Hey people! A couple of months ago i suddenly lost everything on Minecraft, all of my worlds, resourcepacks, profiles, screenshots, basically everything. It was very confusing and i tried everything to get it back, but it was gone. When i logged onto Minecraft my worlds were gone, and i checked the saves folder and all of that, but nothing was there. It is like minecraft just reset and all of my things on there was gone. I gave up on trying to find out how to get it back so i started over and created new worlds and such.
Suddenly today when i logged on to minecraft to play on my worlds, it updatet to the new version with the new launcher and all of a sudden everything i had a couple of months ago was back. My worlds, resourcepacks, profiles, screenshots, everything was back but the worlds and so on i created before is now gone, the same with everything else. I also cannot download OptiFine, it says it installs but when i go to the profile thingy it is not there. I do not know what to do anymore.
How do i get my previous worlds, screenshots, profile, resourcepacks back and what happend to my game?
All that stuff is stored in a configurable "game directory"
Each profile can be configured to use a different game directory. You must have changed it from the default before, and now (maybe) with the new launcher you are using a different profile and going back to the default.
Both old and new game directories are somewhere on your computer. (The default is %APPDATA%/.minecraft )
