Players also call this: change host transfer save
The useful answer
Treat the original host as the owner of that world. The official guidance says the host saves progress, so do not assume another player can seamlessly continue the same island state.
Step by step
- Keep the original host for the campaign.
- Schedule sessions around that player.
- If starting over, choose a smaller sustainable world size.
Why players get stuck here
A host change is not the same as ordinary crossplay or joining from another platform.
Verify it before moving on
Change one variable at a time, then retest from a fresh session. That makes it clear which fix worked and avoids turning a connection, audio or input problem into several overlapping problems.
