i'm strongly prevenging myself from putting lots of bleeped out curse words in this post. i went on a long trip well across minecraft map and ended up in some snow place, where i made a portal to the nether cuz i was trying to find a faster way home. well, a dumb fire jellyfish thing turned off my portal and i ended up dead. no prob i thought, i didn't bring anything good and i'll spawn inside the safe confines of my home, with a nice defensive wall and all. wrong. i spawn to see a zombie in my wall, and the wall was largely removed in the very front. honestly, it looked like a creeper storm fell on it or something, and i used to have an underwater tunnel to get under the gate but that's mysteriously dissapeared too. also, my lava tower above my house isn't falling in the front anymore, and my water cactus looks like it took a creeper right on top too. what the heck blew up my entire house!?
can't get you pics of the wall, i repaired it already. but i did take a photo of the front of my house earlier. i'll post that then show you my water and lava towers, the water tower is missing an arm and the lava tower isn't flowing down the front (as reminder) also, you'll see a fence as the front in the early photo, i replaced it with a glass wall before trip, all walls had spider proof upper lip
also it cut off my pics, on lava tower i tried to say "wtf?" and on water i said "no arm"
If these (any of them, some of them or all) apply than its Chunk Error(Unstoppable)
*Youve been away for a LONG (like a real day) time
*Youve stayed at your house for a LONG time before leaving (although this would usually cause errors in new chunks)
*Youve had the save before any updates (if it was before the halloween update this would make most sense. but it doesnt seem so. Most updates can cause errors.
Chunk error mostly happens when the maps map generator changes in some way or starts fresh for some reason
This is pretty rare to happen to an already loaded chunk.
You should back up regularly(i do once every three IRL days)
thanks for telling me, that sucks tho. too bad backing up takes forever on my computer.
You don't have to back up your whole computer. I just back up .minecraft/saves/world3/ (or whichever directory it is). I don't transfer it to another computer, I just copy it to some other place on the same hard drive.
Then, when a chunk error hits me, I can go back to the last saved version.
Once, my laptop ran out of power and died while I was playing, and the level I had loaded would never load again. There are some serious instability problems with the way the data is written to the drive. You just gotta hope it is fixed before the game is released.
pro(backup)tip: right-click on a world# folder, and send to zipped folder. (or the equivalent for your os/environment)
Packing up the files into a single archive is many times faster than making a copy of each separate file. (partly because the current save format contains many directories and many separate, small files)
If you ever have to restore it still takes forever to unzip/copy, but you only have to endure that if something goes wrong.
Did you work on all those things right before you left on your trip during the same gaming session? It sounds like to me that after you left on your trip either that chunk did not save the changes you made or your client crashed somewhere after you left on your trip and that usually puts you back in the same place but all your changes to the world that gaming session are forgotten. You didn't realize this till you got back.
You travelled by foot more than 300+ blocks without stopping then back really fast causing chunk problems, your solution: do exactly the same and you may recieve a 10% change recovery and 90% change original terrain will persist.

Yes this happens. the Chunks may revert to their original state.
In the future, please remember to make backups of your worlds frequently!
It will save you oodles of frustration and pain!
also it cut off my pics, on lava tower i tried to say "wtf?" and on water i said "no arm"

It shouldnt... all you need todo is just copy the "World#" folder.
...this can also be an invisible chunk, which means you can still walk on it but you cant see it (but in this case it looks like its not)...

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
