Minecraft Error: Missing Mods in World

Hello! 🌟

If you’re a Minecraft server owner who enjoys experimenting with different modpacks, you’ve likely encountered a common error when switching between versions or different packs. 🤔

Imagine you’re excited to try out a new modpack 🎒, and when you start your server, you see the following message in the console:

“This world was saved with this mod but it is no longer installed. Things may not work properly.” What a hassle! 😤 But don’t worry, we’re here to help you understand and fix this issue.

The Cause 😱

This error occurs because your server is trying to load a world that contains elements from mods that are no longer installed. These elements are called "ghost entities" 👻. Even though the mods are gone, the entities remain in your world, which can prevent your server from starting correctly.

Quick Fix: The /fml confirm Command

Most of the time, you can bypass this issue by simply using the /fml confirm command in the console. This forces the server to acknowledge the problem before loading the world and acts as a safeguard against potential corruption.

⚠️Note: This solution isn’t always foolproof, but it’s a good first step. 🚶‍♂️

❗Common Error When Using /fml confirm❗

If you still encounter issues after using /fml confirm, it’s possible that the ghost entities 👻 are too numerous or complex to be ignored. In this case, you’ll need to take more drastic measures.

Final Solution: Reset the World

If the /fml confirm command doesn’t work, the only surefire solution is to reset your world. This involves removing all ghost entities and allowing the world to regenerate without them.

Steps to Reset Your World:

1. Delete ❌ the world directory from your server control panel.

2. Restart ⌛ the server to generate a new world.

Revert to a Previous Version

If you don’t want to lose your current world, another option is to revert to the previous version ⬅️ of the modpack or set of mods that worked with your world. This will restore the missing entities and blocks, allowing the server to start correctly.

❗Common Mistake❗:

Forgetting to back up: Always remember to back up your world before making major changes! This can save you a lot of headaches. 😅
