Corrupted Worlds- Please Help
My last post got ignored for some reason so I'm going this is a repost:
Two of my minecraft education worlds have corrupted.
I have no mods, texture packs or skins installed and there is no link between the two worlds corrupting. The only common denominator is that they both lagged horribly minutes before I lost them, I got several notifications telling me things had been disabled (I'm not sure what they meant. My friend said it looked like they were telling me the base game had been disabled but I don't know what would have caused that.) Then, eventually my screen went black and I had to force restart my laptop.
Every time I tried going onto the first world, I could wander around for about 30 seconds before my screen went black and I had to force restart my laptop again. I observed that the lag was awful during these 30 seconds and the world refused to load, I could literally fly out to the end of the world and go underneath it. I copied the world, turned off all settings that might have made it lag several times and repeated these steps weeks after the world first corrupted. Nothing worked.
The second world was similar except after a certain point, it wouldn't even load, it would crash my laptop before I could even get onto the world. Also, the memory of the world went up to 120mb and then dropped to 27mb (the original memory of the world was 110mb). I'm assuming this is why I couldn't even get onto the world because the content was completely corrupted.
I lost the first world five months ago and the second three months ago. Me and my friends worked extremely hard on both worlds and I would like them fixed and restored.
I can link the worlds to my next post if you want to take a look at them but I sent them to my friend with a high intensity PC and they were even making her PC crash when she tried to access them. So I'm assuming it would make your device crash also.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I hope someone will help me this time and not ignore me like they did two months ago.

I'm sorry to hear about your other post not receiving any updates. Thank you for providing that information. Worlds can get corrupted if the world closes unexpectedly. Once corrupted the worlds can only be restored by importing a saved version or if on a Windows device try using a restore point if that is enabled. This feature needs to be enabled before using. Is the device you are using a school device? The school may have turned off Minecraft Education and this is causing the disconnect. It may also be due to network settings and if there is any block in place interfering with communications to our servers. My main suggestion is to check your device itself and backup all worlds so you can import them to another device or if it gets corrupted.

Thank you for your reply. I was using my own device and I did just close the app instead of saving and exiting the day both worlds corrupted so I'm assuming that was the problem. Thanks for the advice, sad to hear my worlds can't be restored.

Actually, would a wifi block cause this error? my parent set the wifi so it cut off at a certain time everyday and both worlds corrupted during this time period.

Hey Rea!
Thanks for the added info, if you notice a correlation, that seems like a likely cause to me as well to be forceable jolted from a game like that could cause some corruption.
If you know what time the wifi will be cut off each night, I recommend logging out before then and backing up your world as an export to see if that helps.

mommy sorry to hear about this painful lesson @Rea RetarcProbably nothing short of every expensive data recover service is going to save those already corrupted worlds and even an expensive data recovery attempt may be unable to save anything.
For Future,
1- set a warning alarm 5 minutes before your cut off time so you can log out properly.
2- after any considerable work is done in a world, after you save and exit. Go to Manage and export the world and save it as a backup somewhere with a date in the title in case of future disaster you will have a world to fall back on. (you can go through a delete older backups later to save disk space.)
3- Consider saving important backups not only on your device but also to your Onedrive account.1 -
sorry for the late reply, thank you everyone for your help. Have a lovely day all!
