Okay, I lost my Minecraft world at the start of the year. I haven't tried to recover it until today. Following the steps in the tutorials, I replaced the level.dat file with one from a new world and changed the seed to 0 using NBTedit. This seemed to work to a point as I can see the world in mcmap. Problem is; I don't know where I am when I open the world in Minecraft, and mcmap cannot find find the world at all after I have opened it for the first time. Any ideas where i'm going wrong? (T-T)
I have a similar problem - just over a year ago I stopped playing but kept a copy of my friends MP server we had and the other SP maps I was building on. I went to try them out today and copied the MP server and one SP server to the save file on .minecraft and neither of them appear when I load the game. I've looked it up and found a few ways to fix this but none of them worked.
FIRST: I tried the tactic described here: http://www.minecraft...aved_world_data
where you replace the level.dat files. I made a new map and quit and copied them over like they say. When I go to load it it appears as with the same name as the file from which I took the level.dat file but the 'undearneath' name is the correct name of the save file. Same as this guy has in his tutorial I followed at 1.29 minutes:
Anyways alls good so I load the map but I don't appear as he does in his world. Instead I appear in the same place I spawned when I created the other map from which I took the level.dat files from. (the one I just created before)
SECOND: I tried found this guys tactic:
He only copies the region file and it works but didn't work for me...and one of my saves doesn't have a region folder.
I was wondering if it could do with my maps being too old? is that possible? I made them before the major update where you can choose seeds and creative mode...etc..
Anyone know if I'm missing something that might be causing the 'first' method to be keeping the new maps map when I load instead of the old one I'm trying to get to?
