How to recover a corrupted Terraria world
First off, don't panic! There's a couple of things you can try to recover your corrupted Terraria world. Start by checking if you have backups. Terraria automatically creates backup files for your worlds and characters. Look for files named something like 'world1.wld.bak' in your Terraria worlds folder. Simply remove the '.bak' extension and replace the corrupted '.wld' file. If that doesn't work, you can try using a third-party tool like TEdit to open and potentially repair the corrupted world file. Just remember to always make a backup before using any external tools to avoid further data loss!

Honestly, just start a new world. In my experience, once a world gets corrupted, it's more hassle than it's worth to try and fix it. You get to experience the thrill of starting fresh, and who knows, your next world could be even better!
Pro tip: Regularly backup your game files manually. Terraria might backup worlds, but doing it yourself before each gaming session can save you a ton of heartache later.
