this has happened 2 or 3 times now. My computer does a reboot after an update while I am in game and when the computer comes back the world is gone. I've been looking for a way to back up the world file but I am afraid of messing things up. Can someone either stop the game from deleting the world all together (optimal) If I have to go back to last save point I get that but to delete the world seems odd. Or can someone give me some instructions on how to back-up the world file so I can re-insert after a deletion.
Tinkering around I was able to find the saved world files. It would seem that the worlds I thought were deleted are still there but inaccessible in the game. I did try copying both files and putting them in a different location. I then deleted one of them and replaced it with the copy. I restarted Minecraft and the file still did not show up.
Any help is appreciated. Here's some screen shots.
Is there anyway to ensure these reboot notifications show up in front of game so I can see them? That may be a question outside of mine craft but I am really looking for anything.
Is there a way to back up a world in my version? Is there a version I can upgrade to that does?
You should be able to adjust the reboot settings in the update control panel. Last I knew Windows 10 defaulted to 'as soon as possible no matter what the computer is doing' you can adjust it back to a notification system. Though, if memory serves Microsoft claims that's 'not recommended' as apparently its better to lose work and have an updated computer.
Just looked it up on Windows 10 and its under Updates & Security as an 'Advanced Setting.'

Jumping on the bandwagon here as I've seen quite a few of these.
I figured I'd score as either Rogue or Ranger as those are my favorite ways to play.
Thanks for the information. I took a look and my settings were good, am wondering if it is a Java or Adobe update ...I am searching for those settings as well.

Thanks. Good game by the way.
Sorry I put this in the wrong place...
The worlds are being corrupted because you are not exiting minecraft cleanly. World's with corrupted level.dat files don't show up in game.
