FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I have somehow created a crash machine on a server I play on (Minerealms).
As I don't recall which image hosting solutions I have accounts for, I will upload the picture.

About the picture(ignoring the awkward Gimp drawings):

• This whole thing is 1 block high excluding the ground (dirt; 1 block high all underneath), but I haven't tested if it matters if in same chunk
• The red circles show where the blocks are turned into stone, if on a separate chunk of the main lava, seem to crash the server.
• The lines is where the boundary could be to cause the crash (I only tested with one of the lines as a boundary).

I can reproduce it on the server, but as I did it enough already to cause other players grief (causing downtime), I don't want to try again.

As long as the cobble (stone) generator is within one chunk, it worked without errors.

I hope this gets fixed, somehow... even if the issue is the fault of a mod that is not from the standard game.

ahh, so you were the one causing the server to shut down :P

wish I could help, but I don't program

A thing you should now if water gets over lava that turns into obsidian and if lava gets over water it turns into stone.
now open minetest-->bin-->debug.txt open it and see if there is any error.

I found water turned lava into stone and lava_source into obsidian. Have you upgraded to 4.9 by chance?

I was not able to reproduce the crash. Could you please post the exact position of your generator and the mods the server uses.
If someone else wants to try, I made a .we file.

The only mod list I could use would come from looking up the server info (and only way I know of is from Freeminer's homepage)... besides that... I'll check the coords now.
The corners of the build are -115,15,420 and -107,15,428 if I got my memory correct.

Mods that are current as I checked the mulitplayer list (could be outdated or too new of a list because I'm using a website due to not having access to the server itself)
