Creating New World on Server; help with the Old.

[UgLounge]

So I've been altering Mods on my servers modpack to the extent that Worldgen has had some changes and me as well as the player-base felt there was good reason to regenerate the world and start with a fresh world. So players didn't lose anything though I wanted to keep the old world around; generate a new world, and run the two worlds side by side. Copying over structures from the old server over time till eventually completely moving over to the new map.

Well the server is running MCPC+ and I tried using Multiverse to handle this. Multiverse generated the world without issue, but upon going into the world it acted very odd. Upon going into it; after a while of being into it the world would seemingly vanish bit by bit; screenshots below:

Mystcraft is also in place. ANy help on ideas of how to go about this world transition would be greatly appreciated.

What my server did when going from MindCrack to Ultimate was to get everyone to store their items on some AE chips and then have all those chips stored in the End. Then every dimension but the end was reloaded and everyone was given a week to store all their items so that we could have the end regenerated afterwards. This will of course require a admin/mod to be always on during this period to give the players their stuff

Hope this was helpful

This only handles Items though; right? Not any actual builds or structures? Sounds like an interesting way of doing things.

Update: Actually you've given me an idea. I guess I can copy all player builds via WorldEdit like I intended to; and drop them in the end. Then copy them over into the new world.

Glad I could help and good luck copying the structures over

And make sure to back up everything as a failsafe in case it all goes pear-shaped

Could you give a link detailing a little more about the AE Chip and how you used to store items with them?
