This is still an issue as of September 4, 2025. My scenario involves moving a world created on an iOS device (latest version: Minecraft v1.21.101) to a Bedrock Server instance (latest version: bedrock-server-1.21.102.1.zip). On the iOS device, I have an inventory while logged in with a Microsoft/XBOX profile. When I move the world files to a Bedrock Server, the inventory disappears, even though I’m logging into the server with the same Microsoft/XBOX profile. In fact, the client that I’m using is the exact same iOS device.
It appears that the player data was not saved on the iOS device local world with the associated XUID that was currently logged in at the time, and thus when moved to a server, that inventory is effectively lost.
Someone previously mentioned Realms... I can confirm that if I upload this world to my Realm, then “Download World” from the Realm Game Settings, then upload this to the Bedrock Server, the inventory is retained as expected when accessed from the iOS client logged in with the same Microsoft/XBOX profile.
