Minecraft world disappeared

Armen Mooradian 812 · May 18, 2025 at 1:53 AM

Hello. I logged into Minecraft today like I normally do on my Xbox and I saw my that my hardcore world with 100+ days played just vanished. There was no notification that it had become corrupted or deleted, I tried to move it from my external storage to my internal, and I tried to restart my Xbox but nothing worked. I have proof of this world existing with screenshots, game captures, and I have the seed to the world as well. I put so much time and effort into this world and I was so close to completing this world which was also going to be my first time beating the game ever. I am very confused, angry, and sad about this situation and I hope there is a way to resolve this issue not just for me but for others who are going through the same problem but can't reach out to someone who can help them. Thank you for your times and listening to me and hopefully helping me recover this world in the near future. So once again, thank you.

Hi Mikey,

With an Xbox one, S, and X all games are saved to the cloud automatically when connected to the internet. The only time they wouldn't be is if you play offline, or don't have any internet. Basically once you clear local saves, when you launch your games
will say syncing data. This is getting the save data from the cloud.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello Mikey,

Thanks for coming to the forums. With the first issue on the turn console off coming up. This happens due to holding the guide button for couple seconds. With the world disappearing Since all of it was shut down by a force shut down it could of corrupted
the file. You can try clearing local save game, then launching Minecraft see if it pulls up the world again. If it doesn't then the cloud save for the world has been written over also. To clear local save go to settings>system>storage>clear local save.

Only other thing that may work is contacting
Mojang see if they able to pull the world up.

Thanks,

Brad

It seems the world data wasn't successfully saved through the cloud as the WIFI cut out; therefore, I am afraid there is no way to recover it in such cases.

However, you can reach out to Mojang to check if they've got any recommendations!
