Minecraft Forums

Suddenly today after pressing the Singleplayer button I get a red screen and the following message:

Unable to load worlds

Unable to read or access folders where game worlds are saved!

I have searched the forum and googled and only came across one reply which suggested checking the security and access settings for the folder that contains the worlds. I have done this and there are no restrictions there. Nothing has changed in my system since I played Minecraft with no issue a couple of days ago. I am running the latest version of java, so no issue there. How do I fix this? FIXED

TIA.

Bro did you check your world folder in .minecraft folder? Or you didn't save Game Dir on your launcher?

Have you changed the Game Directory setting in the profile you are using?

Can you hit "Edit Profile" and then "Open Game Dir" and see your saves there?

Littel shoot in the blue:

Are u Windows User Account hold any special Characters like: "öäüÖÄÜß´" ?
Java dont like special Charakter in Folder paths.

For more we need a logfile of u Minecraft Session.
