Mojang warned players about the problem and gave them some recommendations

Through its social networks, Mojang Studios made an important warning to Minecraft players. It asked them not to update the game through the Xbox app on PC, as this may cause all their worlds to disappear in the game. This is an annoying and dangerous bug that can put the community's content at risk. For this reason, the studio made some additional recommendations so that no player is affected. Below, we tell you how to avoid this problem.

Do not update Minecraft from the Xbox app

Mojang Studios asked all players not to download the most recent Minecraft update via the Xbox app on PC. By doing so, the community risks losing all their worlds and the time they have dedicated to the title for years.

It is important to follow this recommendation since, at the time of writing this, it is not known if it will be possible to recover the lost content once it is removed by the error. On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that this bug does not affect the Java version of the game.
