  • Somehow my server was changed to the auto updating software, and has updated itself to a snapshot and will no longer start because it crashes. The world file is too large to reinstall and then insert the old world. Deleting blank chunks has not worked to reduce the size enough. I don’t know how to change the server to a version that doesn’t automatically update and I don’t know what to do anymore.
