As mentioned earlier, in 2017 my son Flippoow_V wanted a new world. So in June of that year I made preparations to start a new world in Realms. In April 2016 my youngest daughter, Daisy_love, started a local world under version 1.9.1, with the idea that we could all play in, one by one. Of course this concept didn't really work out, but still she claimed her spot of land. So when I had to choose a new world, I decided to upload this singleplayer world to Realms, as the new world.
Up till now we are still playing in this world, currently under version 1.20.1. I have guided it through all updates.
- Update Aquatic saw the removal of all ocean chunks, so we could have the new ocean.
- New biomes meant, deleting all chunks which contained no structures, so we could get chunks under the new terrain generation. Luckily Mojang implemented the terrain generation in such a way that weird borders between old and new terrain were history.
- The Nether update was the most easy one: deleting the old Nether, and dive into it as if it was new.
Not every update went smooth, and some gave issues, which is for another blogpost.
The future for our present world? Keep playing, and with every important update I will use MCA-Patcher to remove those not-needed chunks, meanwhile keeping our bases intact. There is an option in MCA-patcher which gives you the oportunity to automatically select the chunks where people have been spending less than X minutes in, where you can choose X yourself. I use the setting less than 5 minutes. So all chunks where people have only been travelling through, without building, will be deleted.
To me continuity is important. There are casual players on the server, and I want them to continu where they left, even if they haven't logged on for half a year. Nothing more annoying then entering a server after some time, only to discover that it has been reset and all your builds have gone...
