This was caused my BSOD :\ any way i can fix this with at least my spleef arena intact? spleef arena was only about 30 blocks from spawn

Of note, unless you backed it up somewhere, your seed will likely change, so biomes may be different, and also any new explored land will appear with different terrain as well.
