Issue description

MCreator can get stuck at loading screen at Loading workspace data ...

This bug was reported by some users at this ticket: https://mcreator.net/tracker/issue/44216, but this ticket is about a different issue.

Current fix (1.8.0):

If this happens, the best option to recover the workspace is to go to user/workspace folder and change the extension of backup-* files to .mcr. Then copy these backups to a safe place, reinstall MCreator and import the workspace .mcr backups in the freshly installed MCreator.

Issue comments

I actually have the same Loading workspace Problem, but im using 1.7.10,i tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but it wont work.
is there something I got to do to make it work, I want to learn Everything so I can Make my own mod.

So I went to the folder holding the workspaces and the only file there was the settings. I had gone there before and it had the workspace files and the backups but they are all gone and I did nothing to remove them.

This bug will be fixed in 1.8.1 where all workspace related file write operations will be atomic to prevent this from happening.

Hello! so i downloaded 1.7.9 version to get it to work! ill wait for 1.8.1 until downloading new version
