Is there a data recovery tool for Linux to recover a Minecraft world?
Is there a data recovery tool for Linux to recover a Minecraft world?
So I uninstalled Zenless Zone Zero yesterday via Wine, and it seems it just deleted every game, KDE configs, etc.
These weren't really an issue for me, but my old worlds have gone to waste too. Unfortunately, my drive is on ext4, and I haven't used Timeshift cause low storage space. Is there any chance for me to recover back some data?
You're viewing a single thread.
You know Minecraft works natively on Linux? Except if you run the more optimized, faster "Bedrock" version, which for very important Microsoft reasons is Windows-only. Or Android, so people play the android version, lol.
For recovery you can use testdisk. Shutdown the PC as fast as possible. Dont open programs! Dont play games!
On SSDs the data will quickly be overwritten otherwise.
Make a Clonezilla live usb and use that for recovery
Well I actually use native Minecraft too, if the Prism Launcher actually creates native instances by default. Luckily I have realised that there is probably a saved version of my world on a cloud storage, but I will def try testdisk out! Thank you.
I hope your PC is off. Dont use it. Otherwise that data is gone.
Bedrock also runs under Linux. At least, it did 6 months ago, when I tried...
Interesting didnt know that.
Wait, or is this the mobile version which runs through an Android container? Emulator?
Yes
So not native on Linux. Is the Android version even usable?
I managed to connect to a local server and play a while. I gave up quickly because lack of languages, already present in Java version.
No fun without pirate speak!
How is it today? I find it crazy that not even the most rewarding game of the world couldnt be fully rewritten in a faster language.
It was (and may still be) possible to make an older version of Pocket Edition run on Linux through unofficial shenanigans, but the official launcher says "Not playable on this device".
minecraft.net also explicitly says: "Minecraft: Java Edition runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux; Minecraft: Bedrock Edition runs on Windows. Deluxe Collection content only runs on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Windows."
Other unofficial shenanigans that may or may not work include but are not limited to: Running under a VM, running under something like Wine.
So, yes, technically it runs, but Microsoft are pretty clear that it's not supposed to.
Well I guess they needed to do at least one shit apart from locking accounts and requiring to be in their hellscape?
Btw, trying to get the sky dimension running, the official minecraft launcher is the only one creating .rar and .json for the version.
Do you mean the Aether mod that recently got updated or something else?
Installing mods to Java Minecraft can be a chore regardless of the ecosystem. And usually it's a third party mod loader that adds a new version to the default launcher config, not something provided by Mojang.
That said, Aether is a Forge mod and I haven't used Forge in a few years at this point, so maybe things are different now, or I'm only remembering the way that the rival Fabric ecosystem works instead.
No the real sky dimension, which was hidden from beta 1.6 to 1.9 but not activated.
I used the beta 1.6 for a while but it is so old....
I used a spider spawner to get strings, to make wool, to make a bed.
The only mobs were chickens, which just dropped useless feathers.
It semi does, iirc it's a port of the Android version, which probably works because android uses a Linux kernel
