Updated my server to 1.13 just 2 days ago. When I logged in noticed various areas of my rail system were missing. Went out and started fixing them. Then hit a large area that wasn't showing. Talked on IIRC : Removed other conversations:
09:41 <Ordate> I just updated my personal server to 1.13. While looking what had been goofed I came across a 5 area chunk that is not loading. one in each cardinal direction and the center. Ive restarted the server, changed render distance on the client and nothing seems to be helping. Help?
09:42 <@Odysseius> Ordate, Could you show us a screenshot of the area not loading?
09:43 <Ordate> sure give me a min, takes a bit so that the whole chunk strip doesnt disappear
09:43 <@Odysseius> Ordate, Is it always the same place, and does it always fail to load?
09:43 <Ordate> same place
09:43 <Ordate> and yes
09:46 <Ordate> sec looking to see how to send a screenshot

09:55 <@Odysseius> Ordate, Can you see those chunks when you open the world in Singleplayer?

10:39 <@Odysseius> Ordate, Have you ever used any third party tool on the world?
10:40 <@Odysseius> Ordate, Also, what happens if you try to walk into the chunks?
10:40 <Ordate> No always pure vanilla

10:50 <@Odysseius> Ordate, Seems like it's a corruption issue with the world files, usually caused by abrupt crashing while the files are in use.
Problem is there hasn't been a crash of the server since I updated. Kind of at wits end what to do with this.

Comment from my end: Log doesn't show any corruption apart from something else entirely (village files). I suspected that the world was, at some point, terminated unexpectedly (could have been a server restart or similar). It is always the same chunks apparently.
@Ordate: Would you be able to provide a download to the world in some way? If you want, you can try to figure out which world files you need to keep for just those chunks to be there (for instance, you can remove Nether and End files), and do it in Singleplayer so we spawn exactly where we need to in order to test it.

I might need a touch of a walk through on how to do so but I can copy over whatever is needed.
On the terminated unexpectedly, the world had crashed prior to me switching to 1.13 but that area wasn't missing back then. Since I flipped to 1.13 is when I have seen the missing area but haven't had any crashes. I've stopped the server here and there but haven't had my server go out unexpectedly.

Also if it would be easier then sending files, I can always send server info to mods/Mojang. Just would have to set people to some rights

Would love to get this resolved. Want to check out 1.13, but dont want to do anything if my world is going to go kaput. If you need the files, give me a little direction and Ill get them uploaded.

Please check if that's still an issue for you in the latest 1.14.4 stable release or the latest 1.15 development snapshot.
