Help, my map isn’t downloading! What do I do?

 

While Microsoft. Mojang and the Marketplace Partners do all they can to prevent it, occasionally maps will fail to start downloading, or stop during the download.

There are a few solutions you can try before seeking advice from Minecraft or Microsoft.

 

Option 1

  1. On the main menu, click settings.

  2. Go down to storage, where you will see "Worlds", and "World Templates".

  3. If there is anything relating to the map in question, delete them using the option in that menu.

  4. Once deleted, re-download the content.

OR

Option 2

  1. Restart Minecraft

  2. Check to see that you have enough storage on your device - The download might be pausing/failing because you don't have enough space!

  3. If you have enough space for the download, reboot your device and retry.

 
 
 

Option 3 is not recommended as a first try, as this will completely wipe all created worlds and any progress made in them. Players will still have access to any purchased content as it is linked to their Xbox Live account.

 

Option 3 - if all else has failed

  1. Completely uninstall and reinstall Minecraft on to your device
  2. Log back into your Xbox Live account and retry downloading the map.
 

If these solutions do not resolve the issue, we advise contacting Minecraft support directly. They will be able to help you fix any problem.
