I'll try to make this quick and descriptive. I haven't played MC in quite a while (about a year and a half). I'm trying to load up my old save file, but it's not showing in the load screen. Looking in the .minecraft/saves folder, the save file is there, but appears to be in a different format than the current save format.
So that's where I'm at, I have an old save file (from 4/5/11), and would like to know how to upgrade it to the new format, or if that's possible.
Current Save File Format:
Old Save File Format:
ETC... (it has the rest of the files, just couldn't capture the image)
Tough luck. I would suggest googling for a converter. Minecraft probably can't handle it. Also, you could convert it using jar files from all the successive Minecraft versions.
You need to get a version of Minecraft that supported the alpha format to mcregion format upgrade,
then the current version of minecraft can do the mcregion to anvil format upgrade.
