"Sync Old Worlds" button missing from Play screen

This affects Xbox (where I had the issue), Playstation, and Switch players who have new UI that has been rolling out. All console players in past would scroll down to bottom of page to see a sync old worlds button (see image to see the button at the bottom in Old UI, ignore error). The new UI that was pushed, with no way to off, forgot to include the button at the end in both grid and list view.

This is a major critical issue for anyone who hasn’t transferred their old worlds, mainly anyone who decides to do so in the future. Rolling out the UI without considering this is lacking care to preserve old worlds and memories. You should want people coming to bedrock from legacy, so this should be fixed. Not fixing this will cause pain to anyone wanting to preserve or test Legacy worlds (my friend is very depressed about this)

How to recreate:

  1. Make sure to have some worlds on the Legacy version of Minecraft to test with

  2. Go on Minecraft Bedrock on one of the mentioned consoles

  3. Click “Play” button

  4. On “Worlds” tab (test both grid and list view) go to last page

  5. Go to the bottom to see a sync old worlds button

  6. Click it to get more worlds to load from Legacy Console Edition

  7. Click selected world to transfer it

What is expected:

  1. there to be a button at the very end of the last page

  2. there be button to sync old Legacy Console Edition worlds

  3. the world would transfer to Bedrock

  4. clicking it brings up the 1.18 message for increased world height below and above world

  5. Then you should be able to play said world in bedrock

What is happening:

  1. The button doesn’t even appear at the end, probably due to new UI not even having a button for it

  2. This make all the transfer code redundant since there is no way to use it

  3. This fully removes any previous way to bring old worlds to legacy, causing sadness in returning players
