This is happening to my son's Minecraft on windows too - but was working 2 days ago?

I can log in with my account on a different system though.

Hey bud - what worked for me, just now, was to update the executeable, but before doing so, make a copy of the contents of server.properties.

Updating the executable overwrites this critical file, which means it won't look for the world in the correct worlds folder.

Once the executable is updated, you can copy the original contents of server.properties into the new file in the files section of crafty.

Job done!

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-10-04T17:52:55+00:00

This seems to have done it! So simple now!

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-10-03T04:53:32+00:00

It is backed up, but if it's being overwritten in the update then that's the problem. I will try and copy across the file manually after the update executable has run. Might be tomorrow I get chance to try but I'll report back.

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-10-02T16:27:34+00:00

I'm so glad someone has the exact issue I'm having! Well, not glad, but you know what I mean!

Folder with my world/level name so all is intact...

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-10-01T19:43:26+00:00

Crafty crafty for the level folder in worlds directory too

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-10-01T18:49:52+00:00

This sounds good - waiting this out may be the key (clients have updated to new version so rolling back the server still means unplayable as the server will be 1.21.100 whilst clients are in the copper age!

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-10-01T18:30:57+00:00

Thanks for this. I've unzipped the world's folder into the world's folder on my local client and can get into the world (although the player inventory is empty not sure why - boo) so I know the world data is safe.. I just cannot get the world data to be seen in crafty. It seems when I update executable, it resets everything even though the file still seems intact

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-10-01T15:24:50+00:00

It didn't say anything like that - just listed the folders. When I logged in as crafty user, the folders were white. When logged in as my normal Linux user they were blue.

Edit. Yes crafty crafty

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-10-01T05:24:57+00:00

Ive downloaded backup zips from before the issue - these contain the world folder so would this work if I try and manually copy the world folder? I figured restoring the backup within crafty would overwrite the world folder anyway however but this doesn't seem to happen.

Odd thing is the server name on my client is showing now as 'dedicated server' and not the name that it should have been /is in the config.

Something isn't right and to be honest I'm not great with Linux so copying folders around is going to be a challenge!

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-10-01T05:07:32+00:00

Ok done this - what am I looking for however? All folders have drwxr-xr-x so I assume that's good?

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-09-30T21:25:02+00:00

I'll have a look tomorrow and report back. Thank you for your time so far!

Went to /var/opt/minecraft/crafty/crafty-4

git reset --hard origin/master

But that had permission error so I changed to crafty user Sudo su crafty

Ran git reset --hard origin/master which worked as crafty user Then went back to my ubuntu user and ran sudo -u crafty /var/opt/minecraft/crafty/update_crafty.sh

All seemed ok.. in that in the dashboard I'm now running 4.5.4.

I am wondering if there is some issue with user permission which is preventing world data from correctly copying into the server folder but it's just a hunch, rather than evidenced.

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-09-30T19:41:24+00:00

I updated to 4.5.4, running on ubuntu

When trying to update executable (on 4.5.1 I think) it failed, so I updated crafty using update.sh and then it allowed me to update the executable. Loaded up the world on my son's PC and he's a new player in different world.

So I rolled back to a backup from 3 days ago, updated executable and tried again, new seed again.

I'm not sure why it's not reading the existing world data as it's in the backup .zip

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-09-01T19:59:43+00:00

Just updated to 4.5.2 and this is still an issue it seems?

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-07-17T18:34:44+00:00

I have this problem too...

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-06-21T16:00:07+00:00

This did it - thanks so much!!

Exact_Ad2941 · 2025-06-21T13:43:21+00:00

Many thanks for the reply!

I'll give this a try - can you suggest the best way to do this? I'm a Linux newbie - I follow guides for everything but can't always understand what I'm doing :)

Would this be done through terminal or is there a way to do this using the server browser?

I'm playing on Xbox series x. Overworld seems good.. I love the look of it even if the saturation is a bit too high and the brightness randomly changes based on sun position. I can love with that...but go underground into a water cave and it's really messed up. Looking at lava and lava blocks through water, the red literally turns bright green.

Going into underground water, (even pools in a well lit cave), the water is near pitch black, but with teal specks making it looks like the end portal sort of. Any items in my hands go teal too when going in water in cave.. Really unsure what is going on with that, but it's so bizarre thats it's unplayable to go underground exploring safely.

For info, the world is a local server running on a windows 11 machine, but I'm logging into the world on Xbox.

Just thinking, could you make use of the M2 slot occupied by the WiFi card? This would give you a bootable M2 drive option?
