MINECRAFT players have been warned NOT to update the game as fans report a major error.
Gamers have been urged to avoid downloading the latest Xbox PC app over fears they could "lose" their carefully crafted worlds.
Mojang, the video game developer, issued their warning on social media.
It read: "Do not update Minecraft through the Xbox app on PC. If you do, your worlds may be lost."
Instead, the developer suggested running the Gaming Services Repair Tool for PC before installing the update, which can be found in the PC app.
