Minecraft – How to FIX MISSING SAVE OR CORRUPT WORLD – Minecraft Tutorial

Hey everyone my name is gamer Cory and welcome back to another minecraft tutorial video now in this video I do want to show something that happened to me personally and I’m sure that it’s happened to quite a few other people and that’s basically having a corrupt or

Unreadable save file and by that I mean going into single-player here and you have no world but yet you have a in your safe folder you have a world listed right here now there is a couple reasons why this might be happening obviously like I mentioned it’s a corrupt file or

Fortune it’s just unreadable in any specific way but basically I want to show you guys how to resolve it now there are two different ways that this can be done and I’m hoping that the first one resolves your guyses issue and if it does that means you died gonna

Lose anything in your game now if you have to resort to the second way to basically fix this problem then unfortunately anything in your players inventory your experience points your ender chest things like that the world’s save in general is gonna be completely lost and it’s unsalvageable however all

The world stuff itself will be there so if you created like a mob farm a fish farm any type of other farms that you’ve made or a beautiful house or mansion a castle doesn’t matter what your build is that stuff will still be there if you do

Have to resort to the second thing the second option now I’m gonna be doing this tutorial obviously on a PC however I will be doing the same tutorial on a Mac the steps are gonna be virtually the same except for where the saves folder is actually located so if you guys know

Where that’s actually at on a Mac then you probably don’t need to necessarily watch the Mac version of it now I’m gonna go over step by step on the Windows 10 see version so let’s go ahead and get started now obviously as I was mentioning before your saves file is in

The folder itself but it’s not showing up here now if we actually go and click cancel and relock it’s not here now basically what we need to do is when we are looking at the saves folder here we have two files at the very bottom here and they’re highlighted now we have

Level debt and we have level dot debt underscore old now if you want to try to resolve this thing first way to do is you need esteem to the truck out this level dot at either need to delete it or just move it to another folder it really

Doesn’t matter because it just needs to go away if you want to delete it that’s perfectly fine if you want to just throw it to the side just in case you want it and to see if it might work later then you definitely can do that as well but

If it’s corrupt or unreadable in any capacity it’s probably not gonna work even at a later time now like I said this did happen to me and unfortunately this first option did not work for me so that’s why I actually was not live streaming today or doing a

Lot of other things in Minecraft because I was spending so much time grinding to get my stuff back and it was an absolute nightmare so unfortunately if you guys are high level players and have good amount of armor and other kinds of loot whether on you or in your ender chest

You’re gonna have to be spending a substantial amount of time to recuperate some of those lost items now lately I’ve been lucky enough I’ve been doing a lot of and raiding I’ve had a lot of books from my afk fish farm so I wasn’t too

Bad but it still took me a few hours to recuperate everything now in some cases I actually got better stuff than I previously did which is absolutely fantastic but it still took a lot of time that I really didn’t want to have to put into it just like you probably

Don’t want to either so now basically for the first step what you want to do is grab this file here and you’re going to go down and click on rename and you’re going to rename the dot underscore old to just Louisville debt which was the file that you just got rid

Of you’re gonna go ahead and push enter and whatnot you’re gonna get this alert that says if you change a file name extension the file might become unusable are you sure you want to change it yes you can click it push enter whatever you want to do now you actually have this

File here so let’s go ahead and check to see if this specific file worked for us or the specific method worked for us so if we actually go ahead and click cancel and go into single-player haha that one actually worked for us so now basically what happens is if this doesn’t show up

At this point that means both your main level dot and your your backup your level dot dat underscore old are both corrupted something happened in that game that caused a major file issue that caused both of those files to become completely corrupt and unusable which is a very very unfortunate now basically

What we’re gonna do is we’re actually gonna get rid of this level dot debt here and you’re gonna see me delete it I just deleted it so now once I go back into this it’s gone and now I’m going to show you guys basically the step two method on how to

Get this to work or second option on how to get this fixed now I’m fortunately I was mentioning before there are a few things that you guys are going to lose from doing this number one your world spawn and your player spawn so your bed are gonna be

Gone the world spawn is actually gonna be in a different location for you than it was previously so if you spawned right where you built a house where you’re gonna swear you’re gonna spawn at is gonna be a few hundred blocks away from where it was now typically it’s

Relatively close to where the original spawn was that but you’re still gonna have to travel a little bit of a distance to get to it however if you’re relatively close and you have all your stuff saved inside of a regular chess or barrels and a few other things that are

Out there nowadays in Minecraft then at least you have a place to stay in a bed that you can sleep in and you can mark your own player spawn again now everything that I was mentioning before in your player inventory is also gone your ender chest information is all is

It’s it’s done there it’s it’s gone you guys there’s nothing you can do to get it back if the first option didn’t work for you now if you decide that you want to move forward with this and continue playing after we do this there might be a few

Issues that you need to be aware of prior to doing this number one you might have terrain generation boundary issues basically like chunk airs so they’re the 16 by 16 squares they load up every time you know that’s why you have like the check the chunk rendering distance it

Loads out that many chunks away from your player if if you get to a certain spot in the game and it could or could not happen it’s possible and it’s possible and that might not happen it’s it’s kind of a gamble but if you do run

Across a chunk ear it is what it is because it’s possible that your world could contain chuck Ayers going forward so you’re just gonna have to be very very aware of that now the player location of where you last rat is now obviously deleted as well because it’s

Linked directly to that level dot information so what you need to do is you need to create a brand new world it does not matter what you name it you can name it new world in this case I’m just gonna call it test because I wanted to

Kind of stand out now you’re in a code and click create the new world and it’s gonna take a little bit of time to create a new world just like it always does with Minecraft depending on how fast your computer is but when your world does load you’re gonna get put

Into obviously brand new world everything around you is gonna load like like normal and this is this is our new world so you can choose to start all over or you can choose to do what we’re about to do with going forward so that you can recover at least most of the

Stuff that you had so you can immediately just go in a scape out of that because all we want is that level dot dat file so I’m gonna over my my folder here we’re gonna go back to my saves and you can see that we have this test world here so what we’re

Gonna do is we’re gonna grab this level dot dot here we’re gonna copy it we’re gonna go back into the YouTube one which is what I use for live-streaming and my youtube videos for Minecraft so we’re gonna go ahead and paste this one right here okay now when you click on

Single-player you’re gonna see that we have two they both say test but if you look really carefully they actually don’t both say test one says test here one says YouTube now if it doesn’t say youtuber if you happen to name it the same as your original save file or the

World that you really wanted to have then it’s always gonna be the bottom one is gonna be the most newest and current version of the level death so if we click on that bottom one you can see that we’re gonna load into world we’re gonna drop in pretty much randomly now

If you fall into our on land basically what’s gonna happen is you won’t die you won’t take any damage but you will fall from a decent height and you’re gonna sound like you’re gonna take damage but you actually don’t now at this point we need to find out where we are located in

This world now this based on my world I feel like I’m actually pretty far away yeah so I have to go to negative 200 on my X in Z coordinates this is why it’s always important to mark your location so what we’re gonna do is we’re actually

Gonna make our way there this is gonna take me a little bit of time just because I am basically 400 blocks or almost 500 blocks away now in just a moment we should actually see a couple of my structures start to pop in here and the first one actually should be my

Mob spawner because that one is a relatively big build and it should be basically right in front of me so once the chunk actually does load we should see it pop into the world here in just a moment so there it is you can see right

There it is rendering in it does spawn you relatively close to where you’re where you where your location that you originally spawn now when I fir came to this world I actually spawned right about here or so so obviously it did they did throw me about five hundred

Blocks off or so from my current location now if I now in order to basically mark this as spawn you can’t I mean this and you want to you know go into creative and you’re in and creative world and you want to now what basically what you’re gonna want to do is you’re

Just gonna want to go to your bed and you’re gonna want to mark your player spawn so that way you don’t have to worry about spawning in the middle of the ocean every time that’s something crazy would happen as mentioning before everything in your ender chest is completely gone everything my inventory

Is also gone however everything in the chest is still here so like regular chests or their barrels all this information is actually all going to be here and you don’t have to really worry about it so that’s what’s really nice about at least being able to save this now I I’ve

Done this a few times just to kind of see there are some times where I only get placed maybe 20 blocks away from where the original spawn is I to actually tested this one time and I think I actually spawned it was right about here so that’s some of how far I

Spawn now you can see that this last time I spawn about five hundred blocks away and that seems to be the furthest that I’ve ever done it and I’ve actually tested it about ten different times just deleting that player that layer that level dot that information and seeing

Where I get placed so it’s usually really close it has the game does a pretty good job at least keeping the information really close by but if you built your base really far away from the main the original spawn you’re just gonna have to go to that location to

Finally your stuff but anyway that’s all you guys have to do now at this point you just have to start over with your character information so if you don’t have like a furnace array or like a XP farm of any kind of whatever then it might take a lot longer to regenerate

Some of those things that you might have lost but this is also a good point to put a good time to point out that don’t keep all of your really good valuables inside of your ender chest because if your game does because become corrupt if you kept

Only kept all of your good stuff inside of your Android chest you’ve lost it all and that’s unfortunate now I can tell you that I’ve been playing Minecraft for a very very long time for actually I think I’ve been playing it since beta and now obviously I took some time off

And I never really did always on YouTube but this is the first time it’s ever happened to me in like 10 years so it doesn’t happen very often and or if at all so I really don’t know why I did it it just becomes corrupt for whatever reason but anyway hopefully this does

Help you out and if it did help you out in any way then don’t forget to like comment and subscribe down below it would help me out a lot and is greatly appreciated but until next time YouTube you guys keep doing what you’re doing because you’re doing it and you guys stay gaming
