Fun "all creeper" world I've been playing with- tried to make it out of all high-blast-resistance blocks, and give it an interesting "parkour for your life" sort of feel... just for fun!

@Xnanorx

I run Spigot on my dev server.

Can you elaborate? What is/isn't working? What shows up in the logs? What version of Spigot are you running?

EDIT: Whoops, MagicWorlds. Yeah, that's entirely possible, I do *not* run MagicWorlds on my dev server. I suppose I should. I can't think offhand why it wouldn't work, though, I'm not doing anything sneaky or out-of-API in this plugin (yet).

Well, at any rate, same questions :) Anything in the logs, what version of MagicWorlds and Spigot, etc etc?

I've seen a lot more interest than I expected in people wanting to set up their own "other side". I apologize for how difficult it actually is to do this! I didn't realize how much trickery was required, that you needed MV, etc.

The current dev build of MagicWorlds fixes all that. My example config now does this:

  world_other:
      copy: world
      entity_spawn:
            ...

This tells MagicWorlds to create "world_other" on load if it does not exist, using "world" as the template (the seed).

MagicWorlds is now completely drop-in, if you don't have a "world_other", and you use the plugin and my example "otherside" config, it will automatically create the other side on load.

You don't need MultiVerse at all, or any other world-management plugin. Though MagicWorlds will still work fine alongside something like that. (EDIT: well, assuming you use Magic and Phase - otherwise you can't actually get there!)

This also fixes the issue with the spawn area not getting converted, since this way MagicWorlds is installed and ready before the world is created.

Unfortunately (due to an admittedly small change to make Purge safe with NPCs) the current MagicWorlds dev build also relies on the current dev build of Magic or MagicLib. So I'm not quite ready to release it, but soon.

I think this will be 0.9, and the last release before I figure out how to make this into a world generator or otherwise improve the efficiency drastically.

So the other side config isn't working, it's not doing the block replacement (though it is populating chests)? The world is named "world_other", exactly?

Definitely upgrade if you're still on 0.2, but the block replacement should work even then, since that was this plugin's very first feature :\

I've also just noticed I had mistakenly marked 0.2 (the first build I submitted) as a "Release" build.

All the builds I've submitted since were marked "Beta" .. so unless you went poking into the Files section, you haven't been getting the latest build. Like, ever.

Judging by the download counts this is most of you, so please go update, you may be like 5 versions behind :(

Sorry I've been neglecting this forum! I forgot to turn on emails... :\

@GPSforLEGENDS

So it's working in "world" but not "world_nether"? I think the default config does world_nether, but it sounds like you're using the "other side" example config?

Blocks (including chests) only get replaced on chunk generate- so if your nether world existed already, you may have to travel to an undiscovered nether fortress to find populated chests. Same with all the block replacement in the "other side".

@thebooklord

For MagicWorlds to reach 1.0 Release status, it will have to be heavily optimized. This may involve changing into a WorldGenerator (instead of a BlockPopulator like it is now). Unfortunately, Bukkit provides no way to extend the default world generator- so I think I have to tie into NMS to make this happen (I think it's possible).

I do all my testing with MV Core, but I would also like the 1.0 version to not require any other multiworld management plugin. I'm not 100% certain if MagicWorlds creates worlds on its own right now, though it's supposed to.

Lolyeah. I've recently been using iMovie's cheesy templates mainly because they provide license-free background music. I'd prefer to add my own, but I don't like to anger the YouTube gods, and we have to make sure all the starving mouths at the record labels get fed..... </rant>

@TempusVulpi

I will be keeping all of the customization I've done for "The Other Side" right here:

Feel free to use it as reference, but I will repeat that the block replacement is currently very expensive! I'm not honestly sure I can make it any cheaper, so be aware of the impact if you choose to use that feature.

Also note that this is a work in progress! The current configs may not be compatible with 0.2.0 but you can at least use then as a reference until I get some real documentation written.
