From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a data recovery tool for Linux to recover a Minecraft world? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

I hope your PC is off. Dont use it. Otherwise that data is gone.
