Description

This bug is reproduced by multiple people in the community and registered in the Mojiang bugtracker, but has no movement: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-113355

The bug description:

Just bought Minecraft Bedrock for PC, running on Windows 10 with all latest updates, latest Minecraft version 1.16.201, downloaded latest CodeConnection.

  • Start CodeConnection, start Minecraft, execute "/connect 192.168.1.153:19131" in Minecraft chat, connects ok
  • click any tutorial in CodeConnection (e.g. "Flower Trail"), use MakeCode/Blocks language, put the simple code for tutorial and click Play button (triangle)
  • go to Minecraft and try to use the code from the tutorial
  • it will run for ~30 seconds and then Minecraft crashes and closes silently. Every time, no exclusions. Tutorials that don't continuously execute code (e.g. a 1-time action call) - may work (if they run shorter than ~30sec)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the connection flow through CodeConnection, Minecraft's /connect command, and the Flower Trail tutorial, then read the linked Mojang report MCPE-113355. Compare the behavior of continuously running tutorials with one-time actions; done requires identifying an actionable cause or confirming that the failure is external to PXT.
