Minecraft Worlds on iPad

Jack ㅤ · Jul 4, 2022

Hello. I just connected to Xbox Gamers support and I asked the person if my Minecraft Worlds would still be on my iPad when wiping it with no backup whatsoever, as I was signed into Xbox the entire time. I was told all my worlds would be saved in the cloud by Microsoft and I could go ahead and wipe my iPad. After re-installing the app, all my worlds are gone and I am very upset as I've had these worlds for a long time. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

:)

Minecraft doesn't store the worlds "in the cloud" so that multiple devices can access one world.

If you have a world stored on your iPad, the Switch will NOT automatically have the world, even if you use the same Microsoft Account.

Your son can either "visit" the world on the iPad with the Switch, while the iPad is running Minecraft at that time through Multiplayer.

If you really want to have the world shared across both devices, your only option is to "rent" a realm that you have to pay for in monthly subscription fees.

Or if your son is okay with transferring the world from one device (e.g. iPad to the Switch and only play on the Switch from then on), you could use a free trial for Realms to transfer the world over.

To do that, your son activates a Realm subscription with a free trial on iOS, and uploads the desired world to the Realm service.

Then he connects the Switch to the same Realm, and downloads the world to his Switch.

Then you cancel the Realm subscription via

Only your main save game is put in the cloud, these worlds are local files and are not saved. You can however save backups in cloud storage like OneDrive, which you get limited amounts of with your microsoft account.

Hello Jack!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Friend, I'm sorry about the situation.

The world is only saved in the cloud if you purchase a Mojang Realms subscription. So you level up the world and have access to it on any platform.

In this case where the save was local, there is no way to rescue it again.

I'm sorry for the information that was given to you.
