How do I recover my Minecraft world (Education)
I have this project for my elective where I had to build a school, but the entire world was deleted. I tried switching it from Application to External but that didn't work. I don't have a Minecraft folder either so I'm kinda lost but I need that world but because it was a big project for that class

Hey Samuel,
Super unfortunate to hear you lost your world.
Worlds are currently saved per device however its possible it's still around in file form. I can try to help you confirm it exist.
What platform are you using? (Windows, IOS, Android etc.)0 -

Hey there, I'm so sorry to hear that you can't find your world. If you'd like to investigate, Minecraft Education worlds are stored locally on your device and on a PC, you may still be able to find the world files here:
For the .exe version of the app:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Education\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds
If you use the .appx, are on another platform, or still can't find it, try searching "com.mojang" and the worlds may be in files under there.
The tricky part of this is that the world folders are listed with a "GUID", which is a series of letters and numbers that don't correlate to the world name that you'd recognize. Here what I would suggest finding the world and see if you can still open it:
- sort the minecraftWorlds folder by date and try to pinpoint the time you were last in the world
- open the folder that has a date/time close to the last time you were in the world
- open the file called "levelname.txt" in a text editor to see the name of the world. If it's the world you are looking for, close the file and move to the next step
- copy the entire folder for this world to your desktop, or another convenient location
- open the folder in this new location, select all of the files in the directory, right click and then select "Send to Compressed (zipped) folder"
- A new file with extension ".zip" will show up in this folder. Move this .zip file to the desktop, or another convenient location
- Rename the .zip file to "[WORLDNAME].mcworld" - WORLDNAME is a name you choose that is recognizable to you
- Double click on this file, and Minecraft: Education will launch
- If you get an error about the import process, send us the [WORLDNAME].mcworld file. Our support team can take a look and let you know if we are able to recover it.
It's a great idea to export and save your worlds after every session to prevent this issue from occurring.
