how do i get my minecraft back

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to play Minecraft however you are asked to buy it again.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Kindly verify your game purchase to your account by checking your Order history here: https://account.microsoft.com > Order history.

Once you see the game there you should have the option to install the game.

It is the games license that'll enable you to install and then play the game.

To install the game once the license is verified, go to Store> Search for "Minecraft" and you should have the option to "Install"

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for your consideration but I tried to contact the Xbox support and I can't find a good way to describe the problem. I also tried to contact the virtual agent but it cannot deal with the problem that I have.

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently attempting to recover a World that you lost in Minecraft.

On the Xbox One, if you are connected to Xbox Live [the internet] your save data automatically syncs to the

cloud storage. You save data syncs every time that you close out the game and whenever you launch it.

What I would recommend would be to
remove your profile and then re-add it back to your console as this will force your save data to sync once more.

Keep in mind that there is a possibility that your World would be lost and at that instance you would have to start once more.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your response.

But will deleting my profile from the console still keep my saved data from my other games?

I would but I have no idea what Microsoft account he linked it to, so all I really know is the old minecraft.net account information like the email, username, and password.

Hey there ChaseTodd,

Thanks for reaching out to the Forums for info on what happens when you delete/ remove your profile. I can totally see how the thought of having your progress lost could be distressing. When you are connected, the console saves all your progress to your
gamertag on the Cloud. As long as you're able to redownload your profile with your sign-in information you should be able to pick up right where you left off.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for reading!
