Can't remove unknown blocks?

by RAPHAEL » Post

I had a mod and removed it due to issues with it. The map now has unknown blocks there but I can't remove them. I dig them then they vanish and reappear.

Hmm. Normally you should be able to remove unknown blocks. Did they by any chance have metadata on them?

To remove unknown items and entities, you could try /clearobjects.

Use Sfan5' Nuke mod, or Nemo08's Dynamite, this actually works.

/clearobjects only clear unknown items...

/clearobjects doesn't remove the unknown blocks. Nukes cannot be used since the objects are on the roof of my "home".

More information. I had the pumpkin mod but it kept randomly crashing minetest so I removed it. I then went to remove the unknown blocks on my roof (roottop garden) and they would appear to be removed but then reappear. They also spread. I dug them and a nearby block and when they reappeared the nearby dug block turned into an unknown block. What started with just pumpkin plant and pumpkins being unknown turned into pumpkin plant, pumpkins, stonesquare and some dirt turning into unknown blocks.

I finally just put pumpkin back on, removed the pumpkin items and removed it again. I hope there wont be issue with "wild" pumpkin unknown blocks.

I'm trying to remove madblocks from an awesome map on my multiplayer server. Madblocks has plants which grow on grass. I can't remove them, even if I re-install madblocks.

The engine should provide some way to remove mods safely, or at least allow you to remove unknown blocks.

You can use WorldEdit to remove unknown blocks.

Hi,

Objects are one thing and Entity are another:

for deleting Objects I use this mod by PilzAdam:
viewtopic.php?id=2777

When you have installed and enabled this mod, open the chat and write

Code: Select all

 /rm 100
and all the unknown objects finded in the range of 100 blocks are deleted.

- for deleting Entity, open the chat and write

Code: Select all

 /clearobjects
.

I know these methods. I do not know if there are any others. It would be nice if there was a single command to write:
Clear Objects ->

Code: Select all

 /clearobjects o
Clear Entity ->

Code: Select all

 /clearobjects e
Clear All ->

Code: Select all

 /clearobjects a
I hope it can be useful to someone

Well after hours trying to repair a server that was down for over a year... hooking a linux ext4 drive to windows (having to download a driver and naming tool), only to remember the nightmare of the "Snow" MOD >_< snow everywhere, and Minetest adds a weather condition of snow in the base! well removing the Snow mod leavs 90% of your world covered in unknown blocks!

My final solution...

Make the snow HOT!

add " hot = 1, " to every group in as many lua files as possible lol
