Minecraft worlds file and backups have disappeared is there any way to recover the data.

NicBucca · Aug 25, 2023

Recently my Minecraft world has disappeared as well as most backups (about 8 backups). I have tried to troubleshoot the problem myself by deleting the game, deleting local saved data, factory resetting Xbox, re syncing user data, and signing in on another xbox. I have even attempted to load the worlds in “Minecraft Preview” to no avail. There is one backups that remains from months ago but when trying to play it a message pops up and says “the world is not fully synced or has been corrupted…” making it unplayable. I have also reached out to the developers through mojang support and they told me there was nothing they can do. I have lost most hope at salvaging my data and this thread is my last resort.

Hello NicBucca how are you?

My name is Ezequiel I'm an Independent Consultant.

Unfortunately, I believe that I will not be able to solve your problem, since the support itself was unable to solve your problem.

I've never played Minecraft much on Xbox One, but I do notice that the PC version has more features than the Xbox One version.

In Minecraft in the PC version I have access to the folders where everything is stored (data, saves, world) I don't know if you have the PC version maybe you can recover your backups, I'm just making an assumption and I'm not sure if it is possible.

Hi Himlo,

When you state mobile, are you referring to the Phone pocket version of Minecraft? If so, there is no way to recover deleted worlds that you did not have a backup file for.

Hi Clémence! My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

If there aren't any world files in the Minecraft directory, and you didn't make a backup of your data, the worlds may unfortunately be lost permanently.

It's recommended to make frequent periodic backups of important data on your PC to prevent situations such as this.

If you log back in, you should be able to redownload your skins.

If your Minecraft save disappeared and you have a working backup, you can restore the Minecraft world from your backup. Your specific backup may be different based on your Android device and version, but the process for iOS is fairly standard and boils down to restoring your device through iCloud. We’ve covered variations of both below:

These instructions involve restoring a backup from Samsung Cloud.

Go to Settings, then Accounts and backup.

Choose Restore data.

Select your device

Ensure you’re restoring the Minecraft app (inside Apps), then tap Restore.

Access Application Data\.minecraft\saves. ...

Make a copy of the corrupted world folder & all files & folders inside, and rename it however you please. ...
Start Minecraft and create a new world, then save and close Minecraft. ...
Go back to Application Data\. ...
Cut the files (but not the folders) from the new saved world folder.
