As of 2025 I have now deleted my beloved world as I could not look at that greyed out version anymore. It was also taking up “ save space” once again so I dreaded the “can’t save no storage space error” popping up again and ruining another world. I wish wish you all luck with your worlds.

This bug is also happening on Xbox in .20. I made an end map about a month ago and last week a circle of overworld popped into existence on it… the next day there were 2. My report has been closed and added to yours.

 This is an Xbox world realm btw.

The cauldron are now collecting snow and it is also building snow in layers as it is meant too. Thx for the fix.

Hi tried it again and it now works in 1.20.22 snow is collecting in the cauldron and building up in layers as it is meant to. Thx for the fix.

Since they keep “ closing” reports I will add my comment here.

Xbox game data on failed to sync worlds is being added to my world save data file and causing errors out of data storage space on both xbox and minecraft, I have 1 realm 1.2 gb world I can sometimes get into and 1 unplayable greyed out world ( my original 9 year old world ). This load will not sync as it gets to 99% then just crashes the game, however I can fully load and play my world on Xbox preview with no issues.
My game in manage games balloons from 3.4 gb to over 11 gb without any game play, it just goes back up/ down without any action from me.
I am again getting constant can’t save data messages.

No I play only play survival so do not touch the menu options. I have collected powdered snow previously in the exact same spot on the 1.18 build. Since the 5/10 update nearly everything is broken on Xbox.

1.19.40 does nothing to fix any of the above issues. Still can not play due to worlds not syncing. Can not even load up minecraft in most tries because of lack of storage save space in minecraft ( pink/ black screen error message)

If when I can get the game to load ( not even attempt to try to sync a world) in I get both Xbox error no save data space and minecraft.

As I have zero 0 nil games available to me to even choose one as they are all greyed out, I wonder exactly what data is being “used” to fill this imaginary space?

Xbox help suggested going into settings and removing your profile from the Xbox completely then signing in fully again. 
It takes a couple of minutes but does for me bring back my worlds onto my mc list but of course they are greyed out…. But at least I can see them. 
i have been doing this as they keep disappearing every few days but the data of my worlds is still “ somewhere”.

I have the same issue since the update. Worlds will not sync, random worlds appear disappear from my games list all unplayable, game crashes,  save data error messages full on Xbox and on minecraft.

I have tried everything to fix what the update ruined.
My 9 year old survival world is gone. I am devastated.

Got to 98% again took nearly 20 mins to sync, no error message, just kicks me to dashboard. I am so sad.

Omg I removed my profile again and now it’s back on the list again! Help please!…

attempting to upload the world to realms through realms upload screen, as if it keeps coming back it’s obviously somewhere associated with my account in minecraft.

I don’t hold out much hope as it was going to 98% yesterday then just crashing my game, no corrupted message just crash to dashboard.

they had me delete local saves because of the conflict between the new files and old…all that did was delete all hope.

Part of their “fix” was to delete local saved games. I do have an older Xbox minecraft world saves maybe on there but I booted it up after this happened so it’s probably been overwritten now.

what I really don’t get is how my world 1.9gb was there a few hours ago…could not sync but was on my realm list and play list but upon turning on it’s gone! Replaced by a stupid vote button!

My game updated on my Xbox x but as soon as I went to open my 9 year old survival world it tried to sync the world…but still opened my world underneath which was running just fine! Needless to say after it attempted for many minutes..there was no option to cancel it through me out, failed to save/ update and then I got the data save space error message.

I contacted mc support and Xbox support as my x has over 500gb free. My main game was 1.9 gb and was told to delete a few backups to make “space” I did this but still got error codes and failed to upload/ sync. Each time the game opened the sync screen would flash into existence then immediately disappear. I was told to remove mc which btw was by mc support…I had 6.5 gb saved data left, I have the messages saved but said I had read the warning and did not want to try that. I tried everything else they suggested, power recycling, internet, removal of my profile and at the end even a factory reset. I was told to clear my local saves so the option above will now not work for me. The world I loved and it’s one backup disappeared from my list in a blink along with every other option turning grey.

Minecraft twitter help who I spent 9 hours going back and forth with trying things then sent me to “technical help” who said to go talk to Xbox help as it wasn’t their issue they don’t support console versions…( also have their saved email)Xbox help said this was a developer issue as I spent at least two hours with them. They referred me back to mojang bugs.

I used to have a realm so renewed my sub as there was a very old version of my game on it. I had not been able to access it as it would not open. Was told to try. I had to open and pay for a new realm to get the option to re enable my old one. The game opened. But then crashed when I went to save message..Minecraft now did not have save space!( pink / black)

I couldn’t give up even with the bitter disappointment of losing nearly a gb worth of building exploring so I tried again. Finally got the realm world to download into my play list, random very old greyed out worlds had also appeared now, but even they will not sync. Played on world looking around seeing everything basically gone …went to save and back to no data save space message, fail to upload! World is now on list will not sync.

Everything on my list is greyed out all 4 very old games, none will sync. But yesterday One copy of my main beloved  1.9 gb world has now shown up on my list. It syncs to 98% then mc throws me out to dashboard every time I try.

The realms world which I had been in is unable to be played without being in the realm but I am devastated by all the loss.

I placed yet another bug report but mine was closed and referred to yours. I hope we can get some help.

Just a follow up less than 10 hours ago my main world was on my list but greyed out…it has now vanished again! It appears you have swapped my world for a “vote” mob button as that was not there when I logged off this morning! And the only remaining maybe copy 1.9gb of my world on my realm has also vanished, I can’t sync anything and everything gone.

i 

I am beyond devastated again!

I have the exact same issue. It will not even try to sync.

minecraft help told me it was an Xbox issue, Xbox tell me it’s absolutely a minecraft issue but no one wants to help.

Extra info. The offending terrain appears to be 4 chunks wide, mostly savanna/ desert/ zombie villages and goes on infinitly. I even saw a swamp zombie running around. I am at 2000 blocks away from my original spawn point where nothing has changed. One end of my mega mineshaft is now blocked by new bedrock which is higher than the original max level as I strip mine on the bedrock. The world is still playable which if corrupted would not be. My maps no longer work but my compasses do. The nether seems unaffected. I am not risking a trip to the void.

I have just found bedrock above level 0 ! A zombie village planted on top of a custom village destroying hundreds of hours of landscaping and building! This is an 8 year old survival world! I can’t load a previous save as Xbox cloud will update it to this monstrosity!

Sue happened to me today with 2 full shucker boxes. I am equally not amused.
