    [MC] Build Migrations from "1.6 Survival" to the New 1.7+ Survival World"

    Minecraft Server 1.7.2 Survival Update!

    As most of you already know from our 1.7 news post, we are making huge changes to our Survival worlds for the 1.7 update.

    The main change is that we are generating a brand new 1.7 world full of all the new biomes, and removing the "Survival 1.6+ World".

    Because A lot of you have builds in this world, and it is unfair to simply remove these builds, we came up with the following solution:

    So the 1.7 Update title says it all: "The update that changed the world"
    As you are all well aware by now, huge changes to the Minecraft world will take place, including a lot of new biomes and biome code related changes.

    Because of this, there is no way to implement them in to our current worlds. So we need a solution for this so we can all enjoy these new features.
    The Slap Gaming team has decided on the following changes:



    • A new, large 1.7 world will be generated.
    • Our current 1.6+ survival world will be "locked" for 31 days. - This means you will not be able to build in this world, only navigate through it.
    • The main spawn, and major cities will all be copied over before hand.
    • During this 31 day period, you can request any builds to be moved in to the new 1.7 world, to a location of your choice using the Dynmap.
    • After the 31 day period, the world will be removed from the server. However it will not be deleted forever. We will have a copy of the server offline on our single player setup, and we can still access your builds to import them if you didn't log in within that 31 day period. - However only under special circumstances.
    • There will be a new 1.7 resource world.
    • The import features are not limited to just VIP's - Any players can request a build with significance to be imported. - We will not import minor builds.
    • The Old Survival world will remain the same - no action will be taken to it.


    We know this isn't the ideal solution for everyone, but I hope you can understand it is the best way to get the new 1.7 features incorporated in to Slap Gaming.



    How will the migration process work?


    In order to get your Build migrated in to the new Survival world you must follow the tutorial below.
    This is the only way we will migrate builds in to the new world. Random requests in-game/modreqs/private messages will guide you to this thread.


    ** If you struggle to see the images below, click on them to make them bigger! **



    1. Go to www.slapgaming.com/map - Once this page opens, click "Close bar" on the right.
    2. Using our online Dynmap, locate your house in the Survival 1.6+ World, and copy a direct link to its location. (See screenshot below for assistance)
    3. Once you have your URL stating the location of your current build, create a reply post to this topic. It should look like the example below.
    4. Now you need the URL of where you would like your build to be moved to. Use the guide below to assist you with this. Please note: Your build may not end up in the EXACT location you wish, it could be a few blocks off.
    5. Your final post should look like this:
    6. If it does, go ahead and click Post Reply!
    7. Please post whether you have stuff underground, and if so: how deep. Saves me from unnecessary copying stuff/missing stuff.




    **2 IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE - HOME LOCATIONS ARE NOT MIGRATED - LWC CHEST/DOOR/BUTTON PROTECTIONS ETC. ALSO NEED TO BE RECREATED**

    These migrations will not get done instantly. We expect a large number of requests to come from players, so please wait patiently and we will get round to it as soon as we can. If people start chasing and harassing us to migrate their builds, we will simply deny their request and may even take action against them for their actions. (Something we hope won't have to happen)
    Some of your more complex builds will take more time also.

    We only have a limited amount of time, and people to do these tasks, so please only request a build migration if your build is something of significance and importance!!
    If your build is a quite basic structure that would not take much time and effort to re-build we will more than likely reject your migration request.


    I hope you can appreciate the scale of the task at hand, and we would appreciate your support and patience during this time.
