Hi Frederic Horn





Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



Upon reading the description you have posted, it seems that you have an issue with Xbox wherein where you have already tried to launch your Minecraft game but it blocks itself. And just gives you an error code: 0x800705b4.



Let’s work together in finding the best solution to this issue.



For me to better understand the issue, I’d like to ask a few questions:

• When did this issue occurred?

• Have you already tried to uninstall and reinstall your Minecraft app and checked if it has the same behavior?

• Have you already tried the troubleshooting steps provided from this support article link from the Minecraft support website: Minecraft Launcher Troubleshooting FAQ | Minecraft Help? (Note: The provided link is a third party webpage. That is why we suggest that you need to vigilant and do not click on any pop-up notifications on their site. In order for you to protect your own data privacy,

• What other initial troubleshooting steps have you already tried so far?





In the meantime, we would like you to try the steps provided down below:

One possible solution to this issue is to try resetting the Minecraft game files. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type %appdata%\.minecraft and press Enter.

3. Rename the "saves" folder to "saves_backup".

4. Restart your computer.

5. Launch Minecraft and see if the issue has been resolved.

If the issue still persists, it may be best that you also try uninstalling and reinstalling your Minecraft Launcher.

Let me know if this helps,

Thanks for the reply.

I have no online worlds. I cant even try your suggestion of making a world while offline because when im offline it wont let me even open the game. It says i need to make it my home xbox while connected to the internet. Its already my home xbox.

minecraft wont even launch unless im online.

Please let me know how i can fix this. Its very frustrating.

The reset did fix the issues I had. However, it's saying that I need to get a game pass even though I already have one. How do I fix this?

My games with gold don't launch and it tells me to renew my subscription even though I have a subscription active and paid for. Do you have any idea how to fix this?
