How to get my Minecraft 1.20 worlds to save to the cloud

Hello Arthur Dahm,

We appreciate you for bringing this up to Xbox Forum.

It seems like you’re having trouble syncing your Minecraft worlds to the cloud.

Let us check on this together and sort this out to assist your concern. However, before we proceed, we would like to ask few questions about it.

1. Was this working before?
   
2. When did the issue start?
   
3. Recent activity or changes made before the issue appeared?
   
4. Do you mind sending a screenshot of the exact error message, minimizing your personal information?
   

These above questions would help us provide the necessary information. Once we have gathered all the information, we will formulate the viable solution to help you with your case.

Based on this article, Syncing Xbox game saves to the cloud error messages | Xbox Support, this error message “local save successful but cloud sync failed due to quota.

You can free cloud space by deleting words from the settings menu” occurs when your console runs out of space for saved games while synchronizing with the cloud. You should free up space by deleting saves you no longer need. Or you can ignore the error and continue to play without the option to save.

If you’ve already tried deleting multiple large worlds and still get the error, you may want to try deleting the old save on your Xbox console and sign out. Then on the Xbox with the new save, open the game and then exit and save. Wait a couple of minutes as your file is being updated to the cloud. Then sign in on the Xbox where you deleted the file and open Minecraft.

Let us know the result and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We may recommend further troubleshooting steps once we have received your answers to the above questions.



We will be glad to follow up and help you.

Sincerely,

Thanks. But my local save was not corrupted. It is that I did a Xbox factory reset. After that, I did try to re-sync my Minecraft world (500+MB) and the console said "the cloud save is corrupted".

Is it possible that I get the "corrupted" save from your cloud storage and then I can try to repair it? The Minecraft save is so precious to us. Is this possible?

You might be lucky, that the cloud save hasn't been updated with the crashed world yet.

In that case, try the following:

Go to the Minecraft tile in "My Games and Apps", and press the Menu button. Choose to manage the game.

WARNING! The following steps will delete the local save storage! If the other worlds haven't been synced with the cloud, your saves will be gone!!!

So if you are willing to take that step, clear the LOCAL save storage of your Minecraft game.

DO NOT choose to delete the games from all consoles (i.e. the cloud storage)!!!

With the local save gone, start Minecraft.

The console will then try to re-sync the local saves from the cloud.

If that worked, you might have a working world from a previous save.

To prevent such things happening in the future, consider backing up your worlds regularly with these instructions: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360034754912-Backing-up-Minecraft-worlds-

Hello cool dude,

We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns an inability to retrieve a world within Minecraft that was recently removed from your worlds list.

It may be best to visit the official Minecraft forum for
information on how to recover worlds within Minecraft. An option that you may have involves the cloud save for the game, to which you can attempt following our

Xbox One cloud game saves: FAQ.

Try this out for us and then let us know the results.

Best wishes!

Minecraft saves are backed up on both the Cloud and on the console. Unfortunately if you the saved world has already been deleted from the old Xbox, there's no way of getting the worlds back. I suffered it when transferring my Xbox One Edition worlds to
Bedrock edition, unfortunately nothing can be done.
