My server is fairly new, so when we heard the 1.17 update was coming, we only mildly panicked.
We figured we would just extend the world border and allow new chunks to generate, no problemo.
There is NO WAY we are resetting our map, our players would revolt!
We could also extend the /rtp rage. Players wouldn't even notice???
BUT, the y level change is gonna make it such a mess!
When new chunks load at -64 next to chunks from the old map... arent people going to be able to just dig right below bedrock?!!!
HOW are we going to do this? We cannot have chunks of varying levels (bedrock) without issues.
>>Does anyone have a plan for how to do this update without losing your current world and all your players hard work?
If we simply expand the map to generate new chunks, where-ever old chunks meet new chunks, wouldn't that would leave a 64 block gap where players could mine underneath the bedrock?
Maybe you could use a utility to fill in the sub-bedrock gap with bedrock for all the old chunks. I'm not familiar with modern map editors, but in the past, I would have used mcedit or pymclevel to do that.
Thanks guys. I guess I am panicking prematurely. The release hasn't even come out yet!
My devs informed me they plan on expanding the map to 30k x 30k when 1.17 is released, so my brain exploded with all the issues it could create!
This is going to be a massive undertaking if mojang doesnt have a migration path for server owners to implement.
Will just wait and see once it's released and plan from there.
Fingers crossed!!!
Do any of you have a "Server Owner" Discord group or owner specific Forum you know of that I could join to keep up with others and their ideas?
Message me if its not allowed to be posted in here plz.
Just make a plugin when you do like for example /bedrocksolve it fills all the void blocks in the world from Y 0 to -64 with bedrock/barrier blocks or something?

The Bedrock-layer keeps on the same place.
The building area is from -64 to 320

Oh - that's interesting
If you are on a server, then you can work with worldguard
Add a region to the 1.16 area void and let this region overlap with 1 or 2 blocks to the new area - so the players cant destroy these walls

I'd wait to see how Mojang provides a migration path for old worlds before panicking.
