Manually saving the game causes the issue. Simply let the game auto save before exiting the game. Go to exit without saving and confirm.
Since the game auto saved you won't have to resave it. It's a pain to wait for it to auto save when you want to get off the game but it's worth it if you put a lot of time in a save. Hope this helps.
I hope this gets resolved soon. My wife and I have been playing on one world for three days. Over 24 hours of time logged in, and bam... GONE! Huge castle, a vine covered bridge crossing a jungle river... all gone... :-(
I really hope the resolved this. It's depressing to put so much work into it only to have it get corrupted and lost forever.
Is there anyway we can email or contact Mojang or 4J directly with our concerns?
Please fix this! Between the three of us living in the house, we have lost countless hours between 4 different worlds due to corrupt saves. Even waiting for auto-save every time. Terrible first experience with Minecraft and $60 down the pooper!

I thought this worked, but it definitely does this.
I'm on save #3 that I've lost so far - all worlds that were pretty epic and had some amazing builds in them. This 3rd one that I just found out about is devastating.
After I lost the first two, I decided to let auto-save do the work, and never manually save. Well, that didn't work because today I woke up and tried to load my world and it's damaged.
This is ridiculous. They either fix this soon or I'll probably never touch the game again on PS3.
Hi
I bought minecraft for ps3 NZ25$, at first it was fine and I started a creative mode, the next day after I saved it about 3 times it had disappeared.Ok I thought so I made a survival following day that said that the save was damaged or corrupt the next. I've now made about 4 survival maps and they all have become corrupt. I don't know how to fix this and I really haven't been happy with my purchase it seems that they are bringing out updates to just fix audio when they could be catering to people with bigger problems. Could someone that has the same problem or know how to fix it help me.I notice I can go back into the map a few minutes after I've exited minecraft but the next day it's corrupt.
THIS SUX!! First day i got minecraft for ps3 played split screen with a friend, spent 3 hours on it.. Had diamonds, built a house, had a netherportal done. Then we needed eyes of ender to find the stronghold, we were playing on peaceful. Then we went to change the difficulty to easy.. Tried to go back in, corrupted. Same thing happened again!!!! Singleplayer has no problems yet, but im still afraid that its getting corrupted! People try this: make a world, wait till the first autosave when playing splitscreen, then manual save, leave and come back, works BUT try changing difficulty and the world gets corrupted :/ then try do the same on singleplayer and nothing happens am i right? If my singleplayer world gets corrupted im gonna be mad, i have all kinds of farms, enchanting room, potions, double blaze spawner, diamonds pretty much everything!! Mojang if you read this im sure will not but if u do please fix this ive been wasting 9 hours and 20 euros for nothing!! Like and share this
I feel you.
Myself and five friends worked on a world for probably 20+ hours. Loads of diamonds, awesome builds, and I wake up today to find the save corrupted. For literally no reason. I saved the game no differently than I had the previous 100 times.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I don't mind starting over, but it really is a kick in the balls when you have something good going. It would be nice if they could patch this and somehow allow us to access our worlds that are "corrupted" as it sounds like it's some kind of coding error rather than an actual corrupted file.
I just remembered that Playstation Plus members have their saves uploaded to online storage automatically at whatever time the user setter sets it up to do so. Mine uploads at 3 AM every morning while I'm sleeping. Not sure how many people know this, but it's nice to know. If your save gets currupted, you only loose a day's worth of work, rather than loose everything.
I spent over 20 hours on a multiplayer world and after letting my brother play with me i come back to find my save corrupted. I had spent hours flattening land and building a mansion. Please fix this issue i'm leaving my corrupted save for now in hopes of a patch. I'm done playing until this is fixed and if it is not i would like my money back. I'm not to good on using unfamiliar programs, but you might be able to repair your saved game data like you can do on PC with this method. Someone please try this and tell me if it works. thanks guys.
Just a thought... Are you guys tuning the game off within seconds of saving the game? I noticed that after the save is complete, you can still see the small save icon hidden in the corner of the screen. Maybe people are tuning their game off too fast, or saving right when the icon randomly appears during the game, between actual auto-saves like it does.

I don't think it really matters. I saved and exited the same way for an entire week and just yesterday it decided to become corrupted

no i actaully always make sure the save chest in the corner stops flashing before i exit, so it is defenetley not that
I got it on my multiplayer Ive been hosting with a few friends, Everyone says there getting it with split screen but not me here.
We put in ALOT of hours into it. Like we went all out no-life on our save file. Spent about 30/40 hours played with no problem. But this morning trying to load it up, i got the message saying my save file is corrupted... Kind of odd. Devastating, needs to be some type of patch to this and have the patch allow me to play on the server or honestly this would be just a pathetic waste of money.
Wow me a few friends were 3 days into a game.. 48 diamond 2 stacks of gold and like 6 stacks of iron. 2 xp farms and we were working on a nether portal.. What can we do??
Yeaaaaa just got corrupted data message and me and my friend are kind of ticked off, combined over 100 diamonds and constructing a castle... Will this be fixed or no, just want to get back to our construction. Let the players know now if this is something that can be fixed instead of telling us what not to do. Don't make the same mistake rockstar made on GTA online launch with character loss (which happened to me also)
Just suffered the same problem as well. A guy was hosting a minecraft server, and I played with a couple of friends. We hang out over there, and it turns out a corrupted save just happened. Hope this gets fixed ASAP.
I bought this game for a Xmas gift for my kids. It seems every game we've created so far cannot be reloaded. After reading this entire thread it looks like nothing works. Very disappointed. Really no point in playing if you can't save. I'm sure they will fix this issue, this is a huge deal. If people who were thinking of buying this for ps3 knew about this issue I'm sure they would not purchase it until the issue was resolved.
If the patch will be a while at least work with Sony and take it out of the store until the problem is fixed. Stop selling a product that so many are having issues with.
Very frustrating !! Ive lost several worlds , my kids also. How can you release a game with this glaring problem? It just seems it was released to beat the Xmas rush , so they can make their money and said , hey we'll fix it later.
I have tried every "temporary fix" . Just letting it auto save doesn't work. , saving it to a thumb drive , doesn't work.
How in testing this game do you miss this problem!?!?
We always play in splitscreen. I'm not sure of single player problems.
Please FIX this!!
Also PC version had cool thunder, there doesn't seem to be any in PS3MC
