I lost my progress on Minecraft after the "saving world" screen froze and I had to reset...

Hi Sadie,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues with one of your worlds in Minecraft due to possible data corruption when the game was not saved properly.

Minecraft occasionally encounters an issue that can corrupt the save data of a world save. When this happens, the chunks in the game can be reset to how they were when the world was generated, or they can disappear completely. Many factors can cause corruption and, in some cases, can prevent the world from being opened at all. However, not all hope is lost if a world save is corrupted.

The process to fix a corrupt world can be a bit challenging and is not guaranteed to fix the world every time. Making frequent backups of your world will always be the best and safest way to make sure you can recover from a corrupt save file.

This method works if your world is saved in the cloud before it got corrupted on your local storage.

1. Please go to network settings and go offline.

2. Settings > All Settings > System > Storage > Manage Storage > view contents >select Minecraft (button with 3 lines) > manage game > saved data > delete from console. (Please make sure that your worlds are saved online before doing this)

3. Hold the Xbox button for 10 seconds to shut it down.

4. Wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on.

5. Go back online in settings.

6. Launch Minecraft.

7. Go to world 1, click A to sync, then click B to go back to your world menu. Go through and sync all worlds. Please do not load them yet, just sync them for now.

8. Once all worlds are synced, quit Minecraft (home button, button with 3 lines, quit.

9. Restart Minecraft.

I want to make sure that you will get all the assistance that you need. If the method that I shared did not work on your situation, I recommend that you submit a ticket directly to Minecraft support so you can be guided by Minecraft specialists.

In this way, we can be assured that your case will be logged, attended and monitored in a timely manner. Please use this link:

reseting while keeping my games will reset while keeping the game icons, that is obvious but will my game progress be reset, for example I play Minecraft survival, will that world disappear, after the reset, or is it saved in a server somewhere?

I just had the same problem where i was playing and paused the game to save, but randomly it froze so i tried restarting the game and it faded into a pure black screen which wouldn't load or anything i was in the middle of my nuka world DLC when it happened.
I was afraid i'd lose 60 hours of game progress like i did when i lost 7 days worth of game progress before due to a game crash because of an enormous amount of items i collected into a storage container. Surprisingly after taking out the disc and wiping off
a few smudges with some tissue, i put the game back in and it lagged a little bit but it went straight to the power armor loading screen allowing me to continue my progress.

My world synced Every time I saved it, what is the point in playing the game if all progress can just be lost!!! It's a complete waste of time, they can't tell me how the world got corrupted which means it's absolutely pointless playing Minecraft as at any
point the world can disappear

If your saves were not on the HD, I am afraid your only choice is to find the usb or start over. I realize how hard it is to loose your minecraft saves. My 360 burped one day and deleted every saved game I had, and both profiles as well. There was a lot
of hours lost on minecraft saves being gone, but I have had a lot of fun setting up my new world. Just remember what you had done, and design it into a new world.
