So, I have a server being setup for my kids and their friends. Naturally, I figured I would pre-generate a large chunk of the terrain, so I came here, as I have in previous years.
The problem is now, with a vanilla 1.17.1 server, I only get errors when trying to run MLG. To start, I loaded the server from the terminal, then I logged in, set the world spawn, and logged out, figuring that should be enough to get MLG started with:

[14:11:30 INFO]: EvilSupahFly lost connection: Disconnected

Then I loaded MLG with basic starting instructions, but it fails every time. The first time, I got this:

On all subsequent attempts, there's two extra lines in the terminal, which makes sense, given the initial failure:
[MLG-ERROR] There is a level_backup.dat file left over from a previous attempt that failed.
[MLG] Resuming...
Does MLG not work with newer versions of Minecraft?
