Hi guys!
So.. Lately I was making a new map by myself as I usually do, and of course, I used world edit for that.
I was using some brushes to build the terrain when suddenly my minecraft crashed. For me it is nothing special, it happened over 3 times on the same process. Then after I relaunched minecraft the same world wasn't there. afterwards, I checked my .minecraft folder and went to "saves". I tried launching each and every world out of my list, and only one wouldn't Appeared, so i'm pretty sure this is the one (they were all named the same {new world}).
If anybody can help me with making that same world appear again, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks.
If a save doesn't appear it usually means that it is either not in a format that that version of minecraft supports (not your problem), or the level.dat is missing or corrupt. Do you have a backup copy of the level.dat file?

Your level.dat is missing, gone, destroyed.
That has your world's seed in it, which controls map generation and has all your world's options in it (cheats, world type, etc).
If you don't have a backup (which you should always have when you are editing your world, or even just playing it if you care about it) then...
You could copy this save to another directory and try an experiment. In this copy, try renaming level.dat_mcr to level.dat Minecraft may then try to re convert this world from mcregion format to anvil format, and update that level.dat from mcregion to anvil format when you play that copy. At that point I would copy that level.dat back into your pre experiment world (because I don't know how well re converting a converted world will work). You will lose your location and your inventory. It will reset back to some time in the past (the last time that level.dat was played as a mcregion world.
