Why won’t my Minecraft world save to the Cloud Storage

You might be lucky, that the cloud save hasn't been updated with the crashed world yet.

In that case, try the following:

Go to the Minecraft tile in "My Games and Apps", and press the Menu button. Choose to manage the game.

WARNING! The following steps will delete the local save storage! If the other worlds haven't been synced with the cloud, your saves will be gone!!!

So if you are willing to take that step, clear the LOCAL save storage of your Minecraft game.

DO NOT choose to delete the games from all consoles (i.e. the cloud storage)!!!

With the local save gone, start Minecraft.

The console will then try to re-sync the local saves from the cloud.

If that worked, you might have a working world from a previous save.

To prevent such things happening in the future, consider backing up your worlds regularly with these instructions: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360034754912-Backing-up-Minecraft-worlds-

Thanks. But my local save was not corrupted. It is that I did a Xbox factory reset. After that, I did try to re-sync my Minecraft world (500+MB) and the console said "the cloud save is corrupted".

Is it possible that I get the "corrupted" save from your cloud storage and then I can try to repair it? The Minecraft save is so precious to us. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, since Minecraft is not a Play Anywhere title, you can't migrate your Xbox Minecraft worlds to Windows 10 Minecraft.

There is no way to access saved data on your Xbox console or the cloud storage.

Hello Edenquartz,

We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns the cloud saved data for Minecraft not syncing properly.

If you have played the same world that you're trying to access on another console, you could launch Minecraft and the cloud save would overwrite the current save therefore restoring the world.

Unfortunately, if you have not accessed this world on another console, then the world would not be recoverable.

We do advise to review our syncing Xbox One game saves to the cloud error messages support article for
information on cloud sync errors.

Let us know if this information was helpful, and we wish you the best!

DO NOT erase your local game saves storage like Microsoft support might says!!! There are sync problems and I was told to do that and now all my world's are stuck in the cloud and I can't retrieve them till they fix it, if they ever do. To solve the problem they told me I had to erase my local game saves, and then sync back from the cloud. What I would do is find a way to transfer your world to Minecraft realms and save it to another device that way. I wish I would have done that. Your worlds are not safe on the Xbox or on its cloud services. They basically can't do a damn thing, neither Minecraft support or Microsoft support.
