Troubleshooting

Common problems and quick fixes. Link to this page from platform guides.

Windows

Marketplace content not syncing: Sign out/in, clear %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP\LocalCache.
Unlocker not working: Ensure game version matches the tool. Disable antivirus temporarily if it quarantined files.

Android

App not installing: Enable unknown sources, uninstall existing Minecraft first, verify APK signature.

iOS

IPA won’t install: Use a trusted sideloading tool, verify signing certificate isn’t expired.

Console

Cross‑save issues: Check Nintendo/PS/Xbox account linkage and cloud sync status.

Linux

Game won't launch: Ensure you have the required 32-bit libraries installed (libc6:i386, etc.).
Performance issues: Use Waydroid with x86 APKs on x86 systems, or ARM APKs only on ARM hardware.
Controller not detected: Install xboxdrv or steam for controller support.
