How can I transfer my saved minecraft data on switch to my microsoft account?

Hello, Rebecca!

I understand you want to transfer your saved data from one account to another. But regrettably, this is not possible if you do not have access to the main account or the old account that has the saved data.

Thank you!

Thanks for the information.

I actually found a thread on Nintendo Support related to your issue:

1. Go to your system settings on your switch
2. Go to data management tab
3. Go to manage save data/screenshots and Videos
4, Go to Delete save data
5. Delete the Minecraft (NOT NINTENDO SWITCH EDITION) save data for YOUR login.

Try this and let me know how it goes

Kind regards

Try deleting the game save for minecraft on your switch and starting again inputing the correct microsoft account

To delete the game data

HOME Menu, select "System Settings

Scroll down and select "Data Management" > "Manage Save Data/Screenshots" > "Delete Save Data."

Select Minecraft

Select your switch user name

This will delete all saved data for the game on your switch and will not be recoverable so make sure that is want you want to do.

I have a problem with my minecraft. I want to transfer all of my minecraft stuff, Minecraft Java, bedrock and minecraft dungeon. I know that xbox accounts hold that minecraft stuff so I looked up how to transfer xbox accounts to other Microsoft accounts but they said its impossible. So now I just want to transfer the MC stuff to another XBOX LIVE ACCOUNT. You guys say the same thing. "You can't transfer xbox accounts to other Microsoft accounts because it's impossible, xbox accounts and Microsoft accounts aren't the same thing." But you created Xbox and Microsoft. So make it possible. The reason why I need to switch Minecraft data is because my dad put parental controls on my Microsoft account. So if Microsoft puts parental controls on minecraft then I'm doomed. So please, I NEED to do this. Don't you dare tell me what everyone tells me. I rather fix this problem before it becomes a bigger problem when I'm older.

Nothing has ever been transferable between accounts and i dont see that ever changing. There are reasons it is like this. Fraud being one reason.

I made a Microsoft account and went to the website thing and used the code. It said that i was good to go but when i went onto Minecraft and clicked "sign into a Microsoft account" It loads for a bit and then comes up with a "Failed to Login" and says something
went wrong.

I've looked up videos and changed my password and nothing has worked so far, does anyone know how to fix this or why its happening?

I had the same problem but FIXED IT. I reset the password several times, contacted Microsoft support, PS4 support, reinstalled the game, everything. My boyfriend logged into my Microsoft account on his Xbox, so I knew that it wasn't the account. Playstation
is also notorious for having problems cross-platform, so I figured at this point, it had to be a problem with the data transfer or verification between Mojang and Playstation.

1) I SAVED MY WORLDS TO PS4 ONLINE STORAGE: On Home PS4 screen, toggle to Minecraft app and press "options" button on your controller. Choose "Upload/Download Saved Data. "Select and upload" your worlds and save to Online Storage (requires Playstation Plus
subscription)

2) I TURNED OFF AUTOMATIC UPLOAD SAVED DATA: Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Auto-Upload > Uncheck

3) I DELETED THE SAVED DATA FOR MINECRAFT: Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage > Delete > Checked Minecraft and deleted

4) I RESET THE PS4 AND RESTARTED MINECRAFT: It will reset the Minecraft app completely from start. You will need to chose if you want voice service and re-link your Microsoft account to Minecraft. Your data will be completely gone, but your Microsoft account
and your PSN will re-sync perfectly.

5) I DOWNLOADED MY SAVED WORLDS FROM PS4 ONLINE STORAGE: On Home PS4 screen, toggle to Minecraft app and press "options" on your controller. Choose "Upload/Download Saved Data". "Select and Download" your worlds.

Everything should be back on your Minecraft account with a working sign-in! Hope this helps!!
