 Description   

In bukkit.yml, I have specified a world-container folder for all worlds to be saved in. However, it no longer works for 1.16.1.

Steps to reproduce:

  • You can either use a previous 1.15.2 server or a fresh 1.16.1 server, and in bukkit.yml add settings.world-container: worlds
  • Start the server
  • The worlds are not saved/loaded from that folder, they are in the main directory

What should occur:

  • Those worlds should save/load in the directory specified.

the --world-container worlds flag MUST be AFTER the jar file is specified in the startup arguments.

-jar spigot.jar nogui --world-container worlds

I use alot of flags, so it looks like a mess, but just be sure that the above^ is in the right order.

-The plugins not recognizing the loaded world sounds like a potential configuration issue elsewhere.

Depending on your serverhost, you may need to use a custom server type and specify all the args yourself.

ie: I use AMP (by Cubecoders) and their current build puts the normal jar drop-down-menu-selection argument after the  normal startup args, so it'll never load the right worlds.

I used your solution, problem if the player is connected to the correct map, the plugins do not recognize the map in the folder as being the main map.

--world-container, -W, --universe, --world-dir
Any of those, they're all aliases

What command line flag should be used for this?

Comment by md_5 [ 25/Jun/20 ]

Unlikely to be fixed, Vanilla loads the main world too early. Use the command line flag instead.
