Forge Mod Loader detected that the backup level.dat is being used.​

Launcher Version:

Modpack:

Direwolf20​

Modpack Version:

Details of the issue:

I launched the pack as I normally do on my Mac, and loaded my single player world. A screen came up saying that "Forge Mod Loader detected that the backup level.dat is being used. This may happen due to a bug or corruption, continuing can damage your world beyond repair or lose data/progress. It's recommended to create a world backup before continuing." Below it are two buttons labeled Yes and No. Clicking Yes takes me to a loading screen and then displays the same message with the same buttons. Clicking No takes me back to the screen where you can choose multiplayer or singleplayer. I tried to create a backup world, but couldn't find the saves files like in unmodded Minecraft. What should I do?​

Try this guide. Instead of going into .minecraft go into wherever you have your ftb files saved. I searched "Ftb" on the startup menu and found it. Once inside click the modpack your using (Direwolf20) and you'll find your saves and such and should be able to follow the guide shown. Any questions feel free to ask me! Best of luck!

I have had the same issue and tried just what was presented. Although now when I try to start up the previously corrupted save, it just shuts down minecraft entirely.

I had the same problem! my 21 year old brother told me to go to the files find the world copy and paste it somewhere else he placed it on my desktop but that didn't work, so i placed it in the backup folder and thought it would work but when i clicked yes it didn't do anything it was still on the same page i was on with the Forge Mod Loader Curruption I joined my world at 5:00 but now I don't know.

If there still some people having problems do what it says in the video but instead of putting the files in %appdata% put in in the curse save folder in my documents. Worked for me and only 4 files had to be copied.

I was having the same problem and replaced all the save files in my game folder with that of a new world like in the video above. Doing that worked but started me with a new character in my world with none of my stuff. So I started individually replacing the save files to isolate one and noticed in my corrupt world save folder there was one file named level.dat_new which wasn't in the new folder. Copying from the new game, level.dat would make the old world work but with no gear.

So after playing around a bit I just renamed the file level.dat_new to level.dat and voila! All worked and was back to normal. I don't know why the game at some point decided to rename that file but it seemed to be the culprit for me. Hope this helps someone else out there.
