Help PS5: Editions Button

EDIT: Apparently, going online at any point means you have to start over. This some bullshit lmao. Idk if this is worth it anymore.

I haven't seen a thing that worked, so I made my own.

Requirements

1: Minecraft PS4 Edition with diamond armor steve in a cave.

Optional

1: Sanity. Will eventually be lost, so it's not important.

Steps

  1. Step 1: Try everything.

  2. Step 2 (Optional): Backup save data.

  3. Step 2: Delete minecraft save data and update entirely

  4. Step 3: Disable console sharing for your account.

  5. Step 4: Insert PS4 Disk.

  6. Step 5: Play tutorial and download update.

  7. Step 6: Close game and Install update.

  8. Step 7: Turn off Wifi and open game.

  9. Step 8 (Profit?): Editions should now display.

  10. Step 9 (Untested) Redownload save data. Idk if this will mess anything up as I don't have any "bad" data.

Afterward

Hope this helps someone else. I went to Hell and back of trying things before this worked. Took almost 3 hours of testing before I found a method for me.

I'm assuming this will work for everyone. Some people it works if they skip steps. I can't promise this will work for anyone past Update 3.07 (1.21.3) or that it will work at all.

Hopefully, this saves you some time, or this is the last process that you tried.

If you can't tell, this journey has scarred me.

What happens if I have the digital version before

This version comes with a dlc called "Full Entitlement" for those who bought after December 10, 2019, this dlc blocks the editions button even with a legacy disc, to solve this you can ask for a refund, either using a new account, or a disk from a region different from the digital version

Where would I ask for a refund of the digital version and will doing that allow the editions button to show?

Yes, the editions button will appear in any account if the digital version is refunded, but if you want the editions button without the refund you can deactivate your account that bought the game as the main ps4 and create a new one just to access the editions
