Minecraft – Moving From Vanilla Server to Bukkit

minecraft-bukkitminecraft-java-editionserver-administration

I have a server running the standard, unmodified Vanilla server on a Linux box. After talking to the people on the server we have decided that moving to a Bukkit Server would be better because of the awesome plugins.

However, it seems that Minecraft generates "nether" and "overworld" files differently than Bukkit. Bukkit generates a world and a world_nether folders. I have read the forum post that copying the Vanilla's world folder to world and world_nether seems to work but I feel like this a a bit hackish and might cause problems in the future.

Has anyone successively done this?

Here is what I did. Bukkit generates a world and a world_nether folder.

I moved the vanilla/world/regions to bukkit/world/regions and then moved vanilla/world/DIM-1 to bukkit/world_nether/DIM-1
