Hi!

I am running a server with the cobblemon modpack and a few other mods. When adding another mod, I had to restore to a previouus backup. Doing this wiped everyone's map but mine. How do I have this save with the restore too?

Thanks 🙂

xaero's minimap and map mods store the data on the client side, when you distributed the updated pack, that update is what wiped it out. the players need to copy the xaero's folders out of their copy of the pack to somewhere else, then update, then copy them back.

so would it be in the curseforge folders?

crystal axle Jan 4, 2026, 4:01 PM

#

yes, at the top, they won't have to go in config

#

Do you know the file location please?\

#

Thanks for your help

#

the folders literally start with "xaero"

#

oh lol

crystal axle Jan 4, 2026, 4:02 PM

#

<pack folder>/xaero...

#

thank you!

#

tell em

#

right click on pack icon

#

open folder

#

copy xaero* out to somewhere like downloads or documents

#

update pack

#

copy the copied out folders back

#

start and enjoy the maps

#

this has been annoyance with all map mods since they were ever made

#

i wish the map mod devs would allow us to specify cloud drives for map storage, that would be so much easier to link them back on update

Lol ok this is the first time we've used one

welcome to the club!

#

so the server reset didn't do it, it was switching the packs?

#

on curseforge

crystal axle Jan 4, 2026, 4:04 PM

#

correct

graceful ferry Jan 4, 2026, 4:04 PM

#

great to know

#

thank you so much!

#

the server seldom has anything to do with maps

#

so map mods do have serverside components so that you can decide what shows up in the local player maps

#

like journeymap has such a feature.

#

i've never used it myself.

#

the serverside

crystal axle so map mods do have serverside components so that you can decide what shows up i...

yes this is why I was so confused

crystal axle Jan 4, 2026, 4:05 PM

#

part of journeymap

#

I was looking through all the server files and couldn't find where the player saves were

graceful ferry Jan 4, 2026, 4:05 PM

#

crystal axle part of journeymap

yes unfortunately we added onto cobblemon which has xaero's already

crystal axle Jan 4, 2026, 4:05 PM

#

mainly that server side components is used for instance maybe you don't want players map caves, or the end for example. so you can disable it, or you don't certain mobs to appear on their maps

graceful ferry Jan 4, 2026, 4:06 PM

#

ok, thanks!

crystal axle Jan 4, 2026, 4:06 PM

#

but it doesn't map anything

#

that's always local

#

except, for dynmap

#

if you install dynmap, that baby is always serverside. and the server update won't nuke it either, players can goto a website address to view the servermap with dynmap

#

the problem with dynmap tho is it can be used for raiding

#

you can see where people are at, when they are on, and when they are not. you can see the negatives there.
