Solved Resetting Custom Land

Hello!
I am making a minigame plugin where there is gonna be a lot of destruction. How would I program this so at the end of the game? It resets the arena? I know this is possible because I see it on a whole bunch of different servers. Help?!?!

Store the chunks then delete them and replace them?

 

For my mini-games, I just disable people from going into the world at the end of the game (a static variable called worldResetting and listening to the world change event), then unloading and deleting the world, then copying and pasting it back from a folder (For mine I use /plugins/<plugin>/Worlds/<world>) into the main server directory/world container (Bukkit.getWorldContainer() or something) and setting worldResetting back to false.

 

Ok, I will try this, but won't that lag the server?

 

It'll pause the main server thread to load the world, but deleting the world and copying/pasting happens almost instantly on average servers, even normal servers hosted on PytoHost, etc. I use this method on a dedicated server therefore meaning the server is dedicated to me only, so it is fast.

 

Ok!

 

Might as well do it async

 

Would you paste some code on how to do this? (I am new to world editing/coding)
