Solved Cloning Worlds (1.8.8)

I have been trying for some time to clone a world, specifically to be used in a minigame. The map is too big for a schematic so I am trying to just clone an untouched, original world to a world that players actually join and play in. For those who will suggest it, I have tried this which gives me LOTS of chunk errors, I have also tried using Multiverse's API, the cloneWorld(String oldName, String newName, String generator) returns errors because something is null in the API. If anyone has working methods of cloning a world, or any suggestions to fix any errors discussed above, I would be thankful to know.

 

@Lightcaster5 Since copying file need to play with outputstream and it's not easy to figure , here u go

Get the folder of the map into a file, create a new folder in the same repertory with the name of your world, then use the method copyFolder()

 

Thanks but will I still have to remove the uid.dat file from the newly created world?

EDIT: Just as I suspected... chunk errors galore!
Code:

Code:

    public static void resetWorld(Integer gameID) {
        String resetMapName = Main.plugin.getConfig().getString("maps." + gameID + ".reset-map-name");
        World source = Bukkit.getWorld(resetMapName);
        File sourceFolder = source.getWorldFolder();

        File target = new File(gameID.toString());

        copyFolder(sourceFolder, target);
    }

This chunk that the console is spammed with is repeated when joining and leaving the new world:

Code:

Couldn't save chunk; already in use by another instance of Minecraft?

After a lot of struggle and finally finding and piecing together parts that work, I have found a solution. After running and testing the final code several times, I am very happy to say there are no chunk errors!

Here is the code:

Code:

    private static void copyFileStructure(File source, File target) {
        try {
            ArrayList<String> ignore = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("uid.dat", "session.lock"));
            if (!ignore.contains(source.getName())) {
                if (source.isDirectory()) {
                    if (!target.exists())
                        if (!target.mkdirs())
                            throw new IOException("Couldn't create world directory!");
                    String files[] = source.list();
                    for (String file : files) {
                        File srcFile = new File(source, file);
                        File destFile = new File(target, file);
                        copyFileStructure(srcFile, destFile);
                    }
                } else {
                    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(source);
                    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(target);
                    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                    int length;
                    while ((length = in.read(buffer)) > 0)
                        out.write(buffer, 0, length);
                    in.close();
                    out.close();
                }
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
    public static void copyWorld(World originalWorld, String newWorldName) {
        File copiedFile = new File(Bukkit.getWorldContainer(), newWorldName);
        copyFileStructure(originalWorld.getWorldFolder(), copiedFile);
        new WorldCreator(newWorldName).createWorld();
    }

Usage:

Code:

copyWorld(Bukkit.getWorld("OriginalMap"), "CopiedMap");
