!Help Wanted!

We are looking for a chunk error bug. We have opened one of our testservers to the public, hoping for lots of traffic, forcing this bug to show its face.

It is currently a 32 slot server, available for anyone to play on for a while, please remember we officially support 8 players in MP.

This server will NOT be available as a long term alternative to play on through the release of A20.

We might have to restart the server or world during that process.
