So I uninstalled Zenless Zone Zero yesterday via Wine, and it seems it just deleted every game, KDE configs, etc.
These weren’t really an issue for me, but my old worlds have gone to waste too. Unfortunately, my drive is on ext4, and I haven’t used Timeshift cause low storage space. Is there any chance for me to recover back some data?
You know Minecraft works natively on Linux? Except if you run the more optimized, faster “Bedrock” version, which for very important Microsoft reasons is Windows-only. Or Android, so people play the android version, lol.
For recovery you can use testdisk. Shutdown the PC as fast as possible. Dont open programs! Dont play games!
On SSDs the data will quickly be overwritten otherwise.
Make a Clonezilla live usb and use that for recovery
Well I actually use native Minecraft too, if the Prism Launcher actually creates native instances by default. Luckily I have realised that there is probably a saved version of my world on a cloud storage, but I will def try testdisk out! Thank you.
Bedrock also runs under Linux. At least, it did 6 months ago, when I tried…
Interesting didnt know that.
Wait, or is this the mobile version which runs through an Android container? Emulator?
It was (and may still be) possible to make an older version of Pocket Edition run on Linux through unofficial shenanigans, but the official launcher says “Not playable on this device”.
minecraft.net also explicitly says: “Minecraft: Java Edition runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux; Minecraft: Bedrock Edition runs on Windows. Deluxe Collection content only runs on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Windows.”
Other unofficial shenanigans that may or may not work include but are not limited to: Running under a VM, running under something like Wine.
So, yes, technically it runs, but Microsoft are pretty clear that it’s not supposed to.
Well I guess they needed to do at least one shit apart from locking accounts and requiring to be in their hellscape?
Btw, trying to get the sky dimension running, the official minecraft launcher is the only one creating .rar and .json for the version.
hold on,
did it only delete the programms gone too?
open your home folder and set the option to show hidden files.
if there is a .minecraft folder check the saves folder inside that.
is it not in the trashbin?
i have used photorec to resore deleted files on several occasions.
but i dont think there is a filetype for minecraft worlds available
testdisk and photorec.
I did a similar boneheaded move by rm -rfing my Minecraft server directory.
Depending on how much free space is on the drive and how much data as been over written will depend on how much of the world files you recover. High probability it’s gone.
The thing that saved my server world files was I had Dynmap plugin installed. Dynmap is a world mapping plugin that creates hundreds of thousands of png/jpg files. This caused a delay in the rm command and that made me realize what was happening and stop the process. The damage was already done though.
