So I'm kind of stuck at the moment. Now my game is effected by two bugs - this one and the turtle egg bug for 1.6.0.6 MCPE-35045
My game automatically went into beta even though I'm not currently enrolled like I was before Phase 2 was released. It was only when I left the beta, uninstalled and reinstalled, and tried to play 1.5 that my items were missing.
So with your recommendation not to uninstall the game I can't go back to the proper release were Sea Turtles lay eggs without the possibility of losing more items again.
The beta though has actually been saving my items since this whole thing began. I've been on multiple times and haven't lost a single thing.
I'm starting to wonder now if I wouldn't have lost my stuff if I just stayed in the Beta Program instead of reverting back to 1.5 the day Phase Two was released.
I never tried playing that day with the Beta enrolled when it was released. I left it, uninstalled and reinstalled, and when I got in everything was gone. But I wasn't sent back to spawn like some others.
For the last few days, while back on the Beta Program, I've been getting on and checking my game. I collected four flowers and had one on my Hotbar, one in my Inventory, and the other two in two different chests. They've been where I put them this whole time.
But today I tried going back to 1.5 and left the Beta Program, yet again, to find the flowers missing from all the places just like before.
Also when I tried entering the game again it froze and crashed at the Mojang/Minecraft startup screens a few times, and after restarting the console it's put my Minecraft back in Beta even though it says I'm not enrolled.
1. Normal World (Have never played on any Realms before)
2. It was just me (But, yes, I was sighed in on Xbox Live)
3. Have never switched devices, only play on Xbox One (I did however leave the beta program the day of Phase 2's release, uninstalled, and reinstalled the game so I could be on 1.5)
If I can't get it back it would suck and be a setback but I would like to know if I need to get everything again and how soon I can so this doesn't happen any more. Haven't been playing because I don't want to waste my time and world resources.
I wasn't placed back at spawn, my base is located near it though, but I lost everything on me and everything in my chests.
I was playing yesterday on my world I've been trying to recreate after Phase One was released and had no issues until now.
After I heard of Phase Twos release I left the beta program and uninstalled and reinstalled so I'm not sure if I would have lost my stuff anyways. It was my first time on since it updated. Even my old world, which is the same seed but created before Phase One, lost all the items.
I'm just afraid of trying to build back up my supplies in case I lose those too.
So I took a gamble last night a did some testing. I went ahead and tried reverting my game back to non-beta release. Originally when I did this the day Phase Two (1.5) came out I lost all my items. With the new update (1.5.1.2) out as a first step to stop this from happening. I decided to uninstall and reinstall the game again to put me on that version and away from 1.6.0.6 that, for some reason, the game put itself in even though I had been unenrolled from the beta. So even on 1.5.1.2 I still lost all my items when I entered my world. I went further this time and tried putting items in the furnace, in item frames, and armor on stands... all gone. Just like the items in chests and inventory, same as before. After doing this I noticed that the beta was actually in 1.6.0.8, but I was still in 1.6.0.6 probably because I wasn't technically on the beta so it didn't update. Anyway, I enrolled into the beta program again and it downloaded the update to my game immediately. I then restarted my console (Xbox One) and tried playing Minecraft again without uninstalling and reinstalling like you're supposed to when you switch. It worked but it crashed here and there. I managed to gather a few items in my travels to check my chests and stuff again. Getting annoyed with the crashes I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled the game in hopes that it would fix the crashing, since that's what you're supposed to do anyway and I hadn't yet. I believe I even restarted the console again but when I entered my game I was surprised to find I was still carrying the few items I collected while in 1.6.0.8!
In the three times I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game since Phase Two was released this is the first time any items stayed on me and it was in the beta. Something in the beta may have fixed the issue or maybe at least part of it. I don't know how the others are doing but I was playing in 1.6.0.6 and had no issues losing items after saving and quitting. As I said before I feel I would have avoided this had I just stayed in the beta program during this whole Phase Two release. I could do more testing tonight.
