How to Enable Pause in Minecraft?

With the release of Minecraft 1.21.60.21, the long-awaited ability to pause single-player worlds has been introduced. In this guide, we’ll explain how to use the new feature on mobile devices and other Bedrock Edition platforms.

How does the pause feature work?

• The pause function now not only opens the menu but completely halts gameplay. Mobs stop moving, redstone mechanisms cease operation, and the game freezes until you return.

Where to enable or disable the pause option?

• A new option, "Enable Game Pause," has been added in the "General" settings section. It is enabled by default, but you can disable or re-enable it as needed.
