Issues with worlds from old server being recognised by craftbukkit boot on new machine

Hi all,

I'm having an issue. I've been running a Minecraft server on-and-off for 6 years, with a variety of friends. I stopped hosting locally cos it wasn't an option in my prior living arrangements, but it is with my new apartment.

So I took my server files out of storage and attempted to set them up again. I booted from craftbukkit 1.14.4 and it keeps not recognising my world "klausnomia" as the default world, instead spawning a whole new world a default "world" folder. It then deletes everything in the klausnomia folder everytime I try booting.

And when I try renaming the worlds "world" ... the boot messages call it "klausnomia" instead, yet it still wipes all my region files.

Wtf is going on??

It might be an issue with that backup - like its missing crucial files or something. Annoying but there are others floating around.

 

@Klaus_Nomi Look at the server.properties file, change the "level-name" option from "world" to "klausnomia".

 

Thanks everyone. I suspect the issue is a change the professional server host I was using for my last residence made to one of these files (as the port was set to higher than 25565, etc), or something else that the professional hosts did that is incompatible with my current setup. But I looked at server.properties and the level-name is indeed "klausnomia". Here's the full file before modification (i.e. changing the port):

Can anyone see anything wrong here?

I can also post the full boot log or my file directories (as I think there are some out-of-date/unused plugins I need to delete, the server didn't recognise my Mojang account as already having op powers, and the folders in "klausnomia" world file look different to a freshly spawned world)

 

I think if you want to solve this a different way, is to just have it generate the world, then just replace all the stuff inside the "world" folder with stuff from your old world. And make sure all references to the world name in the level.dat file match the level-name in server.properties.
