Little Accidents

Category:Server Features

== Oops! ==
A general term of reference for accidents that tend to be far from "little" in reality, usually caused by typos or other dramatic fuckups when using admin tools. Associated with CRASHC0N especially.
Such incidents usually involve the annihilation or irreversible alteration of large portions of landscape and man-made structures, the spontaneous creation of horrible ugly unnatural monstrosities, and other misuse of dangerous admin and moderator commands resulting in general crashing of clients and servers alike.

== Notable Little Accidents ==
=== The Great Discsaster ===
* Effect: Seven massive stone cylinders resembling discs overloaded the server and caused the server to crash.
* Perpetrator: CRASHC0N
* Tool: WorldEdit
* Cause: AgentMellohiCrow, who wanted an island built for their Oaklore Project, did not properly specify to CRASHC0N how large they needed the island to be, and did not realize the actual size of one chunk.
* Solution: CRASHC0N cleaning up the affected area after ensuring the initial crash did not corrupt the world.
=== Botched Discsaster Clean-up ===
* Effect: The server began to stall miserably, and eventually crashed again while the ocean water attempted to replenish itself in absence of the stone. 
* Perpetrator: CRASHC0N
* Tool: WorldEdit
* Cause: Aforementioned stone cylinders were world-edited away too quickly.
* Solution: Each stone disc had to be cleaned up one at a time instead of all at once.
=== Entity Massacre ===
* Effect: All entities surrounding spawn for several hundred blocks were killed in an instant.
* Perpetrator: CRASHC0N
* Tool: /Kill command
* Cause: While attempting to kill only the invisible armor stands in entry spawn, they mistyped the command and killed all entities within the specified radius. 
* Solution: Entities were manually respawned and replaced by CRASHC0N. 
=== Grassy Misclick+Typo ===
* Effect: Several biomes were encapsulated in a cube of tall grass, which spontaneously split apart into seed items, crashing all connected clients, and finally the server itself.
* Perpetrator: CRASHC0N
* Tool: WorldEdit
* Cause: Selecting positions in incorrect and unintended locations, combined with a typo of specifying "grass" instead of "grass_block" when executing the command.
* Solution: Rolling back the damage using CoreProtect after it was ensured that the server was stable, and that no chunks had been corrupted. 
=== The Ocean Oopsie ===
* Effect: Half of Rhapsody's ocean was drained at once, causing the server to crash.
* Perpetrator: CRASHC0N
* Tool: WorldEdit
* Cause: A typo while executing the /drain command that caused a radius of over 5000 blocks to be drained at one time rather than 50.
* Solution: Rolling back the damage using CoreProtect after it was ensured that the server was stable, and that no chunks had been corrupted.
=== The Biome Buggar-up ===
* Effect: A massive area in the overworld briefly became a nether biome, which caused hundreds of nether mobs to spawn at one time, crashing the server.
* Perpetrator: CRASHC0N
* Tool: WorldEdit
* Cause: CRASHC0N playing recklessly with /setbiome to find a desired grass color for a custom biome they were working on.
* Solution: Frantically changing the biome back to its original state once the server came back online, and employing the /butcher command to rid the affected area of the several hundreds of nether mobs.
