Question

I get a loading world failure. When I try to enter my main survival world, it loads up being completely reset, yet the storage and creation date of my world proves that my main world still exists. Is this a glitch?

Community Answer

Yes, this is a glitch. To fix it if you have the disk take the disk out and clean it then back up your worlds onto a USB.

Question

My Minecraft won't update. When I tried, it went onto the oldest update there was, and won't go back. I don't have Live. What is the problem?

Community Answer

You need to be connected to WiFi, but you don't need Xbox live to update it. Go into system settings, then select "Network settings," choose your network name and enter the password (if you don't know the password, look underneath your WiFi router, there should be a white sticker with that info on it. Once connected, go to Minecraft and press the "Guide" button, you need to be signed out to get it to update. Select "Download profile on a non-Xbox live profile."
