It’s more difficult to play Minecraft on Android than it is on PC or in Java or Bedrock Edition. Additionally, it can be tricky to sync your Android Minecraft worlds anytime you buy a new phone or tablet. We will discuss a unique Android app that has lately been noticed online in order to allay this anxiety of Minecraft gamers. It enables Android users to sync their preferred Minecraft environments across several devices. For PC users, there are already mods for Minecraft or easier ways to complete this task. However, even for Android, using your Google Drive alone might be sufficient. So without further ado, turn on your gadgets and let’s sync Android Minecraft worlds.
Sync Minecraft Worlds Across Android Devices (2021)
Only the official Minecraft app for Android, which costs $7.49 and offers in-app purchases, will sync using this approach. Watch out for any fake Minecraft apps you may find on the Play Store. Bedrock is the name of the programme we’ll be using for this straightforward lesson. Its obvious goal is to sync your Minecraft worlds across many devices. So let’s get started right away!
Step 1: Save Minecraft Worlds on Your Android Device
Your world is automatically saved to the cloud in Minecraft for Android. Therefore, we need to confirm that we have saved them on your device before we start syncing existing worlds. So let’s look at the procedures:
1. From the home screen of the Minecraft app, select Settings. It can be found beneath the Play button.
2. Under the General section, on the left pane, you will find aProfileoption. The profile settings will appear in the right pane when you tap on it.
3. Scroll down to the File Storage Location option on the profile settings screen. You’ll observe that the Application choice is now chosen by default. Click or tap on it, then select External. By doing this, you’ll ensure that all of your stored worlds—both new and old—are highlighted in the drop-down menu on your Android phone.
4. We need to migrate any worlds you have generated and saved in the Application location to your device’s local storage. To achieve this, go to the home screen and press the Play option.
5. Your list of worlds that are still saved in the Minecraft programme is displayed here. The edit (pencil) button is located to the right of your world’s name.
6. Next, look for the Copy World option on the right pane of the menu that appears. It is accessible via the Delete World menu. To make a fresh copy of your environment that will be preserved on your device, tap on it. This Minecraft World will now be able to sync between Android devices.
Step 2: Download & Set up the Bedrock App
Bedrock is a premium Android app that was released in 2021. With the help of this app, you may use Google Drive to sync Minecraft worlds on your Android device. Therefore, let’s download it and begin to work.
1. Download the Bedrock app from the Play Store using the following link. It is less than 3 MB in size and costs $0.99. So, buying and installing the software shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.
2. After that, launch the Bedrock app, which will prompt you to link your Google account. By touching the tick button in the bottom right corner, you can go on.
3. After that, you must grant Bedrock permission to see your Google Drive data. Later on, you can delete the app’s access from your Google account. Tap the Allow button in the pop-lower up’s right corner to grant it access.
4. The programme will now request authorization to access a folder. Your saved Minecraft worlds are located there. Simply press the tick icon in the bottom right corner. The next step is to find and choose the folder where your Android Minecraft worlds are stored. To locate your Minecraft worlds, go to the folder mentioned below:
/sdcard/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds
5. After selecting it by pressing the Use This Folder button, you may now sync Minecraft Worlds between Android devices.
Step 3: Upload Your Minecraft Worlds to Google Drive
The software will load all of your Minecraft worlds and present you with a wide range of options once you choose the folder containing your favourite worlds. We just need to upload these Minecraft Worlds to Google Drive at this point. Follow these steps to find out how that operates:
1. Select the Minecraft world you want to sync from the list. Next, click the upload button, which is shown by an upward pointing arrow.
2. All that’s left to do is sit back and wait for the automatic upload of your Minecraft world to your Google Drive cloud storage to complete. An active download button will appear next to the upload button after a successful upload. It is indicated by a downward-pointing arrow.
Step 4: Sync Minecraft Worlds on Different Android Devices
Repeat these steps on your second Android smartphone to download and install the Bedrock App. For the syncing process to function perfectly, make sure you connect into the app using the same Google account. You won’t need to buy the app more than once if you use the same Google account across several devices. Open the app after that, and then use the instructions below to sync your worlds on Android devices.
Keep in mind that both Android smartphones should have the same version of the Minecraft app.
1. The Bedrock app will sync with Google Drive to display all the accessible worlds uploaded to the cloud, presuming you already choose the folder as before (as mentioned in Step 3). The list may include contain worlds that you already have on that device. However, the only worlds with a download button will be those on Google Drive.
2. Select the Download option, then wait as the Bedrock software syncs your Android Minecraft worlds. The downward-pointing arrow points to the download button. You must choose the Yes option in the pop-up box that appears when the programme requests confirmation.
2. You can delete one of your synchronised worlds in the game itself if you ever decide to do so. Additionally, you can tap the faded cloud icon next to the upload option to remove the synced world from Google Drive. The Minecraft world will be removed from Google Drive.
3. Once the syncing is complete to your satisfaction, open Minecraft and you’ll see that the corresponding world is now accessible on your new device. This programme allows users to back up their Minecraft environments.
