Minecraft suggestions (Xbox One + Xbox 360

The original Xbox Live has been shut down.

The Xbox 360 Live network is still very much alive, thanks to the Backwards Compatibility of the Xbox One and upcoming Xbox Series X.

In order to transfer your Xbox 360 Minecraft world to a PC, several steps are necessary, but it involves a discontinued version of Minecraft on the Xbox One, so you might not be able to do it at all.

In order to get your Minecraft World transferred, you'll need a Xbox One with "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" (not the Bedrock Minecraft for the Xbox One, that will be the next step).

If you have access to a Xbox One with the "Minecraft Xbox One Edition", start your Xbox 360 Minecraft and make sure it's updated to the latest version.

In Minecraft, upload your world to the Cloud. Then go to the Xbox One and sign in with your Microsoft Account that you use on your Xbox 360.

Start "Minecraft Xbox One Edition", and import your cloud save from the Xbox 360 Minecraft.

Now that you have your world on the Xbox One Edition, let the Xbox One save and upload the save state to the Xbox One Cloud.

After that, start "Minecraft" on the Xbox One (the latest Bedrock version, without the "Xbox One Edition" in the title).

Import your world to the Xbox One "Minecraft".

Now start your free trial for a Realm. Upload your world to your Realm and go to your Windows 10 PC. Sign in with the same Microsoft Account email you used on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and start "Minecraft for Windows 10" (the Java Minecraft will NOT work).

Join the realm, and you can download the world to the PC.

Now don't forget to cancel your subscription for the Realm, otherwise you'd have to pay for it.

Right. That makes sense. In that case, I think the problem I have is the xbox 360 itself is no longer capable of internet connection. Probably bad hardware. To make matters worse, the admin privileges for the xbox 360 are locked to a xbox live profile, which
can no longer sign in, which leave usb stick out of order. The last person I talked to suggested mojang, which I've done before and I'll see what they have to say.

Hi Lisha,

Thank you for contacting the forums. Which version of Minecraft are you talking about buy add-ons from? There are 3 separate versions of Minecraft (Minecraft, Minecraft Xbox One Edition and Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition). I would recommend you to buy Xbox 360
add-ons through the Xbox 360 marketplace if you specifically want add-ons on your son's Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 version of Minecraft is not backwards compatible on the Xbox One.

If you had owned Minecraft 360 digitally, you could have had the benefit of getting the "Xbox One Edition" at a reduced price, and if you owned the Xbox One Edition, you could then get the "Minecraft" without "Xbox One Edition" on the Xbox One for free.

However, these offers have all now expired, and the only way to get Minecraft on your Xbox One is to buy the game again.

Be aware: You can't import your Xbox 360 worlds in the newer Xbox One Minecraft!

If getting your Xbox 360 world over is important for you, you need to find someone with "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" and import it to that game first. Then import that world into "Minecraft" on the Xbox One.

Hello Army,

AS you know Minecraft for Xbox 360 came first so there will be more updates and such as to why different version numbers this is why you are unable to use them on the Xbox one. They are two different versions, both need to be purchased. In this case since
you have them on the Xbox one we suggest getting with Mojang to see how to use them as they are the ones that release the updates.

Thanks,

Brad

Both copies were purchased a long time ago now. Yes I know Minecraft was released on the 360 first and since they are different platforms obviously they will have different version numbers for each platform. Mojang is not responsible for Minecraft on Xbox
360 or Xbox One, Microsoft is. Mojang only deals with support issues for Java editions and Mojang accounts. The problem is Minecraft on Xbox 360 has been updated to a release higher then the current release for Xbox One Minecraft Edition making the two incompatible.
If Microsoft would allow Mojang to release an update for Xbox One Minecraft Edition to bring it up to date with the Xbox 360 Minecraft version they would. So this is a Micosoft issue as they control which editions get updates and when.

From Mojang:

"The Minecraft editions you're playing on are handled by Xbox Support. This help center is mostly limited to provide support for the Minecraft Java edition and Mojang accounts."

It just doesn't make logical sense to update Xbox 360 to a more advance version/patch/release then Xbox One. Unless Microsoft wants me to toss out my Xbox one and stay on the 360 always.

Hi, I would suggest clearing your system cache, and re-download the latest minecraft update.

support.xbox.com/.../clear-system-cache . I also suggest making a post over at

www.minecraftforum.net/.../145-minecraft-xbox-360-edition , or If you use Twitter you can tweet @4JStudios .
