My 8 year old son went up in the sky to check out the clouds and now seems to be stuck there and can't get back down to his world (which he has spent a year creating and is so proud of). He has the Minecraft PE (Creative) on his iPad. He is inconsolable and I have no clue how to help him. I'm not even familiar with how the game works. We googled the topic and found some threads about the same problem. One said to walk to the edge and fall back down but we walked quite a ways and never seemed to find the end. We also saw to shut the iPad down and come back in and we would be falling, but again,that didn't work. Please help - things so very sad at our house right now. He is so upset that now his 5 year old sister is also crying because she is so sad for him.
I'll try to help as that happened to me before. I'll look up some tools to help you. Is it iOS or Android though?
EDIT: I'll contact you in the morning.
Hi I'm sorry to here this problem. For in game problem fixing if your son has a piece of redstone dust, four iron ingots and a crafting bench tell him to make a compass and walk were it points he will eventually be redirected to the world.
Otherwise you'll have to download iExplorer and dig through the folders and hack into his world to give him some items.

Thank you - sorry to hear you've experienced it, too. I apologize for my huge lack of knowledge...does the compass building idea work in Creative or would that be for Survival? He's in Creative and there is a compass but it doesn't seem to be of any help.
Since he's in creative mode double tap the jump button to enable flying then tap the jump button and while holding it down slide your finger to the bottom arrow to lower yourself back to the ground,did this help?
Actually, I can go up and go above the clouds and then can come back down but then just stop once the clouds are at head level and can't go further down.
Well you could use a file explorer if his phone is jailbroken or rooted and copy his levels files by going into the app folder, make a new level and copy over the files after your done.
Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions. After trying everything, I went back to the compass idea and finally figured out it did work if I had just known how to use it. So,I kept walking the direction it pointed (for a long, long time...it seemed pointless and I was going to give up but the desperate mother in me couldn't). I walked for well over 30 mins seeing nothing but sky/clouds and then black/stars (a few rotations) and then,all of a sudden, the world was below and I fell back to it. Thank you CampbellPM for the compass idea. It worked and my son is so happy!
Just a follow up on this thread, my son had the same issue, but on a Kindle Fire version of PE. I decided to just try walking in one direction WITHOUT the compass and in about 5 minutes, we fell from the sky and all was well. Don't know if that will work every time, but I just thought I'd share.
In a non-infinite world you can go outside of the invincible bedrock when you fly up very high, and if you fly away to far then you can't find a way back.
You can use a compass to find your way back. It is in the tools section of the inventory (which looks like a sword). Here is what a compass looks like:
Tap on it to put one in your hotbar. Move the camera until the compass point is facing the north position and walk forward until the compass point changes it's position or you find your world.
By the way, a compass always points towards your spawn point.
maybe he got lost at the end of the world if there is a compass in the inventory try to go wherever it points if this does not help maybe it's a glitch

I like CyanogenMod 13 and coding for my phone.. Yep. That's all.

Thanks for the idea as he was not a happy camper!

Hope it helped!
