anyone know wut it means when your world name is red?

[Krypt]

pls help

[ikill4laffs]

The colour of the name or the actual name?

[DarkJDL]

I think it means the world is already open, Are you running a server that loads up the world per chance?

[苏俞奇]

The world will not open, because you read the archive with a high version, the lower version can not play. (Machine translation, misunderstanding)

it says its an unknown world

The world file is corrupted. Broken. Can't be used.

[PersistantGamer]

its corrupted, broken, unusable, can crash your game, and more. its basically garbage once its red

[Krypt]

i deleted it

In future, try to open the world. If the world doesn't open, then it is in fact corrupted, which means that has been destroyed. The red text glitch occurs after hosting the world on a server which may still be active. Hope this helps!

This was already cleared up a few years ago, but thanks anyway though.
