As the title suggests I am stuck understanding what’s going on here and I’m pretty pissed off right now.

So I had a Minecraft world (Java) running on windows 11 and a few weeks ago I was playing for a few hours and when I came to save the game it just kept spinning and I noticed the clock on the desktop had stopped about 90 mins before and thus it corrupted my game save and I lost the world.

I was finding the motivation to play (work all day on a pc so sometimes it’s hard) as it is, and so I was reluctant to start a new world. A couple of weeks later I started a new world and put in an hour here and there. Today I’m playing again for a few hours and come to save again and low and behold the same thing happened. Now I’m too frustrated to check if this world is also dead (last time the folder was there but it never showed in game).

Any ideas what is going on here or where I can begin to investigate once I get the motivation to turn the pc on again.

The pc is a few months old. Built myself and the specs if needed are:

  • Asus PRIME B550-PLUS Mobo
  • 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
  • Ryzen 7 5600x
  • Gigabyte GeForce rtx 4060 GPU
  • Nvme storage
  • AIO water cooler.

As an aside temps are higher than I want. Like 60+ on load (pc) and game launch, but does settle around 45 once Minecraft is loaded in.

      I don’t actually think it’s the game that crashed though, more windows crashed and that prevents me saving, but when I try to save it corrupts the file.

      I will have a look into the third party launchers though to cover all bases.

      I am with you on I just want to install and play. I’m a nerd but I don’t have time to be a Linux nerd as well as an MC nerd too.

      I’m glad you’re considerate enough to not just post a comment about hurr durr don’t use windows (as it really does help with this situation).

      With steam and proton, setup on Linux is rather simple and it works as well as windows for most of the time. And I hardly know anything about Linux, except I get 25 to 40% more performance in almost every game
