How to disable The_End and The_Nether?

#1

Okay. So I’ve had my server for a while now. I use SpongeForge and Nucleus to generate new worlds. I have a world to Spawn and a world to Survival. Today, for the first time, I managed to get an error message in the console after removing a mod from my server. So I removed my default world (Spawn) and everything went well again. However, in the “world” directory, there are two other files called “DIM1” “DIM-1”. How do I remove these so there aren’t re-generating new ones after I start the server. I know this is The_End and The_Nether. And if I delete these world do I have to go into the config file for Sponge and remove the worlds there aswell?

Kind Regards,

You can disable the worlds in the world-specific config file.

The config for DIM-1 and DIM1 is
config/sponge/worlds/minecraft/nether/DIM-1/world.conf and
config/sponge/worlds/minecraft/the_end/DIM1/world.conf

Under the sponge section, make sure config-enabled is set to true so sponge will read the settings.

then under the world section, set world-enabled to false

Sponge should no longer register and load these worlds.

Oh. I forgot. When I was in config / sponge / worlds / minecraft / overworld / I also found a world called “Islands” As far as I know, the default world is the world: “world” if nothing else. I had like “Islands” and “World”. In the same overworld config ?

You probably had the another world called Islands at some point. It may have been the name of the world in server.properties but the default world name is “world”.

So I also found this worlds called: “dimension.conf” They’re can be found inside each world specific dir. What are these. Can they also be disabled or are they just there but doesn’t do anything to the gameplay?

There is a hierarchy of config files that corresponds to the hierarchy of world definitions.
Sponge makes a distinction between a “dimension” and a “world”
A dimension is a type of world (e.g. overworld, nether) whereas a world is a particular instance of that dimension.
In vanilla, you have one world per dimension i.e:

dimension:"overworld"
    -> world:"world"
dimension:"nether"
    -> world:"DIM-1"
dimension:"the_end"
    -> world:"DIM1"

However you may want to have multiple worlds of the same dimension, or have a plugin/mod that adds a new dimension.

The dimension.conf controls the configuration for that dimension, whereas a world.conf controls the config for that particular world instance.

Note that configs only take effect when config-enabled is true, by default they are false, meaning the default config is used (global.conf).
