This issue genuinely crushed me, there were a couple of weeks where it looked like I wouldn't ever be able to play superflat again! This has been my favourite series in a while :)
Me too, I backup every day I play. It only takes a couple minutes, I store every backup file on an external SSD so it doesn't eat up my memory and bog down my computer, and it has saved me twice from losing dozens of hours of progress. Even losing one single day of progress is frustrating, but losing a week or more would easily be enough to rage quit an entire world 😆
I don't even bother using minecrafts backup feature. I just take a direct copy of my world file and store it on an external drive. Easy peasy, then when a corrupting crash happens, which is all but inevitable, I just delete that world file from the game, copy my most recent backup, and paste it right back into the .minecraft save folder.
@@insignificantduck313 I'm on Java, but I'd imagine on Bedrock you can do the same as me. Locate the world save file folder and make a copy, then paste it in another location.
Something to learn from this: At 6:30, if you install that A/C up on the wall, it will cool the room better because heat rises. Keeping a heater on the ceiling and an A/C on the floor is as efficient as using wooden axe to mine obsidian and wooden shovel to cut trees. Heaters belong on the floor, and A/C belongs on the ceiling.
So glad the series continues! I find it extremely fascinating just how you can use mechanics to build a world from nothing. Looking forward to the next stream!
Soo happy you have your world back so close to where we left it all! This has been one of my favourite, if not my favourite series you have done, and they have all been brilliant. Looking forward to the next superflat episode!
The last (lost) stream was mainly (not) healing a zombie. But, there was a lot of inventory clean-up. So sad to lose that... The witch experience should make the next time easier. Have a bed close by. And, isn't there one more wood type?
I'm a Game Developer and I can't tell you how many times I've spent countless hours on a project just to have forgotten to save it or forget to do a backup on it and the progress and countless hours I spent on it to be gone FOREVER I can't say this enough Backup your worlds at least every hour or even everytime you complete something major
28:18 am I the only one that got pavlov'd a bit with the bell sound there? I don't even associate it with Minecraft anymore, that's just the toycat subscribe sound now
Gratz on fixing the world. I was kinda used to getting this kind of issues when in java + mods, but in vanilla bedrock?!? That was surprising and scary!
I've been waiting for this video, I'm so so so happy you got your world back, with only a minior setback of progress! Looking forward to when your ready to stream it next
I have been watching Toycat occasionally, every once in a while when his "interesting MC facts" video pops up on my YT homepage... But after watching this series, I just had to honor the man and subscribe. Cheers, man, glad you still have your world and please don't stop making great content!
Something really cool that happened to me on my own super flat world is that around day 100 I found a zombie who spawned with full diamond enchanted armor and he dropped me is helmet! (With aqua affinity). Diamond armor isn’t impossible!
This usually happens to my worlds and when it does i just instantly force quit/unplug my console before the game saves, and rejoin with eveything back to normal.
I am soooooo glad you were able to save it! This is one of those series that helps me find new ways of doing what I want to do if I cant find the normal stuff to do it
Had an idea; do this again, but only give yourself one oak sapling and a bucket of lava to start with. No bonus chest! You should be able to get EVERY kind of villager AND go to the nether, eventually! 😃
I'll say it again, even though you can tell by the difference in microphone I still appreciate that they cover toycat's face with toy cat when the sound is the voice over and only show it when it's the original audio
IRON FARM FIX IDEA!!!! move villagers into individual holes around the farm place the work station down first infront then the villagers will go sort themselves to their station and won't unlink. Once your sure your villager is locked into it's work station bay then trade with it once to lock it so they won't change stations anymore. It also makes it possible to use your iron farm as a trading hall
Being limited is what make this challenge amazing. I've survived 496 days flat survival and made so many things. Before that I also tried with lava and 12 ender frames added, but after getting max gear (w/elytra) on day 232, I was burnt out. Also try this harder challenge, just flat world without even bonus chest. If you play bedrock pre-1.18, it's possible that vindicator spawn as a part of patrol (now you can only get pillager). You kill at least five of them to get 5 emerald for purchasing oak sapling. Then the challenge continues as normal. For pre-1.17, there's no way to lure the lightning, but don't worry. Drowned drops gold ingot, so you skip the stage of getting copper
Cyan is not a fake collor. It is, in fact, a primary collor. So are magenta and green. ... red, green and blue are positive primary collors. ... magenta, yellow, and cyan are negitive prime collors.
I made a farm of ALL enchantments from villagers and the order in which they connect to a work station seems to be in order of when their bed was placed so if you place the beds all in a line (1,2,3,4,5) then you just have to place the work stations in that order (1,2,3,4,5)
All u need to do for ur iron farm is move them all to one side but instead of stacking them into one spot, make a tunnel of sorts that they can reach their workstations. And need no other job blocks within a 100 block radius. I'd literally pay to see you go step by step instructions to fix the iron farm!
I play on Xbox. About a month ago my survival world got randomly corrupted, along with most of the recent backups of it. It started with a “no more storage” message. After making sure I did indeed have more storage and a little research, it seemed the only way to fix it was to uninstall and reinstall the game. After doing so, I load up Minecraft to find that my survival world, along with about the last 3 IRL weeks worth of copies, was gone. No “can’t sync”, just gone. I did have one copy that was available and was able to sync back up, but I did lose about a months worth of progress. I make copies of my survival world every single time I log out now, only deleting extras once they start to pile up (like 10 or more). Sometimes, Bedrock really sux... but, we soldier on.
Just realized this is a year old. 😑 Thank goodness. Lets hope this doesn't occur again with Recall update. I was wondering what happened to the bamboo. 😅
Dont worry toycat. I lost my huge survival world (streamed it all) and then my ps4 crashed, then corrupting the world which led me to delete it. But luckily i did have a backup and it set me back abiut 5 - 10 hours of work. Been on the grind and im just about caught up to where i lost the world
My pc crashed once and currupted my long term survival world. Luckily I had a backup from 3 months before, so I didn't lose THAT MUCH progress. I've regularly backed up my world ever since.
nice job on getting the world back! I just don't get how a the largest game company in the world can have a bug as bad as that on the most popular version. You got really lucky there Toycat
There 100% was an issue with youtube channel subscriptions a few years back. I lost almost all of mine. The suspicious thing is because it kept basically just Lad Bible and university channels, but removed all the smaller yters that are hard to find despite me watching that exact style of content all the time xD
legacy and bedrock sadly has that 'feature' or losing progress randomly, it was more prevelant on the ps3/xbox360 edition though currently lost a 5 year old survival world like that, i had backups too, but it was a rather old one, i basically had lost 2 major builds and grindings off of that crash
try using magma blocks around a fenced-off iron golem with a hopper minecart running underneath and then onto a collection system made from hoppers pointed into chests. Pointing the hoppers _into_ the chests is extra important - don't make the same mistake I did by pointing them in random directions by accident.
I stopped playing Minecraft because after getting top tier stuff then everything starts to feel like a chore. And I started to play terraria again and I forgot how much fun it is.
Very happy to see you have a regular backup routine that works. Would be nice to empower us, your fellow watchers with this great ability. I work with software, have my regular backup, and they have been successful many times, I had design it to be as powerful as possible to get me 'back to work' ASAP. Including a pre backup of many of my configuration, shortcuts and so on... I mean that's not a great game journey, until you get a corrupt world. But under that motivation you can get a lot of people prepared for many life saver traits.
Another hard lesson I learned. Never play Minecraft during a hurricane. Especially on console. If the power goes out, whatever world you were playing will be corrupted and Minecraft WILL FORCE YOU TO DELETE IT. Had this issue recently… like just yesterday recently. SO ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR WORLDS AND NEVER PLAY DURING HURRICANES.
17:40 He's not wrong. I like to search for videos using things I've made and thank the creators for using them, and I can scroll down 500 items and still find things relative to my search because most of the results are just completely unrelated. I can scroll 1000 items and still find ones that I've never seen before because there are like 30 recommended for you videos in between each relevant result.
This happened to my long term survival world on Xbox one time when I had 230 hours in it and my last backup was from 70 hours earlier and didn’t have achievements enabled
It looks like you memory or RAM got corrupted which caused your computer to crash and that’s why the chunks around you were reset. That is why the chunks that were not near where you crashed to save

That's what I came here to say. Why wouldn't you back it up after every stream?

Honestly your rant about the TH-cam Search feature is how I've felt ever since they changed it, glad to see I'm not alone on that.

What a rollercoaster ride of an episode. I felt your backup drama in my bones.
10:58 “unleash my inner welshman” I thought you were gonna do more than build a pen for those sheep
I am so relieved that you found a backup of your world truly enjoy your content keep up the good work good sir
So close to 2 mil Toycat. We can do this
Toycat is yes
So glad the series continues! I find it extremely fascinating just how you can use mechanics to build a world from nothing. Looking forward to the next stream!

to think that even in an endless plain of dirt, you can find yourself a beloved desert well, the beauty of humanity

This usually happens to my worlds and when it does i just instantly force quit/unplug my console before the game saves, and rejoin with eveything back to normal.
I always love the idea of doing challenges that games were never meant to handle.
Ah yes... Diamond shovel, truly the pinnacle of human engineering

@@miguelguthridge You can with a lava farm
I would also add cactus to that list too

When trying to push animals/villagers, crouch. You won't phase thru them and you don't have to feather your speed.
