I had this world in world slot 2, and was progressing onto this huge hill cave system. But when I came home from school, world 2 wasn't there! It seemed that it was deleted, but I knew that sometimes it bugged and wrote 0.0 mb etc., so I hoped and clicked the empty slot 2. I appeared in a place that I don't immediately remember, so I thought that it had indeed been deleted. But when I switched to far render distance, I suddenly see my railway from the apparently deleted world...! I then realized that I was indeed in my old world, but all my then equipped items were gone, and I had a new spawning point about halfway between my two bases. I proved this by drowning myself, and I respawned a different place than normally.
As his world probably got a new seed it will generate a nice amount of "chunk errors" for sure. Just need to explore a little bit.
Creating these "chunk errors" is very simple. Go to your world folder and delete a few random folders along with your level information. When you reenter the world, the World Generator will create new chunks for the missing pices using a new seed. Take backup before experimenting with your favorite world.
Even simpler: Click delete on a world in game and immediately close Minecraft. The game currently have very little to no error handling or transacton logic making sure a disk process is properly competed before terminating. There is a fairly good chance that the delete will be incomplete. When you start a new world in the same slot you'll see remnants of you old save.
In order to avoid these errors, make sure to give minecraft ample time to save or delete stuff before you exit the program.

You obviously do not know what a chunk error is.
That's a chunk error.
