A minecraft tip I just found out:

Okay, let me tell you a story.

I play my first minecraft level.
Everything is going fine.
I get a nether portal up, and then I start setting up another mine over a mountain to get more iron.
While I'm mining in an aboveground cave (I saw some coal and went to go get it) my PC freezes.
After several tries, I have to hit the restart button on my PC tower.

When I load Minecraft again, my save is gone.

I start a new level. I put 14 obsidian blocks in my inventory with invedit.
I get a flintstone and some iron, and start the portal up.

Strangely, The nether is exactly the same. Blocks I had changed in my previous save were exactly the same. In fact, the exit portal was in EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT it was before.

Realizing my luck, I immediately enter the exit portal.

It lags heavily loading the world, and I find out I was correct.

Entering the exit portal of the nether reloaded my OLD save, and restored it.

tl;dr I figured out a minecraft glitch that lets you recover broken saves.

I think that is a once in a life time glitch.

Doubt it. For some reason though, my save game got corrupted but the Nether save didn't.

idt think this is recreatable. Best thing to do is learn the way the maps are set up and delete the most recent thing. The nether idea isn't consistant.

Err probably has to do with the fact the nether auto saves when you enter and leave it...

Beta almost coming so o well.

The main branch of the game is currently called "Minecraft Alpha", and is under heavy development. It can be a bit unstable at times, so don't get too attached to your save files yet.

Yes we know peetah.... We were just talking about the trick. Not the fact that there is loss of files.
