Hi!

If you go into your system settings and go to storage you can enable cloud saving which may then start saving to the cloud for that game. It can also help backup previous saves

Try this:

Copy your save file of the world that won't load to another source, (USB, cloud, etc). Delete the original save file, and remove Minecraft from your console. Clear your console's cache. Redownload, and reinstall Minecraft. Copy the save file back to your
console. Now try loading the save file.

If it still freezes, that particular save file may be corrupted. Try creating a new game or loading a different save file. Is the freezing limited to just one save, or does it freeze on all saves?

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with Minecraft world.

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

Please be guided that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

To set your expectations properly, if something goes with the network and the device, the save data might not sync correctly, and an empty or corrupted file could be written in its place. If the cloud save was already overwritten by the new/empty or corrupted file, there is no way to recover your previous progress since it was not properly saved to the cloud after gameplay.

Kindly check for a Backup. To do this, open Files app on your iPad.

Navigate to On My iPad > Minecraft > games > com.mojang > minecraftWorlds.

See if any folders there contain your missing world (have a long string of letters/numbers as names).

If you have a backup, move it back into the correct minecraftWorlds folder.

And then look for a ‘Lost’ World Folder because Minecraft creates duplicate world folders. Check if there are other world folders inside minecraftWorlds that might contain your missing progress.

Next is to check iCloud sync by going Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage to see if Minecraft is listed.

If it was recently synced, you can restore it.

Then check for corrupt World files. If the world still appears in your Minecraft menu but is empty, the save file might be corrupt.

To give you a heads up, there’s no built-in way to recover corrupt files, but restarting the device and opening the game again can help.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Maybe your whole Minecraft data is corrupted. Try to save your worlds on a flashdrive and then delete Minecraft and then redownload it and put your worlds back on it.
