ACIDENTALLY Deleted world...

[hazworth]

Hi new user here so please try to keep it relatively simple if you can. I was showing a friend my 2 week old Technic SSP world. I had a previous world which I had abandoned before starting the current one still in my saves. I decided to delete it, and accidentally deleted my world with at least 20 hours of work put in. Tried a method I found on YouTube for vanilla Minecraft save but I think Techic has a different system of files or something. Please help me recover my lost world!

Thanks.

well, with the way minecraft world deletion works, you are pretty much screwed. Try throwing that mod you found into the .techniclauncher\technicssp\mods if it goes in your mods folder, or into the .techniclauncher\technicssp\bin\modpack.jar if you are normally supposed to install it into the minecraft..jar

How do you know it's a mod? It's probably one of those programs that retrieve stuff (because windows doesn't delete them too well).

Also, no.

No it was a method I found, not a mod. It said to go into .minecraft\saves than click on the world, which is still in the folder even though I deleted it, and copy/paste the region folder from my old world into a fresh world. I tried this, making a few changes for the folder differences in techic, but basically the same method. It didn't work Any more ideas?

No, just a way of copying the world that wasn't actually deleted from the folder. Still can't figure it out though

See if Windows 7 saved a backup of your world folder that you could just copy over the deleted one. This is assuming you're using Windows 7.

this has worked for me before for vanilla minecraft. if the world file is still in your %appdata%/.minecraft/saves i just made a new world and named it the exact same thing with the seed you used (if it had a seed) and it actually gave me the world back
