Hi. I'm new to minecraft, just bought the game a few days ago. I created a world and made quite a lot of progress in it, making a couple large towers and a little farm and such. Though I hadn't even been playing the game for 24 hours. and then suddenly while playing, the game acts funny. I can't pick up any items and whenever I destroy a block, it would reappear. so I restarted the game to see if that would work. Since then the world would just stay on the loading screen for about a minute, then go back to the start menu without loading it up. a couple times it did load after a while, but the world was all black, except for the sky.So I couldn't do a thing.

I don't understand. It's not my computer I don't think. it seems to have all the requirements needed to run the game, that and my demo world I had before buying the game works fine. and I also started a new world, it seems to be fine so far.

But I really like that first world I started, even though it was for a short time, I did a lot on it. and it is my first actual world, so yeah it's rather sentimental. I would very much like not to lose it, and to be able to play it again.

Please if anyone knows a solution, it would be a big help. Thanks.

Please post computer stats. Specifically looking for CPU, GPU, Hard Drive Size and Type, and Memory.

Also were you doing anything or running any other applications outside of Minecraft at the time of the problem.

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4200
Hard Drive Type: SATA
Hard Drive Size: 1TB
Memory: 4GB

The only things I had open while playing was Windows Live Messenger and my internet browser, so idk.

Try making a new world.
Give us the world download. If it failed on my end, then it's the world.
In that case, the save could be corrupt somehow, which I can look into.
There's also a non-zero chance that MC would crash given that seed and the specific chunk you're loading.

I did try making a new world, everything was all shaking like there was an earthquake. but when I restarted it it loaded just fine. (though that shakiness happened with another seed I made, not sure if that's a common glitch for people or not.)

^Hmm I'll try that if it happens again, thanks.

and not a prob.

Has anyone tried my world yet to see if it works? Just wondering, thanks.

The file r.-1.0.mca is corrupt. You can delete this and it'll load fine, but it looks like you've done a lot in that chunk.

Try going to this thread for instructions on how to get it fixed.

Ahh, I see. I'll do that. Thank you very much! ^^
