how to keep a world going
hello fellow MC survival players. In the last 3 years I have gone through 4 worlds, my first world was hardcore which I lost within the first 2ish months of playing on it, a second which I played on for about 1.5 years, but got into building, and started playing around with things like color pallets, shaping, and shadows, but once I got back couldn't stand the sight of my old oak and cobble builds, the 3rd I had for about 5 months but forgot to backup after updating to the new chaos cubed update and my file got corrupted and would've lost about a month and a half worth of work from where my previous save file was if I kept my world, and this current world which I've been playing on for a month. I love Minecraft and building and am really hoping if you had any advice on ensuring that this is a true forever world as my current track record is at best I have a year and a half and want to play a lot longer. thanks for any help or advice you can give. I've attached some images of my current world for viewing pleasure. P.S. I play non-hardcore survival because I'm historically bad at staying alive, and on an older PC that doesn't run games well and many mods crash my PC so I play completely vanilla, so if for whatever reason your advice involves mods in some way I sadly won't be able to use it.
