Questions about what to do before updating my game

[rsingh592]

Hey all, first ever forum poat for me. I wanted to know what to do in my world before i update the game to 1.22. I know its probably a month before stable release but i wanna get an idea so i can set put to do them. I also wanted to know if theres a chunk regeneration tool like tgere is for minecraft so that the world can be regenerated with the update rules but excluding my base

Hello and welcome to the forums!

At the moment you just need to backup your 1.21 world, then you can launch the world in the new update with no worries.

There are commands to regenerate chunks, but it will likely be difficult to try to use them to regenerate everything but the chunks around your base. A better solution is to use the world editor tool to save your structures as blueprints, then place them in a brand new world. You may also want to make a list of stored resources, as I'm not sure that chest contents and whatnot are saved in the blueprint.

Keep in mind that 1.22 Pre 1 will probably not be fully compatable with the stable release. That is how it has been in the past couple pre releases. They are more for testers to find bugs and not meant to be played as a long game. Save a copy of your world so you can load it back after playing around in 1.22.

I also have a question, will 1.22 world generation-related content not appear in my world when I update it or will the content appear in chunks I haven’t explored yet?

I haven't heard anything that says it will or won't, but in the 1.20 the new content didn't load in unless you started a new game.

Welcome to the forums and the game! Going along with what @Zane Mordien already said, to my knowledge new worldgen content will only appear in new chunks. Old chunks will remain the same, unless you use a command to regenerate them.

Yeah normally in any game that has chunk loading, new content only appears in new chunks.

Do any chunks that haven't been explored count as new chunks? I don't wanna abandon my world and make a new one for 1.22

Yes, if they haven't loaded yet. You can also manually load the story points with some commands. I would just wait until stable before you move your long term world to 1.22.
