Minecraft – Why did the Craftbukkit 1.7.2 map reset

minecraft-bukkitminecraft-java-edition

I am running a small homeserver with the latest craftbukkit 1.7.2 build.

Whenever they release a new version, I update my server asap.

However the last update somehow "reset" the map.
Spawnposition is now somehwere under ground, our buildings have all disappeared and the whole map looks like a fully new generated map.

I am wondering if this has something to do with the update or if the cause is more likely to be a plugin I have installed.

Following plugins are installed (they all are at latest version):

AntiCreeper3
CommandBin
DeathControl
PermissionBukkit

This is not a big issue to us as we hadn't built a lot. However I would like to know what causes this because we wan't to start a "permanent" LAN-server.

It seems that the properties file was overwritten with the update, and is likely loading a world that is, in fact, new.

This is probably due to you naming your world something other than "world" so, the folder it looks for when it loads the server will be whatever is set in the properties for the server, which is set by default to "world".

Just open the .properties file and set the default world to the folder name(your world name) from before and it will load that world.

As for the issue being plugin related, generally it wouldn't destroy your items, and if the plugins had issues, you would see it while breaking blocks, or the server simply wouldn't load the world at all.

Minecraft – Bukkit DefaultCommands Permissions

In my opinion, your best bet here is to use Essentials' GroupManager. It's simple to set up, gives OPs all available commands and lets normal users play with basic permissions. All you have to do is download the Essentials Suite from here, paste the Jar files into your plugins directory and start the server to let it generate the default files.

Then, open plugins/GroupManager/Worlds/World/Groups.yml with your favourite text editor and tweak it a little. By default, new players will be added to the default group, which has no building permissions. If you change build: false to build: true under the info section, they'll be able to place and destroy blocks, and use a very basic set of commands.

groups:
  Default:
    default: true
    permissions:
    - essentials.help
    - essentials.helpop
    - essentials.list
    - essentials.motd
    - essentials.rules
    - essentials.spawn
    inheritance: []
    info:
      prefix: '&e'
      build: false
      suffix: ''

  ...

If you want to give your users some more freedom, change default: false to default: true for the Builder group. You can also remove some commands you don't want them to have while still conserving the other ones, such as essentials.kit and essentials.kit.tools. You can also change the group of the already existing users editing plugins/GroupManager/Worlds/World/Users.yml.

For more advanced Permission management, I'd recommend Permissions 3.x before DefaultCommands.

Edit: Here's a really useful command reference for GroupManager: forums.fragnet.net/minecraft/588-essentials-command-reference.html

Your config seems to be a little off. Get the latest version of bukkit and then select the option for structures: true. That should fix.
