Hello @LilliFlis!

I would recommend that you soft factory reset (leaving your games & apps installed) your Xbox One console to remove any potentially damaging files on the OS that may be causing this to happen. Please be sure to know your log in credentials (email address & password) to your or any profile on the console prior to performing this step as it will remove profiles during the process.

If you’re ready to reset your console to the factory default settings, follow these steps:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
   
2. Select System > Settings > System > Console info.
   
3. Select Reset console.
   
4. Select Reset and keep my games & apps.
   

Once you try this, attempt to launch the game. If you receive the same results, then you should uninstall the game, restart the Xbox and reinstall Minecraft.

Give the troubleshooting a try and let us know the results.

Thank you for this response! We were just about to work on this fix. (Needed to make sure we knew all the info, like passwords, etc. My kids set this stuff up on thier own, so I didn't necessarily have all the info we might have needed.) When they turned on the xbox, there was a chat message from Xbox support that games were back up and running, and the game finally loaded. Yay!

it's one of ps4's strengths I am surprised MS didn't change their stance. especially after minecraft sold millons of units not only on pc but on xbox. the next minecraft won't be coming to xbox one without self publish.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with Minecraft that won't open.

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

Based on the information you have provided, sounds like the BetterRenderDragon Shaders may have caused an issue with your Minecraft installation, leading to freezing at the Mojang Studios loading screen.

Please remove shader files manually. If the shader pack injected files into your game, simply installing won't remove them. Navigate to your Minecraft installation folder and manually deleting any files related to BetterRenderDragon.

And then check for conflicting mods or shaders. If you have other mods or shaders installed, they can be interfering with the game. Kindly launch Minecraft without any mods to see if it works.

Next is to check if there's an option to verify or repair game files from the Store. This can help restore missing or corrupted files.

Then check GPU settings. If you have an NVIDIA or AMD GPU, kindly make sure Minecraft is using the correct graphics processor.

Thank you for your cooperation.
