Major Problems for SentinelCraft

[Migas]

Hello everyone.

Well... I am sorry to say but this is definitely unavoidable to only keep between staff.

Unfortunately during an update today, I updated Paper to an unstable version, even though it was released to public. As I have never had any issues with Paper before, I thought it would be safe to just update and improve our server's performance as always, alongside other plugins. My issue report is here, if you want to know about it: https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/4658

This unstable version caused ALL our worlds to become corrupted, which makes our server unable to start. Also adding to this, our backup system was currently not enabled which means there's no way to revert things back.

I'm not sure the extent of the damage but since I had the server whitelisted (might have been the only decent and thoughtful thing I have done this morning), only loaded chunks might have been corrupted. So this might only be the 25 "spawn chunks" for each world. However this is a considerable extent of damage already that at least will require deleting those chunks, if not more than that.

I am deeply sorry for this issue. As you might think, I am deeply upset with this as this is a community I love and I have seen grow up throughout the years, I can't believe that in just a matter of minutes, the "history" of our server has changed drastically.

I just hope this doesn't make you lose interest of staying with us and I hope you understand this issue might take hours or even days to fix (spawn world is the one with most damage due to having NPC's there).

If the damage is bigger than we think, we might have to think of a new approach for the server, because on that scenario, things would be unfixable. This might include finally setting up BungeeCord and revitalize our plugins to fit this new system. ALL the player data is safe, just to let you know. This is only a world issue.

All applications and appeals will be temporarily suspended to focus on this. -Edit- Applications and ban appeals will be processed once again, as normal.

I'm so sorry to hear about this unfortunate event.
And Migas, we know server performance are in the sky due to these updates and regular maintenances.
What I wanted to say is don't be sorry even if things goes south. We know you mean good.

Hope everything ok from now on.

After understanding the issue i can see it came from chunk loading and i can see that some of the chunks dont have backup therefore they might be lost i know it would be hard for the staff too fix but me and i hope all of the community is with you guys, worst case scenerio if some chunks are lost i hope we can adapt and fix what we have lost and i hope the community can work together as one and fix this issues. Finally i am sure no one will leave and whatever you do migas and the rest of the staff we shall accept and give our support

Same here! Issues may arise, some revisions may happen, and players may leave and never come back, but it's the loving and supportive community that made me stay and feel like I'm at home and loved by a family for almost 6 years already. We're all hoping for the best! We are all with you in this problem

[JoeArmageddon]

Hope it turns out well all Admins!
Don't wear yourselves out!
People can leave the server but we cant leace this family-like community
Good luck!!

As long as things get fixed, no harm, no foul.

well it might be better to start with a fresh server...
Maybe this can be a reset?

At this time we are working hard to find fixes to all the world issues we are currently having. Banana and Cryminal have worked hard to narrow down the issues and a potential fix. This does not mean everything is going to be smooth sailing but we want to say we are trying our hardest to ensure the worlds are saved as the last thing we really want to do is reset everything.
