Planning on making some not-so-minor changes to world operations #27

I just did this on my server, and it made things a lot more reliable.

Rather than running things like the biome extractor, mcmap, or the overviewer against the live world while the server is running (even in save-off mode), potentially having my server not saving peoples' work for quite some time (my map has gotten rather large), I now at the start of my routine run save-off, rsync the map into a staging directory, run save-on, and do all my operations on the staging location. The downside is that this takes a little longer to get started, but it has increased server reliability.

I'm confused... this is already done... the whole reason for 'sync' and the additional commands like 'minecraft.sh cartography sync'...

You even had a pull request for the version of the script that contains that...

I guess I really don't get where you are coming from on this as we already did this quite some time ago..

Perhaps I was having a bit of a brain fart, it looked like that was only partially done when I skimmed the code this morming. If after I've taken a closer look, it is indeed already done, feel free to utterly disregard this conversation.

It's also entirely possible I was looking at an unrelated script. Apologies for any confusion.
