I have an unmodded Minecraft world. It worked fine, but it's not appearing in the world list anymore at all - it's simply not there. The world is still in my saves folder.
Now, when I try to run it with MCEdit 2.0, I get the error:
An error occurred while opening C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves\SAVENAME
Not an NBT file with a root TAG_Compound (file starts with " ‹ " (0x00088b1f)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mcedit2\widgets\layout.py", line 65, in setWidgetError
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 62: ordinal not in range(128)
I don't play in this world, so I'm not sure what happened to cause this exactly. But it's not allowing me to load the world in MCEdit 2.0.
A birds-eye view DOES properly load in the world list prompt that appears when you first open MCEdit 2.0, with "Not an NBT file with a root TAG_Compound" as the world name.
Perhaps it's possible that the first letter in the raw level.dat file got overwritten with "<" for some unknown reason?

What do I do to fix this? I've found no other solutions. I HAVE found someone who had the identical question as mine except with a modded client, but he had posted his question in August and had gotten no answers.
Aside from that, however, no luck at finding anything that correlates to this.
Bump, STILL looking for an answer to this. :\
