Minecraft deleted my world after a hard power off
12-Nov-18 - For those still having issues with their worlds not showing in the world list - In many cases the actual save data is still present on the device, so the advice from the developers in not to uninstall or delete the game data, as we are working on a fix that should enable the saves to be recognised and show in the list again correctly.
Steps:
- Create world (created several days ago)
- "Save & Quit" several times
- Hard power off, by holding the XBox power button for 10 seconds (we had to because of controller issues)
- Turn console back on
- Open Minecraft
Previously created world not only doesn't have the most recent changes (as you'd expect after a hard power down), but the world is missing from the worlds list! My son put hours and hours of work into that world programming command blocks etc., and as far as we can see it is all gone.

While I can't say for certain, we have a couple of fixes lined up that will hopefully allow worlds that have gone missing from the world list to show up again - the best course of action is to not reinstall the game, because the game save is hopefully still on the device, in many cases.

It would be best if you did not uninstall the game, as it's possible that your game save is still present, but just not recognised by the game. We're working on a solution to allow these saves to show in the list again if they are recoverable.
