Hey Everyone!

I'm new to the forum, and this is my first post. I'm experiencing some problems with my minecraft. So here's the story, today in school i opened minecraft on my dell to show my friends. I climbed a large ladder and accidently fell to my death. -.- i respawned and walked back to my stuff and right before i was about to collect it, my computer ran out of battery. I later turned it back on and open the new 1.3_01 beta launcher and went to singleplayer and found that my save file has dissapeared. I checked the save file in .minecraft and i could clearly see my world there, but Minecraft isn't recognizing it.

What's wrong? I just built a huge circuit redstone that ive been working on for three days, a calculator, and would hate to see that, and the rest of my world, not work anymore.

Does anybody know how to fix it?????

Sounds like its corrupted.

Because it didnt get a chance to save, sounds like it has corrupted. I don't know how to fix it, suggest you contact the official Minecraft Forums.

Thanks!

Ok everyone i managed to fix it by renaming the level.dat_old file to just level.dat and vise versa and the launcher actually loaded the the last save file instead. Once I went on the game it overwrote the corrupt file solving the problem! :D
