Minecraft worlds disappearing

Brittany622 · Sep 24, 2018

I have minecraft for my xbox one. We had been working on a world for over a tear. The first stronghold we found didnt have an end portal. So we left and found another. Once we found another we tampered with the lava below the portal and it would not activate
even with all 12 eyes. Frusterated.. we yet again set out for another. Upon findng the last stronghold we had about half of the eyes of ender needed when my son came and stuck cod into the xbox while we were playing, not realizing what he was doing the screen
switched to cod. When we exited it and went back into minecraft the WHOLE WORLD WAS DELETED!!!! very upset by this we decided to go ahead and start a new world. We have had that world about 3 weeks. Last night something happened and the xbox powered off while
playing minecraft(not sure why it did), once we restarted it and opened minecraft again the new world we had started was again DELETED. I am so frusterated and upset.. please help me get my worlds back!! Please

:)

Minecraft question about disappearing worlds

I am gonna play devil's advocate for a moment, is there any chance your son accidentally deleted your worlds or saved his over yours?

Minecraft question about disappearing worlds

my son just got an Xbox 1 back in March and since then 4 of my worlds have disappeared. Only mine are gone none of his.any ideas on why ? The last world that disappeared i was playing in and the game froze so i restarted it and went to log into my world
again and it was gone .i never had this problem on Xbox 360.

I stopped making worlds and just play in his realm now. It's aggravating because I spent so much time doing things and BOOM world gone...any ideas why and is there a way I could maybe get any of them back or stop them from dissapering ?

Thanks

Hello Brittany,

A suggestion to try involving the issue would be to Clear local saved games.

This can be done by accessing the Settings.

From here find System, and then Storage.

This is to sync the game with the most recent Cloud Save.

Let us know if this works!

Thank you for the prompt response. I did as you instructed and unfortunately my worlds did not return. Do you have any additional advice?

Hiya, Brittany!

Paul from Xbox Forums Team here to assist with the issue, If you're still experiencing the issue I suggest uninstalling the game and reinstalling it. If that doesn't fix the issue you may want to reach out to the Minecraft forums and see if anyone else is
experiencing this same issue. I hope this information was helpful in resolving this issue please keep us update on how the issue progresses.

Happy Gaming!

Unfortunately that did not work either. I posted a complaint to minecraft but it said they are about 10 days behind on replys.. really a bummer. I probably will not be playing this game again with the amount of glitches.

Hello Brittany

Sorry about the frustration. As it sounds in both instances the Minecraft world that you were playing, when shut off was not done properly so it didn't save it. You did the right thing in contacting Minecraft/Mojang see if they may be able to recover them
for you. As far as the cloud and such if you cleared local saves and resynced and they aren't there then they aren't saved. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Thanks

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!
