Solved SF3 Doesn't start after BSOD

[Megladon]

I had my SF3 server running on my local computer as well as the client on my computer when my computer crashed with a BSOD think it was a memory exception error. I am not too worried about the crash but I can't get the server running again, I tried looking at the logs but don't really understand the syntax. If all else fails I will roll back to a previous backup but I will lose quite a lot.

Attached is the server cmd log and the error log.
Specs:
Windows 10
Ryzen 7 1700
Gtx 1080
16 GB ram

A few things that might be key to the problem:

Please reply if you need any further info.
EDIT
SOLUTION:
just copy over save files to a new skyfactory download.

A json file that the game/ a mod needs got corrupted.
The crash seems to point that its a file that itsbecauseuhasnogoodspawn wants to load and that the file has something to do with an island list.

A quick google search later found me this https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyFactory/comments/66az1q/game_crashes_with_json_error_when_loading_world/

U can try:
1. Download mod pack in diffirent folder and copy saves folders to there.
2. Restore ONLY "world 66" from backup.

In both cases if U have crash, add here NEW crash log

SOLVED
Hi thanks for the quick response, I tried looking into the islands.json and ItsBecauseUHasNoGoodSpawn-1.0.5.jar but no luck and error didn't change.
I then just unzipped the skyfactory files I still had and copied over my world save, this solved the problem as I suppose any corrupt files were part of the skyfactory and not part of the save.

I was up late last night so couldn't think about just copying over save files to new install.

Good for U.
