Syncing Minecraft Worlds to Onedrive

Minecraft worlds do update automatically as you play, but simply uploading the “saves” folder to OneDrive does not automatically sync changes while you play. OneDrive only uploads changes in folders it is actively syncing.

To properly sync your Minecraft worlds:

Move or copy your “saves” folder into a OneDrive-synced folder (e.g., C:\Users\<YourName>\OneDrive\Minecraft\saves).

Create a symbolic link (optional but recommended): This keeps Minecraft looking in its default location while OneDrive syncs changes automatically.

Open Command Prompt as admin.

Run:

mklink /D "C:\Users\mixma\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves" "C:\Users\mixma\OneDrive\Minecraft\saves"

This makes Minecraft save worlds in OneDrive without changing game settings.

Check OneDrive status: Make sure OneDrive is running and syncing. All changes in your worlds will now be automatically updated to the cloud.

⚠️ Tip: Avoid playing Minecraft on multiple devices simultaneously from the same OneDrive folder—it can corrupt your worlds.
