound of Music achievement finally unlocks when you meet its requirements.

Get the patch on your phone

You can download Minecraft 1.18.31 APK straight to your Android device.

The fixes land across MCPE on phones, tablets, and Xbox, so everyone shares the same stable build.
