Minecraft world “failed to sync properly”

CEOofFrogs7731 · Mar 8, 2022

Hello, I have just upgraded to a new Xbox Series X today. I have downloaded Minecraft and attempted to load my worlds from my last Xbox one, and text pops up:

“This world failed to sync properly or has been corrupted. Try syncing on a different console and then attempting to migrate.”

I have loaded, saved, and uploaded the world on my Xbox one just fine but it has failed to sync to the new Series X several times. Fortunately my world is still perfectly intact on my Xbox one. If anyone could help me transfer this world, that would be great.

:)

I followed the steps and the world still seems to be de-synced/corrupted. I loaded, a saved and quit the world on the Xbox one, and powercycled, then loaded the world on the Series X, but the same message popped up. It did bring up a screen saying “syncing data for Minecraft” with a load bar, though. Any other ways to upload this world? *Apologies for the bad image quality*

Also, it might be worth noting that the world is labeled as being 456 MB on the Xbox series X, while only 350-ish on the Xbox One.

Thank you so much for the detailed information. In this case, it would be best to reach out to Mojang so they can help and guide you with the necessary steps to perform to prevent any issues such as the deletion of your world.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

On your Xbox One X, kindly launch the game and let it sync, DO NOT cancel or interrupt while it's syncing. After that, make sure to launch the world and then manually quit the game in that way we can make sure that it's successfully sync to your cloud saves.

Now on Xbox Series X, please perform a powercycle then launch Minecraft by following the steps below:

POWERCYCLE CONSOLE

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

I uninstalled Minecraft and I can now see the world on my world list but whenever I try to edit or load the world it says “Failed to sync world data the world is not fully synced or has been corrupted try playing the world on a console where it’s in a good state and try migrating it again”
