My server (v1.6.5) just crashed, and has this error:




I have tried to replace the level.dat, but the error occured again immediately after the world generated.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Got the same problem here, im hosting a Windows-server.

I had the same problem on a Windows server. My friends and I did not want to lose our world. I fixed it by downloading the latest Minecraft_server.exe. I renamed my original server folder from "Server" to "ServerOld" then created a New folder called "Server". Moved the new Minecraft_Server.exe to the new Server folder. From the ServerOld folder I copied the "world" folder into the new Server folder. Once I executed Minecraft_Server.exe all was back to normal again.
Hope this helps.

Had a similar error on a server designed for testing, I used MC edit to copy the valued creations to a new world.

Good luck with your worlds!

I had the same problem. I fixed it by deleting the files the server creates and re-download the server application. After that you can play the server with the settings you want now.
