Common Server Issues

Migration Issues

After modifying your server's version, software, or world itself, you can run into numerous common issues. Here are some of the most common issues that you can run into and possible solutions. If you don't understand something, or continue to experience issues please feel free to create a #ask-for-help thread in the Minehut Discord Server.

Paper to Fabric or Vanilla

Paper handles storing worlds slightly differently than Vanilla (and by extension Fabric) and manual work is required to migrate. If these steps are not taken, then your nether and world will appear as though they have been reset. However, you haven't lost any data - Fabric just doesn't know where it's located.

Here is a table that shows the difference between Paper and Fabric:

Server Software	Overworld	Nether	End
Fabric/Vanilla	/world	/world/DIM-1	/world/DIM1
Paper	/world	/world_nether/DIM-1	/world_the_end/DIM1

The following steps assume that your level-name (in your server.properties) is set to world. If it isn't, just replace world with your level-name.

1. Stop your Paper server, if it is running.
2. If you have already started your server with Fabric/Vanilla, enter the world folder and delete both the DIM-1 and DIM1 folders. This step is only necessary should you have started your server with Fabric/Vanilla.
3. Copy the /world_nether/DIM-1 folder into the /world folder.
4. Copy the /world_the_end/DIM1 folder into the /world folder.
5. Delete both the /world_nether and /world_the_end folders.
6. Start your Fabric/Vanilla server.
