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.

    Try loosening tertiary timings on the vengeance ram. XMP tends to be unstable with some of their kits on ryzen 5000.

      I second this. Their ram is very finicky. I once spent months dealing with a random windows crash on one particular game (would not crash that often. Sometimes would run for a couple hours issue free.) I suspected ram pretty early on, but could never get hours and hours worth of ram stress testing to ever show an error. After also ruling out pretty much anything else under the sun I said screw it and ran the ram a bit slower and looser than spec. Issue went away.

      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

      If you could point me to the posting rules, I would be grateful so I can better find the best community next time.

      I assumed AskLemmy implied you could ask anything, evidently I am wrong but I’m happy to learn how to understand the posting rules for each community.

          Ah, so I found the rules for this sub and I don’t see one that would have prevented me from asking my question.

          The rules said no support for lemmy questions, which mine wasn’t.

          I guess you could argue rule 5 if you’re being pedantic, the rule about creates discussion. Which I would argue my question did.

          Thanks for pointing me in the correct place.

    Your problem is those four blue squares at the left of your toolbar. Find a way to get rid of those and your PC should run a lot better :)

      Yes yes Linux is better I know this, you know this, we all know this.

      But… I’m a software developer that is dealing with nerdy stuff all day long. At the end of those days I just want a simple life and not have to be a nerd.

      That said if this continues to happen, I guess I’ll have to go back to Linux but it’s been a minute and I’m just not ready for that rabbit hole as inevitably it will stoke the nerdiness and I’ll have to set it up the way I want otherwise what’s the point haha
