MTR 4 for Server Admins

Learn what you need to know to migrate your Minecraft server towards MTR 4!

Before migrating

  • Some addons like Nemo Transit Expansion and TransitManager does not have an MTR 4 version. Please double-check your addon list and evaluate your path before upgrading.
  • MTR 4 requires a Minecraft version of either 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1 or 1.20.4. Consider upgrading/downgrading your Minecraft version if you are not using a version listed here.
  • Make a backup before you attempt to migrate, it's an irreversible process!

Migration

You may now shut down the Minecraft Server, replace the MTR 3 mod and put MTR 4 mod in the server's mod directory.

After that you can start the server. The first startup may take longer as MTR tries to automatically migrate your MTR 3 data into MTR 4.

After the server has started, you should run the /mtr generate command to refresh all depot's path and make trains run again.

Upgrading Minecraft Version

While upgrading Minecraft version may seems like a straight forward steps, there are some attention needed, more importantly:

  • Datapacks may break as command syntax changes between Minecraft version
  • When upgrading from 1.16/1.17 to 1.18+, terrain generation will differs, and you will not be able to regenerate your terrain back to it's 1.17 form, even with the use of WorldEdit.
  • When upgrading to 1.20, the font json format has changed. Continue using the old format would cause (i.e. JCM PIDS) to show up as square font.
