If the harassment is occurring off-site (i.e on YouTube), then we can't really do anything about that.

Just report the YouTube thing, whatever he's using (vids, comments...) to bully you. If it's getting out of hand (threats, stalking, hate...), contact the police.

It was a feat of engineering and architecture, and from the sounds of it you will be in no way be glorifying the attack.

If you have any issues with a save file not working correctly, post it here.

Myself or anyone else who knows their way around MCEdit and other editing programs can clear up some types of map corruption. Keep in mind that there is always the possibility of losing structures or resources when doing this, make sure you back up your worlds.

Speaking of knowing your way around MCedit - it's a lot of work juggling a life and maintaining this thread at the same time. If you wish to be indoctrinated into the ways of save fixing, please send me a PM and I'll get you all set up.

This is a list of things we can fix -
- corrupted chunks (causes very high chunk updates or very low fps for seemingly no reason)
- holes in the world (giant square holes through everything, including bedrock at the bottom of the map
- spawning in lava or deep caves
- crashes on level load (if it is the level's fault and not an issue with the client)
- other things not listed here

Things we cannot fix -
- holes in manmade objects (but we can fix the terrain under them)
- world chunk errors (caused by changes in the levelgen algorithm, causes large sections of the map to not match up properly
- incorrectly rotated sand (it would take FOREVER, and they don't always match up right anyway)
- corrupted metadata (but we can replace it if you have a working backup)

Someone pointed out in a post on page 2 that you can sometimes recover an automatically backed up version of your world in windows vista or 7. right click on the world folder, choose properties, and open the 'previous versions' tab. you may be able to restore the world to a previous version and not even need to post.

Maps fixed so far: A lot
Maps partially fixed: A couple
Maps that couldn't be saved: A few

Just upload your save (preferably zip'd or rar'd so people can open it) and we will try to fix it. More info on how to upload a save below.

If you get attached to a save, make regular backups. Like every day or so. You only really need 2 backups (in case one is bad as well). See the next post for info on how to make a backup.

What Info Should I Provide In This Thread?
You should post a save file, your system specs, your OS, your version of java, and any other details about the particular problem your save has. They have a number of different failure modes, so be as detailed as possible. If you only experience issues in a specific location, use F3 to get the coordinates and tell me exactly where it is.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE
I am developing a tool which will automatically attempt to scan save files for corruption and repair them. It will do such things as metadata merges and comprehensive chunk corruption restoration.[/farnsworth]

I have earned 8x from this thread.
