Why isn't my Xbox updating Minecraft?

Kaleb Basilio · Nov 26, 2022

Hi, does anybody know why my Xbox isn't updating Minecraft? Here's my situation: I haven't been online in a bit now because my Xbox wouldn't work with my Google Wifi, and I lost the password to my AT&T one, but I just got it. As you may be able to tell, I have to update a lot of my games, which included Minecraft. While it updated all of my other games, which included Rec Room and Minecraft Dungeons, it's been stuck at 280 KB for a ton of minutes now. It's supposed to update up to 1.70 GB I think. Any help would be appreciated a ton. Thanks!

:)

Thank you!

About the in-game storage left, that's odd

Do you have another Xbox console? (Or someone who you trust)

If yes, can you install Minecraft on that console and check if all your worlds appears as usual or if the same happens?

It was method C that worked. But now, when I try to create a new world, I can't because it says I have no in-game storage left but all my worlds aren't showing up. I have to go somewhere right now, but once I'm back I'll get back to you.

Please give these solutions a try

A. Power cycle the Xbox:
1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.
2. Unplug the console's power cable from the console and from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes.
Important: Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes. This step resets the power supply.
3. Plug the console power cable back in.
4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

After that, remove and re-add your profile on the console.
In case you need it, here's how to remove and re-add:

Also disconnect your router from power for about 3 minutes. Then connect it again an when everything is working, try again

B. Can be a bit odd but try using a custom DNS address:
go to Settings > Network > Advanced Settings

Once you’re inside the Advanced Settings menu, go to DNS settings and select Manual from the list of available options.
When you get to the next screen, enter 8.8.8.8 in the box associated with the Primary DNS and 8.8.4.4 in the Secondary DNS box.

Once the default DNS addresses have been changed, restart your console and see if the issue has been resolved at the next console startup.
If that doesn't work use 1.1.1.1 as primary and 1.0.0.1 as secondary

C. Clear your MAC address
Go to Settings > Network > Advanced Settings > Alternate MAC Address
Select Clear, restart your console and give it a new try

Should I refer to Xbox services or stay here for help with that?

I just had a question about method C. When you say give it a new try, does that mean I should try to update Minecraft?
