Hi i need help i created a world on minecraft 1.8.1 beta about a year ago and the world was lost about 6-10 months ago. im wondering if i can recover the world itself or at least extract the seed from it

any help is accepted!
the only files i have from the world are as follows:

all region files
all .dat files

With the newest version of minecraft, you can "re-create" worlds when you go to SinglePlayer (the screen where you select world). then when you do so, you can press F3 to view the seed. (I THINK you can also use /seed)

thanks but i cant get on to the world so im stuck unless in can extract the seed from one of the .dat or region files

Did you even read? I said you can re-create the world, then use the re-created world.

To recover the world:
Make a new folder in your current Minecraft saves folder. Paste into that folder the b1.8.1 level.dat file and the b1.8.1 region folder (with all of the .mcr files in it).

To recover the seed:
Visit this link and upload your b1.8.1 world's "level.dat" file to find the seed of the world. Copy and paste that seed and use it as the seed for a newly generated map.

Message me for further assistance.

thanks lilplayah101

to duskshadow i cant even see it in my minecraft single player menu hence the CURRUPT tag
