My brother jumped into the voice of the doom in my Hardcore Creative map.
I didn't press the ΄΄**Delete This World**΄΄ button yet.

As you probably know, hardcore mode is the same as hard mode but when you die your world is deleted.

When you die in hardcore mode you are given this game over screen.

If you clicked the `Delete world` button your world is gone, kapoosh. But you might be in luck.

The can retrieve this is if you revert the `saves` folder to a previous version. To do this you have to locate your `saves` folder.

It can be found in the directory: `%appdata%\.minecraft\saves`

Once you have found the `saves` folder right click on it and select `Restore previous versions`. Select the latest version before you died and restore it.

Your world should return to its previous state, before you died.
Don't click the "Delete World" button instead close out Minecraft and write down the seed before you make your world.
