I am running terralith on a 1.21.11 Fabric server, and I'm looking to update to 2.6.2 on 26.1. As far as I'm aware, there is no world_gen_settings.json file in my server, and I understand I need to provide that to upgrade. Is it placed somewhere I haven't been able to find?

you need to update and run your server first for it to generate
sturdy inlet
so i would run the server without the mod/datapack?
split drum
no, still with Terralith:
- stop server
- update Terralith to 2.6.2 and server to 26.1.x
- run server; wait for it to crash and say something like "couldn't load level data" or whatever
data/minecraft/world_gen_settings.datwill be generated
in singleplayer, there's a separate "upgrade world" button that you have to click before you can "join world", but of course servers don't have that, so you just start it up to upgrade the server
sturdy inlet
right. im running on docker so i need to figure out where my mount point is
oh ok i found it, i was just a little dense and confused about what data meant
split drum
rename to world_gen_settings.dat and replace
sturdy inlet
thanks man!
for curiosities' sake, what exactly needed changing in the dat file?
the server started up perfectly, many thanks

uhh, in 1.21.11 the entire biome distribution was stored in the data. in 26.1 it is not, but when upgrading a world the biome distribution is carried over. since the new data file doesn't account for reading data that large (notice how the file went from 17KB to 600b), it throws a fit.
tldr, i just simply remove the biome distribution and replace with the overworld preset
(the bug i wrote up if you're curious)
