Shout out to my corrupted Minecraft world
R.I.P. to “Survival Oley” my first serious survival world that I shared with my brother. Before this world all we had done was mess around in creative and pretend to be in survival. The world was named after the pledge that we would be “survival only”, except my brother misspelled the word “only” and the rest is history. It’s data was corrupted today and the world is no longer with us.
We had this world since 2018 (possibly 2017), not very long in the grand scheme of things, but long enough that we had a lot of memories there. We hadn’t been on it in the last year or so, but we thought to revisit it today. The system crashed for whatever reason and the whole world was corrupted. When we realized it was gone, my brother broke down and cried.
This post is my final goodbye to this world. Survival Oley was where I truly experienced Minecraft for the first time and I became a better player because of it. We never defeated the ender dragon or the Wither on it (because we weren’t that good). I’m really going to miss it.
Geo the orphaned polar bear (a personal favorite)
my many sheep (I believe I had almost every possible color)
All of my brother banners and flags
the house we built together
the docks we built together
the tower with NO purpose, but looked cool (it had fire on top) that we built together
the cobblestone wall surrounding our base that I built
every cursed Nether portal my brother built
the enormous cobblestone sign outside of our base that was my brother’s name (guess who built that)
that one wither skull that my brother hung up in his room (it was the first one he had ever gotten that wasn’t from creative mode)
the mountain side I dug out for our enchantment room
the giant cave I dug out because I didn’t understand how strip mining worked, but we still used as a battle arena against mobs
My Impaling IV trident with mending and loyalty III (I was really proud of this because I got all the enchantments from fishing, so much fishing)
the multiple sets of iron armor we left around (I swear we traded them like Pokemon cards)
the mesa biome that had a woodland mansion plus a savanna/desert village next to it and was within a thousand blocks of our spawn point
that one snowy village that my brother had claimed, where I had “fixed” the paths
the desert village that neighbored the snowy one, which I promptly claimed and tried to “fix”
the two ocean temples next to each other
the cursed buried treasure I never found. I had accidentally wasted multiple treasure maps on this thing. Even after setting up a base on site and digging out the entire chunk, I still never found this chest. I had considered digging out the chunks surrounding the “X” on the map, but at that point I decided to walk away. This thing was my literal nemesis for a few irl days
Anyways, there is some good news. We have a saved version of this world, the problem is that it was saved at the point where we still lived in house with a dirt roof. Big oof, but it means we have the seed, we can rebuilt if we want to. Knowing that makes the lost less impacting for me, my brother on the other hand is still pretty bummed out. To any Minecraft players who might read this, keep mining and crafting and whatnot. To everyone, treat people nicely, keep playing video games and try not to rage quit.
