Choosing the beta world just freezes my game

It may seem unresponsive, but just give it a moment - it's just downloading a new cache for the game and does take a little bit, with less feedback to show that it's actually doing anything that we might like.

Excited to try this out but is there any general interest from the dev team in making a portrait version of mobile? If so, is there a general timeline we could follow for this? Cheers and thank you all for consideration around your mobile player base.

I mean honestly, I absolutely would love to do portrait mode. It'd have to be a separate project to this though and it's a serious amount of work to do it properly. We would want to give proper portrait mode layout to the UI - we couldn't support placing the current UI into portrait in the official build, though I've no issue if players want to force that with Android.

We do recognize that players like to do a lot of low intensity content on mobile that it'd lend to quite well.

Unfortunately it isn't something we're going to do in the immediate future - but I am not ruling it out, we've had conversations about it, we think there is reason to do it, just nothing formally planned yet.

I'm having the same issue. Logging into a mobile beta world will restart the client and load the default world.

Ah, that one's a slightly different issue, but thankfully I have got a solution for you! Just unchecking the default world option should stop you getting caught up in this loop and let you onto the beta world just fine. Sorry for the inconvenience!
