Xbox: Downloaded resource packs from realms and servers aren't saved into the game
As of October 5th, the day where the performance update has arrived for Xbox players, every time you try to join a featured server like Cubecraft, The Hive, etc, the game will make you download the resource packs from the server, even if you already have downloaded before.
Stepts to reproduce
- Join a featured server like Cubecraft/The Hive. The server's resource packs will download normally, after that, you'll enter the server.
- Close the game and join the server again
- Notice how the resource packs are download again
Expected
You only need to download the content one time.
Actual
You need to download it every time you try to join the server.
At Windows 10, you may also:
- Join a featured server, Cubecraft.
- After downloading the resource packs, return to the start screen.
- Go to options --> Storage --> Cached data and notice the downloaded packs stored.
- Close the game and go to that local again, and see the packs saved.
- Repeat the same process on xbox
Expected result
The downloaded packs appear saved on Xbox.
Actual result
No downloaded packs are actually found/saved.
Some things to note
This also affects Nintendo Switch and packs from realms (MCPE-142588)
From featured servers:
- Mineplex seems not affected (Mineville and Lifeboat have not been tested yet)
- This is actually annoying.

This issue shouldn't be under "community consensus" , it should be confirmed. It occurs after restarting the game. You have to redownload packs everytime you join a server after restarting the game.
Reply from [Mod] Umija5895M:
The only difference between Community Consensus and Confirmed is whether a Helper/Mod/Mojang staff has reproduced the issue. Other than that, the handling is identical.
You might want to review the Bug Tracker Guidelines for additional understanding of how bug reports are handled.
One thing I'm thinking the reporter didn't clarify too clearly in his reproduction steps is that the issue occurs post restarting the game, not when you exit a server and rejoin it. Basically, if you restart your game, you will have to download resource packs when joining a server, even if you already downloaded the packs before. And the issue does only seem to occur with the Hive and Cubecraft.

I don't know exactly, but the lack of the game's files after the update may also cause MCPE-163005 to happen.

Are you still having this issue after:
Yes, this is still an issue after verifying those topics.
I too am having this issue.
Nintendo Switch counterpart: MCPE-142588.
This bug is still there even on the GDK version described, and it also affects realms as well it seems, as it clears all saved packs in the cache regards of where their from.
I also checked to make sure I didn't have another minecraft saved to my other storage device, so I can confirm that I only have one installed.
Issue is very much still existent in 1.19.70/71 and I'm extremely confused as to why it hasn't been successfully reproduced and marked as confirmed
The reproduction stepts says: "Close the game and join the server again." This is literally restarting your game, and by doing that you'll be downloading the packs again.
Update: Galaxite is also affected.
Regular worlds affected as well, I have to continuously download the texture pack again when loading into the realm or my creative testing world. Everyone on the realm who is on Xbox is having the issue, even the owner
Problem is still existing in 1.20. This should have been fixed now, getting closer to a year. This problem don't seem to be a high propriety sadly. Mojang fixed horses and cows in boats, but actually issues affecting people playing won't be fixed, just like the keyboard on xbox too. These issues all came from the performance update from October last year and none of the real bugs are getting fixed within reasonable time it seems.
has it been patched yet?
Still occuring as of v1.20.70
For Mojang or any helper/moderator on here with Minecraft on Xbox that wants to reproduce this issue, I've uploaded a short video to youtube showcasing the exact issue and how to reproduce it: https://youtu.be/6vXHPtvAfBk?si=FXGo3ZCcfwbkRdpq
In the video, you will see the game is not saving server packs, as when I joined a server, downloaded it's packs, left the server, restarted the game, then joined the server again, it made me redownload that server's packs.
The issue is happening with ALL the featured servers.
You have to redownload the packs to these servers every single time you restart the game. This does NOT happen on PC or IOS and was NOT happening on Xbox either prior to the October 5th, 2022 performance update for Minecraft Xbox that transfered the game from the UWP version to the GDK version. This issue is extremely tedious to people with slow download speeds.
Still occurring in 1.20.81
Come on man, when are they gonna fix this. Even 1.21 xbox cache data is still downloading over and over again
This issue is due to/caused by conflicts between the Xbox cloud syncing system and local saves, similar to the issue that caused corrupted worlds after the October 5th, 2022 Minecraft Xbox performance update (MCPE-162920). The game is prioritizing cloud data over locally cached files, causing it to redownload cached data/server & realm resource packs every time it’s restarted.
It may also be mistakenly flagging downloaded packs as temporary and not correctly syncing them to the Xbox cloud.
After a deeper investigation into this issue, I have theorized another potential cause; I believe the Xbox cloud may not have a functioning pack cache folder inside of the encrypted Minecraft GDK folder (Windows and other platforms all do in their Minecraft folders). For Mojang to fix this, they would have to go to the LocalCache folder visible in the Minecraft GDK folder, and create folders in the LocalCache folder following this file-path: LocalCache -> minecraftpe -> packcache -> resource
This would finally allow the game to save downloaded server packs/cached data and ONLY require them to be redownloaded after a game reinstallation.
Players CANNOT create this filepath or the folders themselves on Xbox as the folder for the Minecraft GDK build is completely encrypted, whereas the folder for the old UWP build was not.
