    I will be pretty busy for the next several weeks, so that means everything may grind to a standstill with the server for a few weeks. I will see what I can do but I make no promises.

    That said, for Vincent players, please tell me how you want to handle an update to MC 1.8:
    • Just load the 1.7 world on 1.8
    • Load the 1.7 world on 1.8 (=> bad chunks) and make a new 1.8 world that runs in addition to the 1.7 world
    • Pregen 1.7 world to a certain boundary (but not necessarily the world border) and make a new 1.8 world that runs in addition to the 1.7 world
    • Reset and start on 1.8 (I assume this is not desired by anyone)

    Since the amount of players is currently pretty low, I would choose for:
    • Pregen 1.7 world to a certain boundary (but not necessarily the world border) and make a new 1.8 world that runs in addition to the 1.7 world
    But for me my unfinished town (that will be finished very soon!) is the only thing that counts :p

    I agree with BranderoS on this, pregen and also make a new 1.8 world. Although I have to say that if for some reason everything had to be completely reset I wouldn't mind too much, I've only spent about 6 months on skcraft, but I understand most players would probably not like to lose all their work.

    I'll probably start playing on Vincent again since I can't seem to play on Alice anymore. I still have my underwater build to finish so it would be important for me to keep the 1.7 world. After that's done I'd like to go to a new world for 1.8. Pregen is practically a necessity since the server load would be too big when people go to unexplored areas in two worlds.

    So I'd go with option 3 as well.

    Transferring builds is a lot of hassle.

    I vote for pregen too, spent too much time making rails and rail stations just for it all to be deleted

    Who cares about rails? xD, you can make lot of rails and rebuild it ;)

    tbh, Before I moved to skcraft I played on a cracked server with friends for 2 years, and now they run a fresh 1.8 server (with plugins). I must say I really like the vanilla-ish survival :)

    Option 3 : Pregen 1.7 world to a certain boundary
    Vincent is for builders, and especially long-term build project imho.
    Border wrongness could be corrected with dedicated terraformers or mods anytime.
     
    Demenzia and venvai like this.

    I'm here not so long ago. Can say, only started to be built. Managed to build a house, ship and railway to spawn. I would like to save it. But if you decide to start from scratch, i do not mind. Not for the first time :)

    There is no decision yet, but don't forget: saving this world or not, It will be available for download! :)

    As most of the players don't have really big buildings, and with a few players remaining on 1.7 atm, I would suggest saving the buildings ppl want to keep and place them to a certain boundary.

    I think that we should reset the world and copy builds as requested.

    Would resetting and copying builds include transferring items and gear over?

    At least with alice, it was purely builds. No items.
