I run an apex server and added the heaven datapack due to popular request but after finding out that it was WAY too op, I was not able to delete it because it would not let the server start up again.

I wont lie I'm a little new to hosting a server and I'm sorry if this is common but I went into the datapacks folder and removed it like how you're supposed to. However, the console looks for the datapacks still and eventually says "Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla with --safeMode". I've looked online and used AI to delete it but it doesn't seem to work.

How do I fix this?? Any help is appreciated.

PS. This is the datapack if necessary: https://modrinth.com/datapack/heaven-dimension-fabric

PPS. I tried asking this on reddit and the bot auto stopped everyone from commenting what the flip is that did I do sm wrong
another way is make a world with the SAME SEED
and transfer its level.dat files to your old world and it’ll work without the data pack
also why APEX hosting?
(this is unrelated but still somewhat of a problem. Not server wise…. Ish, but just host issue)
@Tamz you’d have to ask the developer on where it makes data points in the level.dat file so you can remove it

Hey thanks man I found the developer but I didn't have any way to actually message him

Are you saying I should boot up a single player world with the same seed with all the datapacks I want except the heaven one and then transfer the level.dat file into the server?

I wanted a server hoster for friends and it seemed like the best choice

tbf fair. but apex is a pretty big scam. if you are going long term (1-2 months) swap ASAP
Western MeadowlarkOP
Yeah I was looking at the different level.dat and level.dat_old and whatever files. Should I replace all of them too
just the level data files
that holds ALL the generation and important world related information
without that the world would brick

Oh really 😔 I didn't know, what else do I use I've been hosting this server for like 2 or 3 months
It was the paid server host that I heard the most about so I figured it'd be the most reliable or at least keep the server alive the longest

bloom host is good for beginners
Lilypad
Servcity
Pebblehost all round great host

if you want reliable
bloomhost has really good uptime and fast support
decent pricing too
Western MeadowlarkOP
Thank you I'll look into those. What makes apex a scam
and the specs as well
you pay a premium cost for below average
Western MeadowlarkOP
Yeah icl pricing looked kinds horrendous
yeahh
their monthly is a lie
you pay a First time monthly
then the next is like $5-15 more
