Level::setAutoSave()

I am trying to find a better way for "resetting" a world instead of backing up the folder deleting the level i need to reset and moving the backup back to the worlds/ folder. Would Level::setAutoSave(false) work as an alternative ?

 

Yep the result would be the same, though you need to unload and load the level for it to "reset"

 

Do i set the autoSave before after or during i load the level or when i unload it?

 

Before the game start use Level::setAutoSave(false) when it finish unload the level.

 

Level->setAutoSave(bool $bool); sets that in level is saving updates eg. block places, breaks, etc. If you want use this method for resetting map, first save level Level->save() and for reset it unload and load again. This method does not creates zip files, it's only cancel saving level. If you want save world using zip file, look to my SkyWars plugin.

 

Why did you use Zip files, it's work with Level::setAutoSave(false), zip is not necessary here

 

Because it's more safer. When I used Level->setAutoSave, some peoples said that it does not work. So I decided to try resetting using zip.

 

I use Level ::SetAutoSave(false) since 2 years and I have never encountered any problems but I agree, it's less safer.

 

In what way is calling Level::setAutoSave() less safer? And compared with what is it less safer?

 

I don't know why I said that.I'm not English, I do not express myself correctly.

 

It is not safe. It does not always for me.

 

Compared with reset with a Zip file

 

Why ?

 

After you load the level, or simply set auto-save=off in server.properties

 

But if you set auto-save=off in server.properties it's set for all the world.

 

Because 1/5 times it does not reset.

 

It's always work for me
