Serious Problem With Corrupted Chunks

Hi there,

I run a small survival/creative server (1.6.4), and the last few weeks we've started having the server crash due to players loading corrupt chunks. It started off way out on the edge of the map, but the bad chunks are getting closer and closer to the spawn, so it's happening more frequently.

We've spoken to our server host multiple times, and all they suggest is to remove all the plugins and add them back one by one to determine which is causing the problem.

We'd rather not have to do this, as we have some plugins that we feel are rather essential (such as worldguard), and while we could remove all the plugins and only allow the owners onto the server, we have no idea when or where we would happen upon corrupt chunks.

Also, we don't understand why a plugin would be causing this. For months, all our plugins worked perfectly, without causing any issues at all. And we hadn't touched any of them. So why would they suddenly stop working properly?

Has anyone worked out why chunks suddenly get corrupted, and how to fix it? We'd really rather not have to end up resetting the world, but it's starting to look that way.

Thankyou ever so much for your help.

 

Well, do you have multiverse? You might have to load a new spawn.

Here is a helpful command page for you.
Hope it helps!

Penny You can always try running a corrupted chunk tool, here is one I use:
