Inside it, you will find different saved game folders from different days and times. - Find the one you want to roll back and open it up.
- Copy the file inside that particular folder, then head back two times and overwrite the original current save file with this one. Now open up the backup folder, go to the world, and open the same time folder there.
- Copy all the files inside that folder, then go back again and paste the files there to successfully back up the world.

- Launch your game and you’ll find that your save game was last modified when you copied your saves.
- Start the save game and everything will be rolled back to wherever it was.
Restore from saved files
