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.
