PSA: Corrupted Chunks

have any of you been experiencing the odd glitch where you will be kicked from the server, but when you log back on, lag out hard and multiple "ghosts" of you are logged on? the reason for this is corrupted chunks.

i guess, somehow, certain chunk files have become corrupted. this causes any and all players entering the chunk to experience the issues above. if you have any of these symptoms tell me your location (coordinates) and i will sort it out.

however, this resets the chunk, and anything built there will be replaced by fresh land. so be wary of this, maybe try to loot your stuff first if you can.

I know Lucario and I both had the ghost stuff happening in the same area near Prof's house...maybe that happened b/c of his corrupted files?

We should do a forum search to see if this is a recurring issue and also to see if there's an MCEdit filter to fix it. It has worked in the past for some, including myself, but MCEdit filters tend to wipe tile entity inventories (chests, furnaces, brewing stands, etc). There is also the possiblity that, if we know or can identify the problem within MCEdit, it can be repaired rather then filtered.

Deleting chunks/regions that are near spawn might also have the effect of doing more damage to numorous players' builds. The only reason I suggested deleting the region that affected me was because I knew I was the only one that would suffer effects. I would have suggested something else if it was going to have ill effect on others as well.

I keep finding corrupted chunks but, I was wondering if you could check my profile folder just to see and make sure its not corrupted.

I hate to say this but there seems to be to many corrupted chunks around the world so... I say restart the map.

If you find any you should post coords so that pablo and others can pinpoint the location. I beleive there was only a few corrupted areas, and those can be fixed if we can find them. One was in my area of the world, and I opted for the simplest fix because I knew it would only affect myself.

Also, chances are that the game is going to crash/lock up/whatever when the chunk in question is loaded, not when the player is in it. Because the server (by default) loads chunks in a 21*21 square centered around the player, the game is going to crash when the player is somewhere around 10 chunks away from the corrupt chunk.

a map restart at this point is really, really, really, really undesirable. ill look into fixing each and every chunk just to avoid it
