Last night my son accepted a Minecraft Xbox 360 Update and since then we've noticed that none of our saved games will load and a lot of blocks that were previously available in creative mode are no longer options.
The saved games still show up when we look to start a game, but when we select a specific saved game what happens is that when it loads we find ourselves underwater on a new map with nothing.
Thx Syeonyx! You were absolutely right. I think it must've glitched during update. I deleted the patch and then reinstalled it the next time we turned it on and everything went back to normal. Blocks returned. Saved games opened... and there was much rejoicing.

Yaay!
In all sincerity, I'm glad you found the help you needed here on the forum. Much thanks to Syeonyx!
My son accepted an update on the xbox 360 edition of minecraft the other day.. and when u see an UPDATE u think its gonna give u more new options and stuff.. NO it erased his world.. But when u go to load the world up , it shows the name and his last save but when he loads it.. it starts him out underwater and everything is GONE.. is there a way to undo an update!???
This is the second update in a row that has completely wiped all of my son's work. He is 8 years old and cannot understand why this keeps happening. I honestly cannot explain it either. He was crying as if he had been physically hurt when he saw that he lost it again.
The only thing a Minecraft update should never do is wipe your save!!!!!!!!
Like the others in this thread you can see the thumbnail on the save but you are spawned underwater with nothing in your world after loading.
I tried deleting the title update and cache and re-downloading 3 times with no success.
I am so angry about this because the entire point of the game is that it is supposed to be a persistent world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has spent hundreds of hours on all of his worlds and this is devastating to us all. This is completely unacceptable.
Good luck trying to call their support numbers they just tell you to call someone else, and their live chat is a joke since I asked a question and got banned for no reason when I tried to ask him again when the first number didn't work
I also am getting sick and tired of the countless updates. If I choose NOT to update, I either can't load my save, or it gitches and doesn't work/load properly FORCING me to sit through yet another long boring update.
What's the reason for the updates anyway? I check the most recent post about updates, but it's dated early June. And I've updated like 3 times since then. So I can only assume they are fixing mistakes they made with the HORRIBLE Battle Mode they recently added.
If Battle Mode is SO badly created, that you have to FORCE an update every other week... how about you remove the stupid thing and test it before you jam it unwanted down our throats.
Having similar issues. Has anyone found a solution? I have tried contacting XBOX and 4J Studios but can't get through in their contact places in their websites. When Minecraft updated on the XBox360 the controls were all strange and the worlds completely empty of any work previously done. We have since reversed the update but any worlds that were opened under the update remain completely wiped out of all previous work. Other worlds opened now that the update has been reversed are fine. Is there anyway to recover the work done in those worlds? They were not saved in the new update but it appears that merely opening it in the new update was enough to completely destroy them. I have a son who has been working on a world in creative mode wince Christmas and it is completely gone. He is devastated. Please help!!

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear there is any way to recover wiped worlds. The only thing you can do is refrain from opening other worlds when you notice it happens.
As for the "strange" controls, check the settings menu. Sometimes after an update the sensitivity gets set to Zero. It's a weird glitch that's been in the game forever. We've all had to deal with it.
The same thing happened to me. It erased my worlds and we spawn in the water with missing blocks in creative and the world default with no progress. I have personally been playing on this one Minecraft for 5 years and this is SO FRUSTRATING! MINECRAFT NEEDS TO FIX THIS!!
The same thing happenedto me I had a panick attack for hours cause I thought my city I have been working on for years have been deleted but I re downloaded the update and my city map was back!
The saved games still show up when we look to start a game, but when we select a specific saved game what happens is that when it loads we find ourselves underwater on a new map with nothing.
Any idea what we did or how we can fix this?
Thanks in advance!

fantastic
I don't know how to fix this but I kno one fact: updates CAN cause a lot of trouble, I herd about that a lot
I know right! Tottaly unacceptible! Tell your son that I feel his pain
