I was playing in one of the snapshots for 1.9 in my survival world i think it was 15w49b and all the sudden my game crashed so i load back my launcher and the worlds not there but when i went to my saves folder its still there and im not sure why it wouldn't be showing i have a backup but it's from like 2 months before it crashed so it's not going to do me any good. Here is a picture of what the inside of my world folder looks like https://gyazo.com/8ee7892269f4d6c2c04a61020e6a631a please help!

The problem is that your level.dat file has disappeared, which contains information about the world (name, seed, generator options) and the player (inventory contents, location).

I created a new level.dat file that you should be able to paste into the world's folder to have it show up again:

Your world still contained level.dat_mcr, which is the level.dat from worlds before the Anvil format. This meant I could copy over the world's seed, which should hopefully prevent terrain generation issues.

I've put the data from your player's file that was in the playerdata folder (normally only read from in multiplayer/LAN, but written to in singleplayer) into level.dat, so you should keep your inventory as well.

I did this in 1.9pre2, so I'm not sure if you'll need to upgrade. (It's probably best not to be playing on outdated snapshots with known major bugs without frequent backups anyway)

  • If you need me to upload my new world folder i can – user139673 Feb 21 '16 at 15:25
  • @user139673 Did you put level.dat in the right place (so it's along with icon.png) and in the right folder (the one in your saves, not a downloaded one)? It don't think it should be an Internet Explorer type folder, don't know what that means. – SirBenet Feb 21 '16 at 17:19

  • Could my world be corrupted – user139673 Feb 21 '16 at 17:24
  • @user139673 All of your world is still there; I was able to play on it fine with the level.dat I made (you were in the nether at a zombie pig farm or something?). Try downloading the level.dat I linked again; it should only be 2kB, not 34kB. – SirBenet Feb 21 '16 at 17:27
  • When i go to save it it gives me on option to save it as a html web page html only file or a webpage complete file. when i save it as a html it's a 8kb and the complete is 34kb – user139673 Feb 21 '16 at 17:36
  • You need to download the file, not the webpage that the file is downloaded from. Click the download button near the top: http://i.imgur.com/aC4cPqp.png – SirBenet Feb 21 '16 at 17:55
  • Alright it worked thank you so much man i would of never of know that's what the problem was. everything seemed to work fine and was still there a little low on the frame rate but probably because of all the entitys. Anyway thanks for the help! – user139673 Feb 21 '16 at 18:27
