Can a world in Minecraft that is created in the Xbox Insider version of Minecraft be...

I am sorry but it is not possible to play a world created on xbox one version of Minecraft on the xbox 360 version

Your son is playing on the official release channel for Minecraft. His 1.12 version is currently the latest official version, whereas his friends have joined the Insider Program and are playing a beta test version of Minecraft.

His friends can either un-enroll from the Beta Insider Program, or you son can try to join the Insider Program and update his Minecraft to a beta version.

Be aware however, that beta version still contain untested parts, and the game can crash, malfunction and in turn destroy worlds if an error occurs.

If your son is still willing to test the Beta, he can download the free Insider app from the store, and join the Minecraft Beta.

Then he'll have to download/update his Minecraft to the newer beta version.

Is it possible that one of you or your friends has joined the Minecraft Beta Insider program?

If so, you probably have different versions of the game, and only players with the same Minecraft version can join each other's worlds.

Check that you all have either the official Minecraft version of 1.11.4. If one (or more) have the current Beta version of 1.13.something, then you can't join each other's worlds.

Together with Mojang support I found out the problem why I do not manage to import my saved worlds on my Xbox One X in the online purchased version of Minecraft.

The Minecraft Xbox One version that you can buy online in the Microsoft store is a different version than the Minecraft Xbox One version you buy in the store (DVD). The online version is the so-called Minecraft (bedrock code base on xbox one) version.

To import the saved worlds, you first need to export the worlds on the Xbox 360 Minecraft version, import them into the Minecraft Xbox One Edtion import and then import old worlds into the Minecraft bedrock codebase version. (Minecraft Xbox 360 -> Minecraft
Xbox One Edtion -> Minecraft Xbox bedrock codebase).

You end up with a version that you do not use, but you can then sell it via e-bay to fellow gamers who have the same problem.

So it is possible and fortunately not as Microsoft indicated earlier that the worlds would be lost.

Hey xMrReaper

Thank you so much for keeping us updated on this matter as much as you have.

If you are seeing small text at the top of your screen when you are playing Minecraft, then yes you are on the beta.

Take in mind that if you revert back to the most up-to-date version of Minecraft that is not in the beta state, you will lose access to any worlds you have created until the version of Minecraft you are playing get to that new version.

Your friends can join you on the beta version, but be sure to take into account that if they do start using the beta, they will be unable to open up any of worlds that they have played on in this version, on the regular version of Minecraft as well.

If you want your friends to hop on with you on the beta you will have to use these steps:

Joining the Minecraft Beta on Windows 10 or Xbox One:

1. Go to the Store app on Xbox One or a Windows 10 PC.

2. Search for the Xbox Insider Hub app.

3. Download and install Xbox Insider Hub.

4. Launch the Xbox Insider Hub.

5. Navigate to Insider content > Minecraft Beta.

6. Select Join

Note You will need to own the digital version of the game. For the beta, disc owners are not supported.

• You will not have access to Realms and will not be able to join non-beta players while you're previewing the beta
• Beta builds will likely be unstable and are not representative of final version quality. Please backup your Worlds before joining the beta
• Finished releases may not include all changes and fixes from the beta to preserve stability and may slip to a later release

[*]If you wish to unenroll from the beta version you can follow these steps:

1. Be sure to backup your worlds first!
2. Open the Xbox Insider Hub app and unenroll from the beta.
3. Uninstall Minecraft.
4. Reinstall Minecraft from Microsoft Store app.
