Solved Loading worlds from specified directories?

How do you make world folders into World objects?

For instance, I want to load a specific world from my plugin's folder instead of from where the craftbukkit jar is. I am also aware that World.java is an interface so I also don't know what class to load the world as...

Can you just load a world like this?:

Code:

File file = new File(location of world folder);
WorldObjectClass myMap = new WorldObjectClass(file);

or something like this?:

Code:

File file = new File(location of world folder);
WorldObjectClass myMap = (WorldObjectClass) file;

 

This is were all world files are stored so I am assuming.

Code:

Bukkit.getServer().getWorldContainer();

 

Yeah that looks right, but what I want to do is be able to get worlds from different folders instead of all from the same one.

So after searching a lot I think worlds are actually created as a CraftWorld object, but I can't be sure. Still need help!

If anyone even has a different idea of how to do this that'd be better than nothing! :/

Bukkit.createWorld(new WorldCreator("map/file")); possibly?

 

Does not work exactly like I want, but it is definitely close!! Doing that makes a new world at that location each time. It also overwrites any world that has that name there so all I have to do is figure out how to prevent that which I'll probably be able to figure out myself. Thank you so much macguy8

Scratch that! I was just using an invalid world file That line of code actually DOES do exactly what I want!

Great! Also take a look at the JavaDocs for WorkdCreator, you can do all kinds of fancy stuff that'll help also (Use a special seed (for if its a pre-made map and chunks might be generated off the side, to avoid those ugly lines), custom terrain generator for some things, a nether-type generation, end-type generation, etc. you can also use .copy(World world); if you are using a file that will reset (minigame, possibly). Good luck!

 

You guessed it! I'm making a mini-game plugin pack, and you literally answered my next question of "now how do I make the map not save?"

Thanks again!
