#When a certain chunk is loaded the server crashes

I think the problme is the chunk because my friend could join no problem but whenever i got in the server crashed. I then deleted all my player data so i would spawn at spawn and would have no items on me. That worked, i could join the server, but when i got closer (probably in render distance) to that chunk the server crashed again. Someone help pls. Is there a way to reset the chunk or something similar?

you will need to edit the chunk where the ticking block entity is. a program like https://github.com/jaquadro/NBTExplorer/releases is very help for this. You will need to download the region file its stored in found in the /world folder and ends in .mca. A great tool to help you caculate that file from block coordinates is: https://minecraft.tools/en/coordinate-calculator.php

will i be able to just reset the chunk to its initial state?

toxic ridge
#

you will still have to use nbtexplorer to do that

#

in nbt explorer there will be list of folders in the mca file you are editing, on the left side is the chunk coords with is x,z only, find the chunk that the calculator told you the ticking entity is in

#

then open it

#

then you will need to open the entities/entity folder, not always there, and if there are more than one folder, open each, and when you find the one with the pos x y z coords of your ticking entity, delete that one folder.

#

save the mca file and upload it back to your server

#

restart your server

#

and you should be golden

#

alright ill try that thanks

#

so you are telling me to delete the enmtity?

#

entity

#

if thats the case it no good because i need that block to progress i just want it to reset or something. I initially could load that entity but i dodnt know what i did that made that entity crash...

#

just need it to bring it back to its initial state

#

you can't reset a broken entity, and deleting/resetting the chunk its in is far more destructive than the tiny edit i'm asking you to make to fix the issue.

#

the other thing you can do which will involve lots of waiting, likely inordinate amounts of waiting, is to issue a bug report containing the log above to the mod author for which the crash was generated.

#

if the mod author doesn't have the time you can conceivably wait months to get a fix.

#

so i will need to delete the crystal? damn

toxic ridge
#

your literal best bet is to remove the entity with the details i gave you, suck it up, and spawn the block/entity again

#

yes

#

things corrupt for various reasons. there's no way to know what you did, that's not in the log.

#

but the 99% common way things do corrupt is bad programming. ie a bug that needs to be reported.

#

the way i will then spawn it again is by editing once again the mca file?

#

by adding the entity to those coords

#

?

toxic ridge
#

you will want to do it in creative mode for that

urban scroll
#

i dont think i can spawn that in creative

toxic ridge
#

i also recommend toalking to the pack author on their discord in regard the issue

#

sure you can, with the /summon command, but you will need to talk to the mod author and the pack author to make sure you get it right

urban scroll
#

hmm okay

#

its that crystal in the middle

toxic ridge
#

i'm neither the pack nor the mod author, nice pic tho.

urban scroll
#

ok its solved and i think i know what the problem is ill try to contact the modder
