Help please. Our computer crashed and the world where my son had built his house vanished. I followed instructions I found on minecraft.gamepedia.com for recovering corrupted saved world data - replacing the following with ones from a new world -  level.dat level.dat_mcr (not always present) level.dat_old session.lock    This seemed to work but we couldn't find the houses we'd built or the lava pillar we built to mark the spot. We've flown around in all directions for long distances and found nothing. I didn't know about F3 and coordinates before we lost the world so we don't have any for our houses. There are beds in the houses but I'm not sure if we ever slept in them as we couldn't figure out how that worked and we're in creative mode.   Is there any way to get the coordinates for our houses from the saved files for the world? Sorry if this question is not asked well - I'm a bit lost in this stuff but trying to recover it for my young son.

I wandered too far to go look for sheep and now I'm on a completely different island.  How do I find my way back to my house?

I am on creative and was exploring the Nether. I happened to travel very far without realizing it and could not find my way back. I decided to try and make another nether portal but that sent me to the middle of an ocean.  I can't kill myself and go to spawn because I am on creative if anyone can help that would be great.

In my creative world, I had slept in a bed to set my spawn point. Then I broke the bed. I then accidentally fell out of the world (into the void) and died. It said "Your home bed was missing or obstructed" and it respawned me somewhere random. Now I can't find my way back! Help!

I have looked everywhere for lava or obsidian in 0.7.1. I've looked all the way from top to bottom and all around, in about a 100 block diameter, but I can't find any. Where can I get some?

Is there a way to set an "Adventure Mode Boundary" in Minecraft?  I am trying to create this village where players can spawn in, and then set out to explore the world and build and do normal minecraft stuff. I don't want them to destroy this village, so I want them to be in adventure mode when they are in the village and then switch them to survival when they leave, and vice-versa. When they return to the village, they get switched back to adventure mode.  In other words, I want to set an "Adventure Mode Boundary" to protect buildings. I am working without mods. I am hoping there is an simple way using command blocks.

I have heard it was possible to change the names and lores of Minecraft items WITHOUT the use of third-party programs like MCEdit. Given the things that my friends have told me, and from the information gathered online, my guess is that, since Minecraft has started using JavaScript, /give @p 35 1 14 {name:"Red Wool",lore:"bob"}. Whenever I run this command block, all I get is a piece of Red Wool with no Lore, nor a name. I also get no errors in this process.

I pressed F2 to take a few Minecraft screenshots. Later I couldn't find them. Where are they stored on my computer?

I destroyed all the cultists near the tablet but the lunatic cultist won't spawn. I have checked everywhere to see if there are any left (including down the hole). I have provided a screenshot of it to show what I mean...    I need help because I would like to be able to use this world for pillar destroying as I prepped it for use on the pillars. I even made an AFK Moon Lord area so I could focus on just the pillars.

No, actually I didn't, but that was a close call and I'm really curious how would one go about that one.  On my third or fourth visit to the Nether, I still didn't realize the risk, and didn't place marks that would help me get back to the origin (currently I like to use flint and iron to create big flaming arrows towards the exit, visible from afar.) I wandered past one hill, and then I couldn't locate the place I came from. I wisened up and started placing marks in form of torches, towers of netherrack with glowstones on top etc. The bunch of wood I had in my stash has proven invaluable as I ran out of steaks, and had to craft a bowl and start making mushroom soup. I realized the fastest way back would be to simply die, but since I had no clue where I was, that would mean losing my quite precious equipment, which cost me a lot of time and effort to gather and enchant, for that trip specifically. I also knew I had traveled rather far from the portal before starting placing marks, so the chances of finding it again by going in any random direction were rather slim.  By sheer luck I found one of the caverns I had explored before, and found my way back, but that was really a close call and I'd prefer to know any hints what to do in Nether if you're already lost (no Obsidian to build a new portal, not willing to die and forgot the direction to the exit.)

I want to transfer my world from my PC to a second PC, but I cannot find the world files.  Can you please help me?

I'm stuck underground.   I can't mine any further to reach lava. There is no water nearby, and zombies can't reach me.  I can't see to find any blocks to suffocate my character.  NBTEdit and similar programs don't work on Mac, so I can't edit my save file to escape. I have hardly any blocks so cannot jump and lay my way up. I can't see, and do not have any torches, so can't make a staircase back up. I don't want to make new save as I have an awesome house filled with stuff that took me ages to find.    How can I get back to the surface?

I've figured out that if you do /spawnpoint it changes your spawnpoint for the LAN world. So every time I die, I spawn where I want to. And I don't have to use my bed! I'd like to learn other commands, what are they?

I'm fine using any mods to DO it, and use a program like mcedit. However, the final time that it's played, it can't have any mods installed.   I'd also like to know how to chose which spawn to make the user spawn at.

This is similar in a way to , but the solution the MBraedley gave didn't work for me. As the linked post says, I've also tried the many ! values in front of the coordinates etc., to no avail.  Essentially, I'm creating a "safe zone" area for the spawn (regardless of spawn protection settings) of my realm, similarly to that of survival servers like what LemonCloud had. I've got detecting in the area down, but now I need it for those outside the area.

I have an 'online' Minecraft server that I have been building on for the past couple of months. There are some big edits that I want to make on the map, but the server only has 512mb of RAM so it crashes.   My question is, is it possible to download the world from the server so that I can load it up on my computer locally and run it in single player to make large edits? I would later hope to re-upload the map onto the server after I finish making changes.

My son got MineCraft PC for his birthday.  The account is under my e-mail and he has a name in the game (my terminology may be off as i do not play the game).  My other son would also like to play MineCraft, but have his own name (character???).  Can that be done?  It doesn't seem logical that I'd have to download 2 Minecraft games.  Please let me know how this works.

I went to my friends house, and he was playing Minecraft on the PC. He showed me a command block, but when I went home and opened Minecraft pocket edition, I went to the crafting table but I could not find any command blocks to craft.  What are command blocks and how do I craft them?
