Post Server Maintenance for 1.7 preperations

Right now, I am performing a maintenance to our map. I’m generating solid 1.6 terrain outside the areas marked ‘restricted’. It’s taking a while to complete this. I’m unsure how much longer it will take. If it takes too long I’ll have to break this maintenance up into a second one as well. During this time the server is extremely laggy as it has to do a save every 20 seconds or so. Virtually unplayable. So i made it so nobody could join.

I’ll be on dynmap if you want to chat. 😛

Found a good reason why saves have been so laggy. For some reason mojang is saving where mineshafts are in the world’s data folder. And because there are a lot of mineshafts, this file is huge. As of this moment, there is no reason for us to save this data. Nothing special spawns in a mineshaft, and if it ever does in the future, new chunks can be generated for that kind of thing. After deleting this file, saves are almost instant again. I hope this will make this maintenance much quicker.

Jack, do you have an estimate of when the server will be up? 🙁

Deleting that file won’t affect the mineshafts will it? My house sits on top of, and incorporates, a pretty extensive mineshaft.

The mineshaft.dat file simply says “there is a mineshaft here” just like the fortress.dat file says “there is a fortress here”. The actual blocks are stored in a different file. So that mineshaft has already been generated and will stay that way. 🙂
