Experimental Minecraft worlds same account different devices

Hello slyryx,

Welcome to the Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

As per Minecraft Support: It can be difficult to transfer game files from one device to another. However, there are two methods that can help you transfer your worlds. You can transfer worlds between these devices using a Minecraft Realm or, if you play on an iOS device, through the iCloud method.

Transfer Your World Using a Realm

You must have an active Minecraft Realm to do this. If you have not yet used your Realms free trial, you can use that to transfer your worlds. For more information about Minecraft Realms and how to start a Realm, go to the Realms Plus page.

Note: You must use the same edition of Minecraft and the same Xbox Live account to transfer worlds.

1. From the first device, click the pen icon next to your Realm from the Realms list
   
2. Click Replace World and confirm.
   
3. Choose the world you want to transfer.
   
4. Wait for the upload and then click Let's go!
   
5. Open Minecraft from the second device and click the pen icon next to your Realm from the Realms
   
6. Click Download World.
   
7. Wait for the download and then click Let's go!
   

Your world should now be transferred from one device to another. If you want to transfer another world, repeat the same process.

Transfer Your World Using the iCloud Method (iOS Devices Only)

See the steps below for the Apple iPad:

1. Open the Files app on the old iPad.
   
2. Under Browse, tap On My iPad.
   
3. Tap Minecraft.
   
4. Tap the Games folder.
   
5. Tap the com.mojang folder.
   
6. Locate the file named minecraftWorlds. This has all your worlds in it.
   
7. Press and hold to open the menu.
   
8. Tap Save to Files.
   
9. Locate your iCloud drive and save the world file to the iCloud Drive folders where you want to store it.
   
10. Click Save.
    

The worlds are now saved to your iCloud.

Hello slyryx,

I would be more beneficial if we reach out to Minecraft Support with this case.

Hi CarTzy

I previously said that using realms does not work as I have already attempted putting my world onto my realm but it does not work as it is experimental world. Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi Golden

Unfortunately, no unless you download the world to a realm so you can access it on your other devices.

Hi Clueless Minecraft fan’s mom,

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community. We appreciate for sharing your concern to us. Allow me to ask some questions.

• All of your account information, including your games and game progress/saves, should be retrieved if you sign in using the exact same Microsoft account. When you start the game, it should instantly sync it to your new device. Did you use the same account that you used to log in on your previous device?
  
• You mentioned about reset; did you back up your device to iCloud before resetting it? If so, you might be able to restore your Minecraft worlds from the backup. If not, you might have lost your Minecraft worlds unless you have them saved on another device or a Minecraft Realm.
  

Syncing Minecraft worlds between iOS devices with various Apple IDs can be done in a number of different ways. To move the minecraftWorlds folder from your old device to your new one, one method is to use iCloud. Another method is to download your world from your previous device and upload it using a Minecraft Realm.

I hope to hear back from you.

Kind regards,

Lavenia
