I AM FRUSTRATED!
I load up minecraft [first time] and start a new world on peaceful just so i can build like crazy.  AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?! my game froze! so i re-started my computer and loaded it back up again, load minecraft and MY WORLD WAS AUTOMATICALLY DELETD!
i have worked long and hard on things to make my world AS I LIKE AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED EVERY TIME!
Freeze, reload, game deleted.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?
its soo frustrating just to see your save world GONE when you reload the game!
my first world had a diamond cave and i found 37 diamond in the ONE cave and now POOF! gone! and only because i had to reboot this slow peice of S***!
i know what you might say: "calm down troll" "STFU" "noob." but if THIS happened to you on on of your BEST worlds, i'm 100% sure you would RAGE.
PLEASE if ANYONE has any idea how i can recover my world [i had it on world 2 ( i know not everyone's world is the same)] PLEASE help me out.
Thanks.

Creeper exploding your saves? More likely than you think.
  1. Calm down
  2. Nobody with an ounce of intelligence would call you a troll.

It sounds like your world isn't getting a chance to save, like any other program (such as Microsoft Word, Photoshop or Adobe Vegas) you need to save to lose progress (Recently happened to me in Morrowind.) While your game should always be auto-saving it possibly stopped. To my info pressing the 'Esc' key to pause your game also forces it to save. Periodically pause the game to save. If your worlds are still vanishing you may have a memory issue on the computer.

Following the same advice I give everyone (which fixes around 75% of all problems).

  1. Uninstall all versions of Java
  2. Delete minecraft.
  3. Install the latest version of java
  4. Reboot
  5. Download minecraft.
