Minecraft world won't sync to better together edition

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue. Are you on a different console than originally when playing this game. This error comes up most times when for example you play on console 1 then you move to console 2. But the game never fully synced on
console 1. You can also post on the
Minecraft forums see if there already is an answer for this there.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Goldkiller259,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums with this issue. A few months ago, a Beta version of Minecraft for their upcoming update was mistakenly released, causing many games to update and if a world was opened during the Beta, then if you've returned
to the current version you will need to wait until Minecraft fully updates to the version that was under beta testing before they will be available.

Another possibility is that you're using a previous version of Minecraft for Xbox One and have updated to the new Minecraft "Better Together" version. If this is the case, then you simply need to sync your worlds.

Minecraft updates and versions

To sync your worlds from the Xbox One Edition to Minecraft:

1. Sign into your console using the account with which you previously saved your Xbox One Edition world.
2. Launch Minecraft, and then select Play from the main menu.
3. On the Worlds tab, select Sync Old Worlds if your existing games haven’t already been migrated.
4. Select the world that you want to migrate and wait for the conversion to complete.
5. Your world will now sync to the new Minecraft when you sign in.

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

I hope that this helps you out.

You can sync worlds from Minecraft: Xbox One Edition to Minecraft for Xbox One (bedrock edition) in game,
but you cannot sync the content across, as far as I know.

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for keeping us updated with your replies. If the version of Minecraft you're using on disc is the Minecraft: Xbox One edition, then to update to the new Minecraft (Better Together), you'll need to purchase the game as it is a wholly different version.
The free update from Minecraft: Xbox One edition to the new Minecraft edition (Better Together) ended on January 30th 2018.

I hope that this information helps out. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

You can use the Minecraft Realms standard or try the steps below first when transferring worlds.

In Minecraft (Bedrock Version), select the Sync Old Worlds button at the bottom of the worlds list in the Play menu. This finds any worlds on the device from the Minecraft: PS4 Edition and displays them below the button.

Select any of the worlds that are displayed to convert it to the Bedrock edition.

After conversion, the world will show up above the Sync Old Worlds button, along with the rest of your Bedrock worlds.
