You can fix the world by downloading NBTExplorer and editing level.dat (in the root directory of the world save) by opening the "Player" entry and editing the "Pos" tag (a list of 3 numbers) to have to valid numbers (such as 0 100 0, or set them to "Spawn[XYZ]", which is the player's last spawn point if you ever slept in a bed or used /spawnpoint; otherwise, the world spawn point can be used, which is "Spawn[XYZ]" in the root of level.dat).

Otherwise, there is a thread for corrupted world saves (which should be mentioned instead of just saying "restore from a backup").

I think what would be ideal is a combination of both systems. Being able to potentially get a good mix of enchantments right off the bat with enchanting, or being in for a longer grind to make exactly what you want.

This is already the case - directly enchant items to get random enchantments, which may or may not be what you want (tip: mouse over the enchantment options to see one of the offered enchantments; you can also disenchant items on a grindstone in return for some XP and the ability to re-enchant it, or try enchanting a different item - they really have made enchanting massively easier since 1.8, or even 1.3, which greatly reduced XP costs) - or enchant or trade for books to get specific enchantments (this is what I do for most of my gear to avoid wasting diamonds or my extremely rare modded gear, as I also play in 1.6.4 (with the same enchantment mechanics) so I can't see what they will get, and items like chestplates could always get something like Thorns which may not show up in the tooltip).

Either way, I don't find enchanting to be an issue since I only do it one time; I use the same set of gear for the lifetime of a world (32.7+ days of time played for my current world), which is also partly why I see no point in having fancy trading halls or XP farms. I get most of my XP by mining quartz, which also doubles as a building material for my main base, so I get two things done at once; afterwards I get more XP than I need from normal gameplay to keep my gear in repair, with a higher overall cost than since 1.9 with Mending (speaking of which, if XP were removed how would Mending work? Granted, I think it is OP since you only need XP to repair an item, making what should be a major part of the game (Minecraft) pointless, and the cost is the same regardless of its quality, in sharp contrast to the pre-1.8 repair system, where you could simply rename an item to keep the penalty down but you had to pay the full enchantment cost (e.g. 5 levels for Sharpness V, 4 for Knockback II, 6 for Unbreaking III, plus 6 more levels for having 3 enchantments for a total of 21 levels before adding any other costs), as well as for the durability restored (currently a flat 2 levels for an item or 1 per unit, as opposed to 1-17 levels), so most items could only have 3 enchantments, sometimes 4, before they became too expensive to repair).

This would only make sense if quartz generated in the Overworld and/or it could replace stone (it can only replace Netherrack, much as Overworld ores can only replace stone, so either way there is no point to this) - or they added new "stone-type" blocks to the Nether or Overworld; for example, in TMCW I made it so that ores use metadata to determine the base texture so they blend in with underground biomes (stone is replaced with various other blocks):

Note that since these blocks use metadata to determine the base texture you can use Silk Touch to mine them and they will retain it; otherwise, they drop as the "default" stone so as to not clutter up your inventory, much as I made the "raw" variants of the 1.8 stone types drop as cobblestone unless Silk Touch is used - it would really be annoying otherwise unless the size of your inventory was increased.

Today I had the most insane play session ever in terms of mobs - with 986 mobs killed, far exceeding my previous all-time record of 796, as well as an all-time record of 10561 XP gained in a single play session spent caving:

For comparison, this was my previous record for mobs; much of the difference was due to mobs other than zombies, including nearly twice as many spiders (less common in caves due to their space requirements; zombies, skeletons, spiders, and creepers all have the same weight in the list of mobs to spawn); 21 Endermen also has to be among the most I've killed before:

You could also try mods, many of which add some form of actual progression to the game, or make exploration more interesting; for example, I've been making my own mods for the past 6 years to make caving more interesting (this is about the only thing I do when playing) - I don't even care about official updates (which actually made caves less interesting in 1.7 with little in the way of changes since then). Otherwise, I'm pretty much the exact opposite of you - my current world has 31.83 days of playtime over 214 sessions (3.57 hours per session), and that isn't even close to my longest-played world:

Some people consider several hundred iron to be a lot, while I have over a hundred thousand - all mined by hand (otherwise, anybody with this much of any resource is using automated farms, which I've never used):







These are surface and underground (layer 20) renderings of the world, as of a few weeks ago - virtually the entire underground is lit up (minus chunks around the edges of the generated area, which I trimmed away before making these renderings so as to not accidentally reveal anything I haven't seen yet):






This is an example of how I've made caving more interesting - nothing in vanilla can ever come close to this, and they can get even larger:

This says all that you need to know - I don;t think I've ever seen this little activity in 6+ years - just TWO active threads in the past DAY in what used to be the most active section; other sections aren't much better:





However, nothing is more insane than this:

Members: 5,804,007

This is an increase of over 20,000 in just a few weeks, since my last post in this thread, with close to three-quarters of a million new members so far this year:

https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/forums/forum-discussion-info/2965026-are-these-real-members



Yet, we see this:

Most users online: 34,329 (Sep 25, 2014)
Online Users: 57 (56 members and 1 guest)


For a game as big and as rapidly growing as this, even when everybody was saying it was dying (around a year ago there was a thread about this at least once a week; I'd almost prefer to see more such threads just for the activity)?

Feb 2017: Minecraft has 55 Million Monthly Players, 122 Million Sales
Dec 2017: Minecraft had 74 million active players in December, a new record for the game
Oct 2018: 'Minecraft' is still one of the biggest games in the world, with over 91 million people playing monthly
Sep 2019: 'Minecraft' now has 112 million monthly players

A better question is how Pixelmon itself still exists:

Minecraft Pokemon mod taken down after legal threats from Nintendo

That was over two years ago; the official site indicates that it hasn't been updated since then and the download link is broken, so anybody distributing it (including any "remakes") has to be illegally distributing it (doubly so; against both Nintendo and the mod creators themselves; I presume people get it from sites like the ones listed here. There's also a site offering "Pixelmon Reforged", which sounds a lot like a copy of the original mod).

Of course, even the most popular mod of all time, Optifine, is technically violating the EULA by offering capes, which aren't allowed under any terms, even for free (much less "donations"; the EULA also says you can't make any money off of mods), so they aren't exactly strict in enforcing the EULA (but that doesn't mean you can get away with it; Mojang probably relies on reports to find offenders so if nobody ever reports them they will never be caught).

Both reports are referring to the same class, which belongs to PlusTiC (PlusTiC-Mod-1.12.2):

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: c4/conarm/lib/capabilities/ArmorAbilityHandler at landmaster.plustic.traits.DeathSaveTrait.timing(DeathSaveTrait.java:70)

The Wiki doesn't seem to make any mention of this but it appears that time spent in the Nether does count (for example, it is mentioned in this Reddit thread); while it is true that even the spawn chunks are unloaded when you leave the Overworld, thus no processing occurs, game time continues to progress as usual - I've gone to the Nether while it was day and it was night when I returned and my mod's "inventory stats" continued to show the passing of days (based on day/night cycles, not overall time, which is a separate variable which is unaffected by sleeping or time commands).

Of course, this is in 1.6.4 but I don't see why this would have changed since then; the same also applies to the End, and the game may very well simply check for when the time since you last slept reaches 1 hour, and there is a statistic which tracks this, "Since Last Rest" (listed near the bottom), which is used to control the spawning of phantoms.

The game has used UUIDs to identify players since 1.7.6 (mentioned as "support for name changing"), so changing your name won't have any impact unless you play on an older version (for example, when I changed my name I had to manually edit my worlds with NBTExplorer to change the owner name, as well as rename the statistics file, since 1.6.4 uses player names to identify players).

Wow! This must took a long time to do all of this! Keep up the great work! I'm hoping to see more of this in the future!

This data says that Minecraft is still becoming more popular. Much more so - the number of active players has nearly doubled in only 1 1/2 years:

I'm getting tired of these "Minecraft is dying" threads. They have become redundant, every comment keeps an endless circle going. The OP thinks Minecraft is dying because its old but has no evidence for it. People comment on why he's wrong. Then MasterCaver makes a superb post with great evidence showing that Minecraft is not dying, but only growing. I applaud you for continuously taking the time to reply to these threads with such determination.

It's gotten to a point now we could make a separate forum just with these "Minecraft is dying" threads if we wanted to. The suggestions forum has a rule in which any thread that is similar to another active thread is locked, as it's redundant. I think the same rule should apply here.

Making the Elytra, Name Tag, Saddle, and Totem craft-able completely removes the incentive to go exploring for these things. Woodland Mansions would be less important, dungeon loot would be less important, and you wouldn't really need to explore the Outer End much. Plus, the Elytra isn't supposed to be obtained before heading to the End, this would just ruin a lot of progression in the game.

Yesterday, I started a new vanilla hardcore world. I play hardcore about half the time. The other half I spend in Midgard, my vanilla single player world began July 2, 2014.

Sometimes I die, which is common in hardcore, of course. Other times, I simply move to a new world. I've yet to beat the Ender Dragon in hardcore, but I've never actually tried to do so. While I may set out with that intention, I always end up playing just for fun, building and farming and having a good time until the inevitable.

Other than large biome, I chose no options and no seed. I like large biome worlds as the biomes are 16 times larger than standard, which in my opinion is still pretty small, but I describe my normal play style as "distant adventurer."

I spawned high up on a jagged mountain jutting out of the ocean like a spike. The main landmass, as far as I could tell, was quite a swim into the distance. I needed wood and food, so there was no staying on the rock. Oh well, at least I won't have to worry about ever spawning here again!

Okay, that laugh trailed off into bitter realization, but I digress . . .

Looking across the bay, the mountain range was really wild, not to mention very tall, almost like amplified terrain:

I saw a couple spruce trees atop the mountain at my 32-chunk render distance's farthest edge.

No time to fall in love with the scenery; my hunger meter was ticking. (In hardcore, if you starve, you die.) No telling how long it would take me to swim the bay and climb the mountains (especially without any possessions at all). Travelling 500 blocks, half of them ocean and the other half mountains, was likely to take me right up to dusk. With no iron, I'd have no shield to defend against the skeleton archer's arrows. With no wool, I wouldn't be able to sleep the dangerous night away.

With no food, none of that would matter.

I dove into the water and started swimming.

When I climbed out of the water and made it to the top of the first ridge, my view was much more heartening: a village! More importantly, closer trees.

I hoped that I would be able to find wool quick enough to get to sleep before the village was overrun at night by zombies.

Being a large biome world, I really thought the terrain was weird: extreme hills, mesa, and a sliver of desert slicing between the two.

Luckily, I did find just enough sheep to make a bed by the time I got to the village.

I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be hilarious if one of the villagers here sold Mending for a cheap price considering I can't get it for less than 30-some emeralds in my three-year-old main world? Wouldn't that be so funny?"

The #1 very first villager I met:

It wasn't funny.

Man, this stuff requires so much dedication, and I love it! I love every single one of these posts. These worlds are insanely cool, and I would love to see more activity on here!
