As the multi player don't work yesterday, my son has changed the version of minecraft (1.8 -> 1.7.9).
All the contents of his safes was lost (it's the same probleme for his brother... who is connected without know with an older version);

Can you tell me what I can do to have a checkpoint before yesterday 19:00 ?

Thanks

Item's are saved completely differently in 1.8 than they are in 1.7. A simple way to explain it:

All the items in his chests/inventory are saved in memory where it can be accessed later, by opening the chest or inventory. They started saving in 1.8 in a way that was faster, but luckily 1.8 came with instructions on how to convert 1.7 items to 1.8 items. When you downgrade to 1.7, the game says "What is all this! I dont know how to handle this type of save information!" and just throws them out.

The Items are gone.

There's no way to found them again ?
My sons don't read this message ... and moreover, they don't speak english...

Thanks

If you made a backup, then you can get them back by loading the backup. If not, rest in piece items.

Do not, and I mean DO NOT! downgrade from 1.8

Too late ;-(

Well, now you know! Make sure you have at least 1 backup up every world you care about!
