I was on the latest snapshot until the 1.7.6 update, and when I logged in this morning everything in my inventory had vanished, including everything in my chests. I even had polished Diorite in my floor but now it just shows as raw stone. This happened before when I chose to update to 1.7.5 from a prior snapshot as well. This is extremely frustrating as I've lost everything in my world yet again. Why does this keep happening and how, if at all, can I prevent it?

I didn't load 1.8 worlds into a previous version. Just the opposite. I was in a pre-1.7.6 snapshot world and after updating to 1.7.6 thats when everything vanished.

No, actually, going from snapshot -> 1.7.6 is taking a step backwards. The snapshots are for 1.8, 1.7.6 only added a few things, none related to the 1.8 updates. Specifically, it doesn't include support for alphabetical item ID's like what 1.8 uses, just the old numerical ones. Best go get that backup I know you made. You do make regular backups, right? Right?
As IronMagus said.. The snapshots are for 1.8 not 1.7.x By loading a snapshot world with 1.7.6 you've gone backwards in versions. That is going to cause problems
Hope you backed your saves up before you did that.
I assume you set Latest Vanilla. Since the 1.7.6 release came AFTER the snapshots, it automatically updated (downgraded) from the snapshots. This happened to me but I luckily hard quit the game.
Same happened to me. I updated from 14w11b to 1.7.7, any all my inventory vanished. is there any way to take the data from an old save and overwrite it into the broken one? Maybe the chest info is saved in the level.dat file???

That would be great if it can be done. The world I was in was fantastic... I had accumulated a pretty sizable chest of material and farming items (seeds of various types), etc. If not, live and learn I guess but it would be nice to get it back.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
Hope you backed your saves up before you did that.
