This error in Minecraft divided the players into two!

Minecraft developer Mojang warned users against a new update. Update from Xbox app breaks the game.

Mojang , the developer of Minecraft , has issued a new warning for Windows 10 and 11. Reported that updating Minecraft via the Xbox app caused some issues. That's why he asked players not to use the Xbox app.

Minecraft crashes when updated from Xbox app

According to a tweet from the Mojang Status account , the new Minecraft update contains a bug that could cause players to permanently lose their save files. It has been reported that Windows 10/11 owners, especially those who update via the Xbox application, may receive this error.

Updating Minecraft via the Xbox app risks automatically deleting players' data. The reason for this error is unknown, but it seems quite surprising since both are products of Microsoft.

Mojang recommended that players run the “ Game Services Repair Tool ” before installing Minecraft updates released through the Xbox app. This tool aims to fix issues with core gaming services used by Xbox and Minecraft on Windows.

Running the repair tool can help prevent data loss error. On the other hand, Microsoft recommends using troubleshooting instructions on its forums. He said that they will offer support to players through the Xbox application.

The data loss issue does not affect Minecraft: Java Edition . However, players can still back up their files externally as a precaution. Thus, you can protect your data against any updates.
