January 8 incident

The January 8 incident was an incident that took place on the Athens server on January 8, 2022.

The incident
faaeebian, a relatively new Athens player, attempted to use the //stack WorldEdit command to build a highway from Coraciva to Pinelles. However, he used an incorrect position on one of his corners, leading to a selection of 5,307,380 blocks. The server initially slowed down significantly, making it impossible for commands to work. Mobs also froze. The server was then restarted, and the damage was discovered. The incorrect usage of //stack resulted in a large chunk of land being stacked several times to the west. It led to odd structural issues west of Coraciva, such as a sandy swamp. A thin chunk of Little Tucson was also copied, leading to a small part of Little Tucson appearing in the Great Plains region east of Benkelman. The incident forced the Athens server to roll back three days.
