Ability to pause single player games (Bedrock)

under review

Not sure why this is still missing. Having to quit every time something else requires attention is very annoying.

    Funny that we still don't have this implemented... this shows how much they read our feedback.

    Hey BuilderJayMC, so if you switch to another app the game doesn't pause!!

    1 time i minimized my game for 4 hours and after that the game glitched out, the sun and the moon started going too fast, all the  mobs whore running and i wasn't able to even exit the world!!

    I agree in the versions java and legacy whit only pushing the pause button the entire game will pause but in bedrock when you push the pause button the game wouldn't pause mojang needs to put this option on bedrock

    January 6th year 2021 Almost three years since the original post and an official response from the team who were supposedly making it a priority and yet no sign of a pause button that actuador pauses the game. All hope lost

    Okay, Mojang. It's been 3 years and we still can't pause the game. Do y'all have any idea how stressful it is being unable to literally never walk away from this game even to pee, because something's going to kill you? I constantly have to quit the world for 2 minute breaks, then come back and wait forever for it to reload all over again, just because Bedrock isn't given the same basic functionality as Java. 

    What gives?

    This is the most basic feature for any game where single player is available. Why on god's earth can't you pause the game

    Well, looks like I am stuck playing Legacy Xbox One Edition forever (or perhaps I should just give up playing altogether) and missing out on all of Bedrock's features and improvements; simply because this VITAL, GAME-BREAKING FUNCTIONALITY is never going to be implemented. If I had payed MONEY for Bedrock Edition, rather than acquiring it via a trial of Game Pass, I would be absolutely pissed!

    You know, this is especially bad since Bedrock is actually Pocket Edition. Like, you can't pause when playing on your phone?? What the actual heck???? What kind of mobile game doesn't let you pause??? This is legit sooooo annoying and it's still not a thing! Like just how?? how???? HOW!?!?!?!?!?!!? Sooo... In the Caves and Cliffs update then? Maybe??? Hopefully???? Like, it's just a pause button!! In a game where it's dangerous to go afk, just let us pause! Heck, to get around this I dig myself into a hole and block it off, but even then that's bad because time still passes, so that means your just burning daylight being idle still. I don't know how you overlook something like that...

    2018 guys, 2018 this was posted. They probably don't care and would rather focus on how they can make more money with their microtransactions.

    You can die because of it and it doesn't even pause if multiplayer is disabled
