How to Trim a Minecraft World
Running a Minecraft server with a large map can be tons of fun, but when it comes time to download the world, the large file size can make the process tedious. Trimming the world size can make it easier to transfer the map to your computer. Fortunately, the Apex Panel has a built-in trimming feature that removes unnecessary region files to save space. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use this tool to trim your Minecraft world size.
Important Information Before Trimming
Before you start trimming your Minecraft world, it’s important to review some crucial information to ensure you don’t lose any important map progress. The system uses MCA selector to trim Minecraft worlds, which is safe to use, but it’s essential to understand its chunk filter conditions, such as the inhabited time setting. This setting controls how the trimming process works by determining which chunks to remove based on the total amount of game ticks that players spent in the region. It’s crucial to keep this parameter in mind to avoid potential loss of world progress.
How to Trim Your Minecraft World
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to trim your Minecraft world using the Apex Panel:
- Stop the server from the Apex Panel.
- Navigate to the bottom left of the page and click on “Trim World.”
- Confirm the world name and edit the inhabited time field parameter that controls how the trim works.
- Press “Trim World” to start the process.
- Monitor the progress by checking the console tab.
- Once the process is complete, restart the server to confirm the changes.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during the trimming process, here are some common problems and solutions:
- If your buildings were deleted, it might be due to tweaking the inhabited time value to an unreasonable amount. Make sure to use low values for the setting to protect your important progress.
- If the script isn’t working, ensure that the server is not running another script that could interfere with the trimming process. Check the console to make sure the script completes successfully.
- When the world is too large from loaded chunks caused by flying around or pre-generating regions, trimming the world can significantly reduce file size and speed up the process.
Conclusion
Trimming your Minecraft world is an easy solution to make the file size smaller, allowing for easier transfer and backup of the map. The Apex Panel’s built-in trimming feature simplifies the process, making it accessible to server owners without prior knowledge. Once the files are on your computer, you can use them in single-player mode or keep playing games in the trimmed world. Have fun exploring your newly trimmed Minecraft world!
