This is the second release of WorldDownloader for 1.8, and fixes a lot of the bugs, along with addition of several new features.

Bugfixes

  • Fix for issue #1, where previously changing worlds in a multiworld server broke the download and started 20 save threads.
  • Fix for issue #3, where reloading chunks caused TileEntities to be removed.
  • Fix for issue #5, where fireworks would cause the game to lag to extreme levels when they exploded.
  • The world no longer has a chance of becoming invisible after stopping the download.

New features

  • Saving the contents of map items!
    • If the map is in an item frame, you need to load it for it to be saved, just like a chest.
    • If the map is in your inventory, it'll be saved immediately.
    • Idcounts.dat is not saved, meaning that if you create a new map in the downloaded world, it may use the ID of an existing one. Nothing too important, but something to be aware of.
  • A debug options GUI, so that your chat is only spammed if you want it to be!
    • Some debug settings default to enabled, but all can be disabled (and all will be if "Master debug switch" is set to off).
    • You can also chose which types of information you want to see, so you can only see the more important GUI open/close messages without seeing the removeEntityFromWorld or onChunkNoLongerNeeded ones.
  • Fancy save progress GUI, that includes progress bars and what is being done.
  • Serverside configuration functionality
  • Re-implementing the "Player looks about in world" code for the multiworld select GUI.
  • Configuration of the "Allow cheats" setting, with it defaulting to enabled (rather than previously being disabled)
  • Backing up the world!
    • This is done after saveing is done, and a backup is created each time.
    • The three modes available are creating a zip of the world folder, copying the world folder entirely, and not performing any backup. The default is creating a zip.
  • Probably some other things that I've forgotten about.

This mod isn't compatible with forge, and must be manually installed for now. When doing so, you'll need to directly insert the contents of the zip into the jar, and then delete the META-INF folder. This mod is based off of Minecraft 1.8, and not Minecraft 1.8.7, so make sure you're using the right version!

Issues and suggestions can be posted in the issue tracker or the Minecraft forums thread.
