Dear quickly growing Community
v1.12.5-rc.1/rc.2, an unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager
It seems that all previous versions of the game have an issue where when you set up a dedicated server, any new world will generate with the patchy climate configuration. This ends up making some players spawn in a hot and wet climate where there is little food available.
If are a server owner and you'd like to fix that here's some solutions that come to mind:
-
Stay on v1.12.4: Fly around in creative mode (/gamemode creative then F3 to fly, F2 to speed up), find a better spot, then set up 2 teleporters between there and spawn and link them up. You can find the teleporter in the creative inventory (Hint: Teleporter, not translocator). That would let new players find more food and keep the current world.
-
Stay on v1.12.4: You can correct the mistake in the serverconfig.json and then create a new world, see below for instructions
-
Install v1.12.5-rc.1 or wait until stable, then create a new world
Single player worlds are not affected by this issue. Beyond that this release contains multiple bugfixes and a few small tweaks.

Patchy climate fix:
To make dedicated servers in version 1.12.4 generate realistic climate bands, you would need to shut down the server, open serverconfig.json replace
"WorldConfiguration": null,
with
"WorldConfiguration": {
"worldClimate": "realistic",
"gameMode": "survival",
"temporalStability": true,
"temporalStorms": "sometimes",
"graceTimer": "0"
},
and then generate a new world. The bug should be hotfixed in version 1.12.5.
