Just a quick question, I am actually interested in how this works, will we be able to convert our existing worlds into 1.4 to work with infinite. I asked this question long ago but never got a clear answer. I feel now since 1.4 is out (still being worked on obviously). How would this work? I can imagine that the world borders can become a bit messy!
Is there a link you can provide to where they said this? I follow their twitter closely and never saw anything about it, which is also why I am asking in the first place.
Nope. All 0.8.1 worlds will work in 0.9.0 and above. I'm not sure if they said that they could be changed into infinite worlds though, but last I heard they said that they were working on a way to change them into infinite, but when you do so, it'll generate an infinite world using the old world generator. I'm not sure about PocketMine and it's capabilities are, though. You'd have to ask @shoghicp on that one.
I'll have to create a new map for my server.....It would be great, if you could convert 0.8.1 worlds into 0.9.0 worlds with the new terrain generator.
Heck, infinite worlds are so awesome, I could care less about the current maps I have. We spent A LOT of time on them but I would rather have infinite worlds.
I heard that 0.8.1 worlds will still work on 0.9.0, but converting the worlds to infinite will be in a later version.
i read on google+ that you need to backup your maps i think they said that so you dont loose them when you update to 0.9.0 but i am not sure what they are talking about
They were talking about people that are beta testing that they should backup they're maps just incase something goes wrong.
