Can You Pause In Minecraft Legends?

The quick and simple answer is: no, you cannot pause Minecraft Legends. Even if you are playing by your lonesome, you’ll find that the world will keep moving behind the menu screen, so you’ll need to either move very quickly to get your current task done, or save and leave the game.

Since Multiplayer is a large focus of Minecraft Legends, it’s understandable why you wouldn’t be able to pause the game in Multiplayer, but even Solo players will find that they are not able to pause the game to grab a quick drink or use the restroom. You’ll need to ensure that you’re either in a safe spot in the world or bump out of the game for a little while and come back later. If you’ve got some good partners, they may be able to keep you and your base safe while you venture off for an adventure in the real world.

If you find yourself hesitant to try out this new Minecraft formula, make sure that you jump onto Xbox Game Pass as soon as possible, as you’ll find that it will be available to play on release day. We found the game to be a lovely experience that is brimming with personality in our review, but make sure to stock up on sweet treats before jumping into this new world.
