Is the data for the /island create commands stored in the world folder? After updating the server I can no longer join old islands.
The island coordinates are likely saved in \local\islands.ser
It appears the island coordinates aren't stored in the world's save folder. This may prove to be a issue, I tend to change worlds out and just keep the rest of the server files the same. It tends to be a lot easier for me that way. Not that big a issue for me though. I don't have to keep track of a thousand users and who does or doesn't have a island on the current world. I only have to keep track of less then a handful of users.
may i ask a simple question why is my text all in weird block looking things cant figure it out or find it anywhere
first find your install instance. delete the options.txt in it.
There are two possibilities I can think of. Another language was selected, or another language was selected and the current resource pack that was also selected doesn't use a font that supports it.
I remember a GPU setting causing this in other games for certain graphics. It might be worth adjusting the GPUs settings to see if it helps. You might need to reload the game every change. Not for sure.
