Short description of the problem (255 char limit)

Generated structures in Survival's Mineworld have no loot
​

What server are you reporting this issue on?

Survival - Mineworld
​

Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible.

Structures such as villages, witch huts, etc have no loot chests or NPCs within them. Villages have no villagers and where the loot chests are supposed to be there is nothing. Witch huts have no chest inside them nor do they contain a witch. The only generated structures that actually generate loot chests are mine shafts.
​

Please describe how to replicate the bug in as much detail as possible

It is unknown to me as of now whether or not this affects the Mineworld's End. The Mineworld was reset a day ago and so the Ender Dragon will have to be defeated in order to reach the outer end islands and find out; a task that I am not prepared to take on right now.
​

Any extra info we may need to know

I figured everything had been explored already before the reset. Apparently I was wrong and the structure generation is just broken and provides no loot.

This bug affects the Nether as well. Nether fortresses contain no chests, not even around the area where there's a lava block surrounded by Nether bricks, and the places where blaze spawners should be present are empty. The End islands must be affected too in that case.

Edit: Strongholds do not contain dispensers like they're supposed to either but end cities do contain loot chests.

Edit 2: No, no one looted them before me. I was the one who requested a Mineworld reset and was on TS when it was carried out. I was the only one on the survival server and the first to explore the new world. To prove it you can use whatever block logger you use to check the places in, desert temples for example, where the four chests would be above the nine TNT. There are a few close to spawn and I guarantee none of them will report block updates in the spots where the chests are missing because they never existed.

I reset the mineworlds just now since it is the beginning of the month and checked a couple villages, chests are spawning with loot in them. I found the bug you were talking about though. This is a bug due to the way sponge handles multiple worlds. The mineworlds were created for players to gather resources so the overworld wasn't destroyed, we were never concerned about chests before. I have been watching sponge for updates to how multiple worlds are handled for a long time now and so far nothing. There is no "fix" for this, only a band-aid. At the beginning of the month when mineworlds are reset I will have to stop the server, replace the worlds, start the server, then immediately restart the server again. The first start makes the new worlds load and clear old data. The restart will add the new data for the new worlds. An annoying round-a-bout way to get everything loaded and I promise that I will forget to restart more times then I remember but at least we know what's going on now.

Thank you for reporting this, I'll try to remember to do the extra restart.

Side note, ever notice those villages and other things that were generated in really weird ways? This is the cause of those as well. Sponge doesn't do a good job of getting rid of data and checking that things are right.

Yes actually I have several screenshots of villages stretching up to layer 230 and beyond. Or poking holes in extreme hills from 240 down to 60 at random. Glad a solution has been found for this though. Maybe now I can finally get some armor for my horses.

Edit: I'm going through the Mineworld right now and the only villages that contain loot chests and villagers are the ones that spawned in properly. The ones that are spawned underground or on pillars 200 blocks in the sky don't contain any entities. As for the nether, it seems to be just lootless overall. I don't think the server restart method changed anything.

A handful of days ago.... I went to some of the End Islands... and they had loot.
I don't really use the other mine worlds, so cannot comment on them
 
Yes, I thought I stated that the End islands are working properly. Perhaps it was in TeamSpeak. Though for future reference the End doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it. It's just the Nether and the Mineworld overworld.

Edit: I did mention that the End was working properly, though very briefly. I'll leave this here though because I missed it when I went over my previous posts too.

We appreciate your feedback, Firestar, and as Witch stated earlier he's been watching for a true fix from sponge.

In the meantime, Mineworld isn't really intended to be a source of loot chests. The main purpose of mineworld is to be a source of blocks and other resources and what loot chests do spawn should be considered an added bonus instead of the expected norm.
