Changing server host

[Jibs136]

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to change the host of a server, as I play more than my friend we have been trying to transfer the save game files over to me.  But unfortunately nothing is working, any help would be appreciated

Much Love,

Jibs

-Hello Jibs

Currently, if you're on PC, you can swap the host's save file to a new player to host the game, but please remember if you don't get that save back, any changes you make won't persist since it didn't happen on the hosts save. At this time, there is no way for Xbox players to do this.

Hi, I don't understand what you mean with "remember if you don't get that save back, any changes you make won't persist since it didn't happen on the hosts save."

I play on PC but the host won't play anymore. Does he have to send me a local file, or do we have to change it in the game?

In case that he send me the local file, can I run the world and save it as a host?

Thank you very much.
