      I own a minecraft server and I somewhat regularly use MCASelector to delete unused chunks from the server to decrease the backup size. For this I download the entire world, start up this extremely slow program and let it run for a couple minutes. Then I reupload the trimmed world to the server. But whenever there comes out a new verion that program isn't working and I have to wait for an update. I was thinking there must be a better way to do this other than that I use a program that someone other than Mojang wrote to decrease the backup size.

       

      Additionaly I tried automating it but virtually all the anvil-parsing libraries are getting outdated quickly. These are all just voluntary projects from people that obviously need this for some reason. If they wouldn't need it these libraries wouldn't exist.

       

      Please add some option in the server.properties or somewhere else to delete chunks on server shutdown either if

      • their InhabitedTime is below a certain treshold
      • the chunk hasn't been modified by a player (i.e blocks added/removed)

      If this problem is already solved and I'm just doing it wrong please let me know what the current best practice here would be.
