Allow Minecraft Mobile Data

Open up the Minecraft app. After signing in with your Microsoft account, navigate to your in-game settings. In the General section of your settings, enable the Allow mobile data for online play option. This will be disabled by default.

Minecraft PE Settings > General > Allow mobile data

Sign Out & Into Microsoft Account

Next, select Sign out of your Microsoft Account in the Account section. This will take a moment to sign you out of your account. You should then completely exit the application before reopening it again.

Minecraft PE Settings > Account > Sign Out

Disable VPN Connection

If the sign-in problem persists, then this problem is related to your Microsoft account or network connection. For iOS devices, close Minecraft and open up your system settings. In the General section, tap on VPN & Device Management. Ensure that your VPN is currently not connected, as this can prevent a reliable network connection and cause the connection error you are getting.

System Settings > General > VPN & Device Management

Test & Improve Network Connection

Proceed to switch your connection from cellular to WiFi or vice versa and test your download and upload speed by using a speed testing site or application such as Speedtest.

Update Minecraft Pocket Edition

Lastly, ensure you’re using your device's up-to-date version of Minecraft Pocket Edition. Open up your Google Play or App Store and look up Minecraft. Install the latest update in case there is one available to you.

Sign Into Minecraft Account

Lastly, re-open the Minecraft app, tap on Sign In, and proceed to sign back into your Microsoft account. This will fix the “unable to connect to world” error you are getting when playing Minecraft Pocket Edition on your mobile device.
