Recently iv been having this serious issue with my main hub world. It is in the .mca anvil format and after a few hours there seems to be .mcr and .mcapm files being generated. After a server restart, the world is a new world and hub is lost. After deleting these files and making sure only .mca files exsist, the world is fine again but this keeps happening. What could be the reason this is happening? Please helpp
I get this too! Any new map I use it gets corrupted. I think there are players who exploit PMMP weakness. For example, I put some important signs, they get invisible after 1 day. My Sky Wars map, got corrupted after 4 days. I wish you good luck ^^ . And what's worse , Always Spawn from poggit does not work , it give glitches. Just pray to Great Mighty Super Dktapps to no ignore you, because staff here does not really help you, they are not get paying for developing this software. If you wanna your issue to be privileged it will cost I guess. ---- IF IM WRONG I SAY SORRY IN ADVANCE GREAT PMMP STAFF----
Have you tried changing your default level format to MCAnvil in the pocketmine.yml, so it doesn't keep generating .mcapm files as world files?
@asters which plugins do you have installed that use SignChangeEvent or can edit worlds? Nobody is having this issue except you as far as I can see... have you reproduced with no plugins?
I will try offline with a test server. Edit: This does not happen if no players. If I erase all plugins , nobody will play, so I can't do that. I can reproduce offline, without plugins Always Spawn glich .
I don't have stuff like that. Even economyshop and economysell got depleted because these signs got targeted by griefers/trollers and gone invisible with regular signs too. So for now, I have nothing that can change stuff in game, I don't use world editor.
The way I solved my hub from getting overwritten is by setting a different world as default world and making players tp to hub by a portal. For some reason after this nothing happens with the hub world and it's not getting overwritten by new mcr or mcapm files.. so weird
Never mind. Still happening ;-;. What is happening is that despite the world being in .mca format, .mcr files are gradually being created as the server is running say for a few hours. After the next restart when the server starts, it says level world not found and starts generating world. .mcapm files are then generated. The thing I'm not getting is why .mcr files are being generated in the first place?!

The fact that you've been using them for a while without any problem doesn't teach us anything other than 'something changed somewhere'. When something goes wrong that worked previously, the question is whether it's a change (or multiple changes) in the behaviour of a user, a plugin, pocketmine, php, your network, your OS, your hardware and so on. You have many plugins installed that are capable of messing with worlds with or without user action, so unless you eliminate that as a possible cause the PMMP team can't justify spending any time on this. With recent client and pocketmine API changes ALL plugins need updating, or they will fail to load (even if you hack PM to allow any API) and maybe do unexpected things to your server: a faulty plugin can prevent other plugins, or even pocketmine from working normally, even if the plugin seems to load ok. In your case, you have apparently hacked pocketmine to allow plugins for any API version to load... If you do that, you must live with the consequences, and fix things yourself. Alternatively, to get any help you'll have to reproduce the issue on an official pocketmine build with no plugins and a freshly generated map.
Well it's probably down to my world being corrupted in some way. If I try and convert the .mca world to .mcr or .mcapam, half the world is gone and replaced by normal generated terrain. No other worlds are affected and even if another world is set as default world, the hub world is still corrupting. The default world isn't. Would it be a good or bad idea to do a unzip and reload of the hub world every time the server starts? That way I can keep a zipped version of the hub in a folder and have it unload, unzip from backup world and load it every time the server starts. Using a delayed task. Doesn't fix the issue but really just a workaround
