A good 10 chests worth of items and my entire inventory has vanish since 2 weeks ago for no reason. I know it's not likely but is there any way to maybe get it back? Any idea what might have caused it? The only thing I've done different recently is that I had an issue with mobs not spawning and I opened up to lan to turn the monsters on but other than that I havn't made any changes. I am not running any mods.
I just realized that I do have a backup file from a few months ago. I went ahead and used that to restore a lot of the items. I'll just keep making back ups from here on in. I lost months worth of work but considering I've been playing on this world for a year it's better than losing the whole thing. I'd still like to know if anyone has any ideas as to what the cause might be so I can maybe prevent it from happening again.
This is caused when you open a world that has been updated to 1.8 in a pre-1.8 version.
You just have to open it for a second and the old version will discard all the items that it doesn't understand. Which in the context of 1.8 and pre-1.8 is all items.
Wow, thanks for the warning. I wish I had known. I had some problems with textures the same week I had the problems with the mobs and I did open it in an older version to attempt to remove the texture pack. I wish I had known this in advance.
