Minecraft

There is nothing more satisfying than unlocking achievements in Minecraft after countless hours of play. However, occasionally those achievements aren’t unlocked right away, leading you to believe they haven’t been completed.
Fear not though, as the issue is somewhat common, and happens to plenty of players. There are a handful of reasons why they might not be unlocking, so check through the following list to see if your situation meets any of the criteria.

1.  The Server Has Not Received the Data Yet

Minecraft needs time to process and organize changes in the system, which can take as long as 24 hours. If you’ve completed the required tasks for an achievement but Minecraft still hasn’t released it yet, then wait 24 hours for the system to process the changes.

2. Your Game Is Not Up to Date

Updates to Minecraft often edit or change achievements, giving players a more or less fair chance at a challenge. However, if you have completed a challenge or advancement and still have not unlocked an achievement, then check to see if Minecraft is running on the most recent software patch.

3.  You Are Not Connected to the Internet

If your device isn’t actively connected to the internet, then it won’t be able to process any achievements. Although you can play Minecraft offline all you want, those achievements will not be released until you connect to the internet once again.

4.  Your Files Have Not Saved Properly

Check to make sure that all of your files have been properly saved before rushing to any conclusions. Any files not properly saved could potentially lose progress data, forcing you to restart the achievement process once again.

If you still can’t unlock achievements after following any of the guidelines above, then your final options are to test your hardware. To do this, simply follow the brief steps below:

1. Turn off Minecraft and your device, and restart both entirely.
2. Check to make sure your device is connected to the internet.
3. Use a storage device to backup your saved data, and uninstall Minecraft from your device. Reinstall the program, and follow the prompts while loading your saved data.

Once you have completed all of the above steps, then you should have no problem unlocking achievements. However, if the problem persists, then consider checking to see if your device is experiencing hardware issues.

If Minecraft on Windows 10 doesn’t update automatically, you need to do it manually. Open Microsoft Store, click on the three dots located in the top right corner and select “Downloads and updates”. Click “Get updates”, and Minecraft should update.

On Xbox One the procedure is quite simple. Go to “My Apps & Games” > Select Minecraft > Select More Options” > “Manage game & add-ons” > “Updates”.

On iOS or Android, you need to open up the App Store or Google Play. Type “Minecraft” in the search bar and choose to update the app.
If there is no update option, your game is already fully updated.

If you can’t sign in, you should use the free mobile Xbox app to choose which account to log into Minecraft. Follow the next steps:

•   If you use an iPhone, open App Store, and if you use Android, open Google Play.
•   Download and install Xbox mobile app.
•   Open the Xbox app on your smartphone.
•   Try to log in to the account you previously couldn’t sign in.
•   Use the same login info to sign in on your Windows, Xbox, or Mobile device.

A corrupted world save is a common error you can potentially fix. To prevent losing the world you spent hours building to a corrupt world save, make sure to back up your world frequently.

You can often create a “New World” that has the exact same name as the last one, and it will load up the old one like nothing happened.

Alternatively, you can:

●   Go to the “saves” folder
●   Copy the whole folder of the corrupted save
●   Create a New World with the same basic settings
●   Make the “New World” a Creative world
●   Fill up your inventory, enchant armor and tools, just like they were previously
●   Go to the “New World” folder and copy these files to the copy of the corrupted save’s folder, replacing the old ones:
a. Level.dat
b. Level.dat_mcr (not always present)
c. Level.dat_old
d. session.lock
●   Start Minecraft and load the “New World” from the Copy of the Corrupted Save folder
●   If everything works right, rename the “New World” to the name of the Corrupted Save

After changing a computer or mobile device, you can’t lose your account. Your account is not stored on your device but on Microsoft servers. However, your Minecraft world can be gone if you change a device because the world files are saved on the device you play Minecraft on.

To restore your world, you will need to transfer world files from the device you’ve previously used to a new one.

If you can’t log in, you should double-check the username, email, and password you are trying to use on a new device.
