Recommendation on how to handle importing a world.

^{Originally posted by chaoscode July 2, 2022} I am attempting to move off a VM to this docker image for my daughters mc servers. The issue I am running into is important her world levels into the docker and have it be priested. I was thinking about forking the docker but I wanted to use your image to stay up to date. priested volumes don't help because I can not tell the game where the worlds folder is located. What is the best way to handle this?

also, every time the docker restarts the world is reset. How do you make the world levels priest?

So I wanna share how I solved this with everyone as I was doing this in TrueNAS Scale and I figured out how to make it work. This took me hours to nail down.

1: Create a new dataset called like "minecraft-bedrock-servername" 2: Copy world directories to the new dataset "minecraft-bedrock-servername" 2: create a defined volumn for the docker: a: Host Path = "/mnt/PoolName/minecraft-bedrock-servername" b: Mount Path = "data/worlds" 3: Add Server Container Environment Variable a: Environment Variable Name = "LEVEL_NAME" b: Environment Variable Value = "levelname"

Start the Application in TrueNAS Scale.
