[BDS-22731] Error with minecraft:jigsaw_structure_metadata after upgrading from 1.21.80.3 to 1.21.90.4

I had a running Bedrock server with no issues on launch. After a client update was received, I updated the server version to match and now get this error when launching the server. The world itself seems fine, no damaged chunks on preliminary inspection.

I installed all files in the zip except the server.properties which I used my existing config.

Environment

Server:
Windows 10 Pro
Intel i7 5930k
32GB RAM
configured for 4 max threads

I’m seeing this also.

Still happening on 1.21.91.1

I get the same error message.

Hi!
Thank you for the report, however the issue was temporarily closed as Awaiting Response.

Please provide a detailed repro steps for this issue.
Is this issue still present with fresh server.properties file?
Are there any addons installed?

The ticket will automatically reopen once you reply. Thanks!

Elliott Berglund 2025-07-11T16:21:32Z

I don’t think this is server.properties related because the only things I’ve changed are server-name, gamemode, difficulty, allow-cheats, max-players, and level-name. If I replace the server-properties, it won’t load the world, it will generate a new world. Are you asking me to see if the issue occurs with a new world instead?

There are no addons installed

Reproduction steps are:

Run version 1.21.80.3
Be forced to update server to 1.21.90.4 because the client updated
Observe error in log on server startup

Hello again!
Thank you for your response, however

We could not reproduce this issue, and it seems to be world related. Can you provide the world where the issue is present on?

The ticket will automatically reopen once you reply. Thanks!

Elliott Berglund 2025-07-17T15:14:35Z

Here’s the world files.

Hi there!
Thank you for your response!

However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response

Are there any other necessary steps that could help us to reproduce this issue?

Except for the server.properties and worlds folder, were there any other files that was not replaced during update?

Can you provide all the server files to help us investigate the issue?

This ticket will automatically reopen once you reply. Thanks!

Hi there!
Thank you for your response!

However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response

We are not able to run the server, is it blocked with password by any chance?
Can you please check again if this issue is present after replacing ALL files except for the server.properties and worlds directory?

As we stated in previous comments, we are not able to reproduce this issue, that is why we ask to check whether the server was updated correctly.

This ticket will automatically reopen once you reply. Thanks!

The error is resolved when the files and folders are reloaded cleanly onto the server (e.g., bedrock-server-1.21.95.1).
Delete them first, don't just add and overwrite them.

Folder & File Structure
Files:
bedrock_server
profanity_filter.wlist

Folder:
behavior_packs
definitions
resource_packs

George Lianeas 2025-09-26T12:38:09Z

Deleted the files and folders that I would replace for the update, replaced them (from scratch) with the files and folders from the updated server folder.

The error message stopped to appear but…

I have extreme lag to the nether fortress.

HELP!
