Minecraft World Broken, Can't Find Fix, Please Help

[Ambitiousmould]

I made a Minecraft server (using hamachi) and a permanent world hole appeared, which I ignored as it was rather out of the way. However, when the update came along and I had to update the server, I saved the world but when I tried to log back into it it wouldn't work. On the server it kept saying 'wrong location...' then some numbers and stuff. (I know I am not making this easy for people). I made a new world and the same thing happened. It let me log into the server until I took the world out (to briefly start a survival) then put that one back in, where it said:

wrong location! qq['Bat'/number...

I couldn't scroll across to get the rest of the message as it kept repeating this into the thousands very quickly. It did a similar thing but said 'Creeper' instead of 'Bat' while I could play it so I disable mobs, NPCs and animals, which stopped the creeper thing (it appeared that a great many creepers were going into the whole) but this isn't working. Basically, I am not good at these things and need someone who is.

Cheers.

There should be a file called server.log in the folder with your minecraft server files...you should be able to get the entire message there. Regardless, it sounds like you may have a corrupted chunk in your minecraft world. The solution may be to open up the folder your world is saved in and start moving the files from the region folder (that contain info for various sections of the map) one by one into a backup folder, retrying your server after moving each one. Once your server is running normally shut it down and put everything back except for the broken section. That area should regenerate though anything contained within it will be lost. Should fix your problems though, however I'm just making this up as I go - I've not tried this for myself.

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl. This is the most useful thing I've found in weeks.
