Critical Help!? a Block is Causing 3 users to crash who load a chunk

[Riven]

So. i'm having a great 24 hours with this MONSTER 1.09 upgrade.

HERE IS THE ISSUE: While on CREATIVE MODE (trying to get our houses re-built from world-wipe), my 7 year old son decided to place a block. I believe the block had a broken graphics. but now, anyone who comes close to house, (LOADS that chunk) instantly crashes

has to do with this entity: TileEntityBarrelShelfRenderer

anyone know how I can either fix the issue from the server or modify the world map and remove it or anything?

Make a backup of your world 1st. Then use MC Edit to remove the block. The blocks location is in your crash report (see below).

Block location: World: (-170,112,-546), Chunk: (at 6,7,14 in -11,-35; contains blocks -176,0,-560 to -161,255,-545), Region: (-1,-2; contains chunks -32,-64 to -1,-33, blocks -512,0,-1024 to -1,255,-513)

download world, load it into mcedit. Delete the block, resave world. Upload world back to server. Its a pain but its one of the only ways of you are not running essentials/world edit on the server. Also you could disable the mod the block is from and then restart the server. They only problem with that is it will delete ALL blocks used by that mod from the world. So depending on the mod that could cause more issues than it fixes.

i assume that is where I get it?

That should work. MC Edit really doesn't care about what mods the blocks are from. It just tells you the data stored in the block. But, it will allow you to delete the block then save your changes and bring the world back up. Also, as a word of advice remove op from anyone that doesn't need it to help you run the server.

Thx for the Tip. as soon as we are done-rebuilding our base from this updgrade/server-wipe. Creative Mode is getting shut down!

That block was a WIP block that can only be created in creative mode. Blocks marked "WIP" often have nasty sideeffects when placed, which is why they can't be gotten in survival mode.

In the future as a suggestion, instead of giving creative mode, place the blocks needed for the build in creative strongboxes. The strongboxes will keep spawning new stacks of the blocks every time you pull one out so he'll never run out of the blocks, and he won't accidentally grab one of the "WIP placeholder" blocks.

WOW. What?! thats sounds very cool and useful! I educated my son the identifying incomplete materials. will be looking up creative strong boxes

yep, is MCedit and it was cleared up pretty quickly. I was apprehensive about using MCedit from some of the different explanations I had found all over the googleZ =P

but, it was fairly intuitive. I loaded it up quickly, used "load" to find the world I needed to edit. Then with a little tinkering found it easy to delete the one block. did it all in about 10 minutes. Hardest part was getting to the MC edit download =P just goto www.mcedit.NET

while i was in there, I even re-set the Player Spawn Location, closer to the major house we are building about 580 blocks from the spawn point. so that was cool too

i look forward to testing MCEdit a bit more on a test instance of my server and see what else I can do. i want to become familiar with Copying/Pasting/Exporting large block areas, so that on future server wipes, I can just paste in my base =P
