How do I sync up Minecraft worlds when I move to new iPad with new Apple ID?

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

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with Minecraft world.

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

Please be guided that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

To set your expectations properly, if something goes with the network and the device, the save data might not sync correctly, and an empty or corrupted file could be written in its place. If the cloud save was already overwritten by the new/empty or corrupted file, there is no way to recover your previous progress since it was not properly saved to the cloud after gameplay.

Kindly check for a Backup. To do this, open Files app on your iPad.

Navigate to On My iPad > Minecraft > games > com.mojang > minecraftWorlds.

See if any folders there contain your missing world (have a long string of letters/numbers as names).

If you have a backup, move it back into the correct minecraftWorlds folder.

And then look for a ‘Lost’ World Folder because Minecraft creates duplicate world folders. Check if there are other world folders inside minecraftWorlds that might contain your missing progress.

Next is to check iCloud sync by going Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage to see if Minecraft is listed.

If it was recently synced, you can restore it.

Then check for corrupt World files. If the world still appears in your Minecraft menu but is empty, the save file might be corrupt.

To give you a heads up, there’s no built-in way to recover corrupt files, but restarting the device and opening the game again can help.

Thank you for your cooperation.
