I hope this is a very stupid, simple question, but I've been playing Minecraft for a dozen or so hours, and have died a few times in areas where recovering my items was impossible. When this happened, I had no choice but to respawn at the starting point, then start building up all resources from scratch. Isn't there a way to save your game prior to death so that if/when you die, you can load your save and still have all your items? The only option I have when I hit Escape is to "Save and quit to title".
Do you know how to make chests to store your items?
Thanks for the replies! I've seen how chests are crafted on the Wiki, but haven't made one yet. I will do that soon.
Can someone please tell me the name of the "main file" and where it is located so I can make a backup of it periodically?
I had alot of great stuff when I died a couple of times, and however much file manipulation I need to do to prevent that from happening again, I'm definitely willing to do it.
its in %Appdata%, .minecraft, saves. Then find the name of the world you want to back up.
Awesome! I found it (level.dat), tested it, and it works! Thank you very much!
Luckily, I built my house very close to the starting point, so I never had a problem finding it after dying, but losing all my items was very frustrating and almost made me quit the game for a while. But, I'm good now!
You can just use the command "/gamerule keepInventory true" Without the quotes. Also make sure to Cap the i in Inventory. But im not sure if that command works for the older versions.
