Unable to access Minecraft world but it is available in Preview.

RichieJS · Dec 5, 2022

Hi,

Can someone advise please if it is possible to transfer worlds from the Preview version to the full release?

I’ve lost access to my world when I try to load on to it in the full version (message pop up says ‘failed to synch world data’).

However, I can access this world (& all others) in Preview, hence the query if I can transfer it back into the full version.

Grateful for any helpful advice.

:)

Same problem for me. Once the forums were updated, I'm still in the preview program but unable to access the preview forums. Seems like no help is available for this.

Hello DweZie Hype,

Greetings!

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Based on the description, you are trying to transfer Minecraft Preview world from Xbox Series X to your PC device. Let us check and see on what we can do to help resolve your concern in a timely manner.

It is possible to transfer a Minecraft preview world from Xbox Series X to Minecraft preview on PC. You can follow these steps to do so:

Open the Minecraft Preview version on your Xbox Series X and go to the world you want to transfer.
Click on the "Edit" button next to the world you want to transfer.
Click on the "Game" tab and then click on "Export World" to save the world to your device.
Once the world is exported, open the default Minecraft Bedrock version on your Xbox Series X.
Click on "Play" and then click on "Create New."
Name your new world and click on "Create."
In the new world, go to "Settings" and then click on "Storage."
Click on "Import" and select the world file you exported earlier from the Minecraft Preview version.
Wait for the world to import, and then click on "Play" to start playing the world in the default Minecraft Bedrock version.
Now, you need to upload your world to a Realm, which is an online server that lets you play with your friends across different devices.
You can get a free trial of Realm for 30 days if you don't have one already.
To upload your world to a Realm, go to the world settings and click on "Replace World."
Choose the world you want to upload and wait for the process to complete.
Once your world is uploaded, open the Minecraft Preview version on your PC.
Click on "Play" and then click on the pen icon next to your Realm from the Realms list.
Click on "Download World" and wait for the download to finish.
Click on "Let's go!" to start playing your world in the Minecraft Preview version on your PC.

Same as above. Unable to access World of Tanks, Shadows of Mordor, Minecraft. But other downloaded games working fine (Warframe, Hands of Fate etc).
