Hey guys, I recently started playing Minecraft with 2 friends and we created an Aternos Server for it. We were playing Vanilla for a few days and everything was great but we wanted to step it up a little so I looked for some mods. These mods required to use Forge so I did watch a tutorial (by the Aternos youtube chanel) and switched the Server to Forge As far as I know everything is working...just that our World is lost. I guess that our World only exists on Vanilla(?) So I did run the Help Center thing and it told me to load a back up. I checked that out and there was no back up. I didn't conect my Aternos Account to my google account before. I also tried to upload the world from my minecraft safe file but appearently the world was only saved on the server and not in my files(?)
My question is: Is there any way to get the world back?
All 3 of us did spend many ours on building things and it would be really sad to lose it.
If you have answers for me please keep in mind that I'm new to minecraft and also to online servers. Please try to explain things in a simple way.
