Lost Minecraft world data

Hey there Victis!

Have you tried loading up the minecraft worlds that you don't recognize to see if they're perhaps your worlds just with different names?

If the worlds are definitely not yours, then it looks like your Minecraft data was lost.

As Mister Fizzle said, there have been issues in the past where Minecraft Title updates have caused Minecraft worlds to be lost. It's possible that this has happened (since a Minecraft update came out recently).

However, the loss of your Skyrim save seems to indicate that the process to move the data from your USB drive to your hard drive did not complete properly or errored during and caused the data to be lost.

I'm sorry that I don't have better news for you.

Hi Clémence! My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

If there aren't any world files in the Minecraft directory, and you didn't make a backup of your data, the worlds may unfortunately be lost permanently.

It's recommended to make frequent periodic backups of important data on your PC to prevent situations such as this.

Thanks for that info, Enzo. Just to set your expectation that since this is about data recovery, it's not guaranteed to work. I suggest to visit the thread below for more steps in trying to recover your lost worlds.
