Talk:Tutorials/Recover corrupted saved world data

How do you retain worlds when you use a new PC ?????
 * Before you get rid of the old computer, go to the Minecraft saves folder (location varies depending on whether you're on Mac, PC or Linux)
 * Copy the saved games you care about onto a thumb drive, CD, NAS drive or any other convenient location
 * Install Minecraft on the new computer
 * Quit Minecraft (just as a precaution)
 * Go to the empty Minecraft saves folder on the new computer and copy the stuff off the thumb drive (or whatever you used) into it.
 * Restart Minecraft
 * You should see your old worlds appear in the list of available saves.

What about...
Wouldn't doing tis cause a few problems? 1. The seed will be wrong. 2. What about your inventory and other things? I think that there should be an included section on how to use nbtedit to read the .dat file. Also maybe you should include a section on how corruption is caused an what it means?Pokechu22 20:22, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Minecraft pocket edition world freeze
For some reason my world in minecraft pocket edition has frozen. It's the new update 0.9.5. Once i go onto it, it will freeze for about 15 seconds then go back to the home screen. Anyone have any clues to how I can get my world back? Thanks

This need to be rewritten
This only for macs! Sure I use a mac but I also use pcs and If someone who really needs save a world and can't understand this must be rewritten for both macs and pcs!

Okay... but
While this does work, and all the things I build are completely fine, there's still something seriously wrong with the world. Right next to where I spawned, there was desert and grassland (while the world was customized and the biome set to 'mesa') suddenly cutting into the mesa landscape. It's like part of the world created to get my structures back is generated along with the previous world... Anybody else had this?
