If you are playing Minecraft on PC using the Xbox app, be careful before you update the popular open-world survival game. Developer Mojang says you might end up destroying your saved worlds—unless you do some digital repairing.
On March 15, at around 2:30 am EST, Mojang’s official support account on Twitter warned all PC players using the Xbox app not to update Minecraft through the app. “If you do so, your worlds may be lost,” said Mojang, like some sinister and overly dramatic comic book villain.
So what should Minecraft players on PC who use the Xbox app do instead? Well, you’ll need to download a separate tool—the Gaming Services Repair Tool—and then run that piece of software first before installing any updates for Minecraft.
“Using this tool updates the Gaming Services to version 19.87.13001.0, which will avoid the update error,” says Microsoft on its official support page. There, players can find instructions for how to download and run the tool. It seems like a lot to ask people to do just to play a game via your launcher. But the alternative is all your worlds possibly being destroyed.
