    Greetings, I am somewhat new to the server but had a suggestion I think would be a good improvement regarding the migration to 1.13.2 and the map reset. (Might be a rumor, but even if so this could be used for any intended reset)

    Many players, other than farming, also enjoy building. That said, I believe providing a backup of the map for single-player usage would be a way to allow everyone to keep their buildings after the reset.

    Even being a good solution, the major issues with this is the fact that the filesize may be massive. (Dozens of gigabytes, probably) and would be cumbersome to some to download all of that-

    What I propose is a service provided by your site that features the map backup for download and the possibility of generating a personal map file on-demand that features only the claims territory.

    From my research I've found nothing that could do this out of the box., yet I decided to leave this suggestion here anyway.

    TL;DR:
    1. Provide map file backups before doing any reset on the server.
    2. Provide a minimized map file based on a certain user's claim area.
    Thank you for your time.
    Hope the suggestion rings a bell.
