Frequently asked questions

How do I convert my existing world to use Linear Reader?
Linear Reader automatically converts your world's region files the first time you load it with the mod installed—no manual action needed. The mod will replace standard Anvil files with the Linear format as chunks are saved during normal gameplay.
Will Linear Reader work on my server without players needing to install it?
Yes, Linear Reader works server-side only and requires no client-side installation. Players can join and play normally; the mod handles compression and file format changes transparently on the server.
What's the difference between the fast and deep compression?
Fast compression (level 4) runs during active gameplay to keep CPU usage low and maintain smooth performance. Deep compression (level 22) automatically activates when the server is idle, aggressively shrinking file sizes without impacting players.
Can I go back to standard MCA files if I want to remove the mod?
Yes, use the command `/linearreader export-mca start` to convert your Linear format world back to standard Anvil region files. This creates a full backup in the standard format that works without the mod.
