never seen anything like this..

hey guys, been running a beyond server for a while now, but haven't actually played on it for a couple of months.
well today i logged on and the world seems to have been corrupted somehow, my base had chisel blocks on the floor and they all seem to have been changed into hoppers... there is random liquids flowing everywhere, the walls are and roof are just gone.. ive never seen such a random mess. oh and it crashes my client after about 5 seconds.
all my recent backups are the same too, newest working backup i can find is from 4 months ago
lesson learned, make manual backups more often.
ps: not expecting anyone to help, just thought id see if anyone had seen something like this.

Is it a modified pack? AKA did you add any mods?

 

[Dalienx]

well not recently...
i added fastleafdecay, and worldedit when we started

I remember someone recently noting that a Beyond update caused this king of block ID swap/corruption. Something about skipping forward a few versions of the pack.

Ultimately that is what caused it though, all the block id's changed on you. What caused it would be the mystery.

If you want to recover you can try manually downsteping the version of the pack but without knowing where it was before that would be a long and frustrating process that might lead to nothing.

yeah i figured it must be a block id issue. its all good, hardly anyone was playing it anymore anyway, think ill swap the server over to foolcraft or something

Yeah, I had one of my old direwolf20 worlds do something similar a few years ago. I'd moved on to other packs then wanted to go back to look at an automation I had made so I could replicate it but the world's came up similar to what you have. Didn't crash me until I went near my latest build craft quarry, the orange rails the BC quarry puts out had turned into something purple, taint of some kind was always my guess, that started flowing really fast then it crashed and would not load again.

Last time I saw something like this was back in the original Horizons. I had forge multipart glass framing the entrance to my mine and when I updated, they all turned into copper. Kind of cool, but also annoying because it was a different kind of copper depending on the size of the multipart, and thus I didn't end up with full blocks...

No but you had an awesome steam punk patinaed entry to a mine

I had something similar happen to me in singleplayer in infinty evolved. Basically every now and then when I explored a single chunk would become corrupted and stuff like leaves would be replaced with signs, and ores replaced with random IC2 machines.

I don't know why this happened, but it was kinda cool to explore and find random lapis blocks in the shape of tree leaves with batboxes as the trunk, and veins of agricraft water channels undergound
