Transferring a Minecraft World (Please don’t delete, the last one was flawed and not specific)

Hello there samriblet,

Thanks for reaching out. I understand there are some concerns with in-game settings and saves. I recommend reaching out to Minecraft
support or
Minecraft Forum Support for in-game
support.

Hope this helps.

Best is to contact Mojang support to see if they have any way of transferring worlds between players.

As there is another way which is very complicated, both players will need to have the windows 10 edition of the game.

I don’t think the version numbers are matching. Latest update for Minecraft on the Xbox says Version 1.14.3002.70.

Have you tried making a copy of the world and trying that? Just please DON’T accidentally delete the world instead of copying it.

Hello

Sorry for the late reply - the error message I get is "This save is only compatible with Minecraft (2017)" - (see attachment)



that does seem a fairly clear instruction, however, the reason I purchased the specific version of Minecraft I did (Minecraft: Xbox
One Edition) was because the SPECIFIC advice on the Minecraft website (and therefore which Microsoft is responsible for) at https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360035131751-Transfer-Minecraft-worlds-on-Xbox-consoles-

states "It’s not possible to transfer a world directly from Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition to the new version of Minecraft for Xbox One. To do this, you will need to first transfer the world to Xbox One Edition"

Indeed, this specific instruction still remains, and that is with the latest update of that article dated 2020-02-06

As such, given I was following Minecraft / Microsofts specific advice, will Microsoft exchange my copy of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition for the version it now looks like I need to succesfully transfer the world my little boy and girl have years of work in?

You can't transfer it from the memory stick.

Also, you will need to have the "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" game, not the "Minecraft" (without the "Xbox One Edition" in the name).

To transfer your world to the Minecraft Xbox One Edition, start your Xbox 360 Minecraft, and make sure you have the latest version of it installed by having the Xbox 360 connected online to Xbox Live.

The latest Xbox 360 version has a feature to transfer one world at a time to a transfer slot. Upload your world to that transfer slot, and then move to the Xbox One.

Start Minecraft Xbox One Edition. There you will have the option to import a transferred Xbox 360 game from the transfer slot.

Once the world is imported, you can repeat these steps for other worlds you have on the Xbox 360.

After you transferred all your worlds to the Xbox One Edition, you can start the "Bedrock Engine" Minecraft on the Xbox One, and again transfer your worlds from the Xbox One Edition.

If you don't have the Xbox One Edition, but only the Minecraft for Xbox One, please
contact the official support.
