Overworld settings missing on every world i make

Every world I create loads fine the first time, but after I save and quit and try to rejoin, I get "Errors in currently selected data packs prevented the world from loading." Clicking Safe Mode gives "This world contains invalid or corrupted save data."
The error is always the same. Overworld settign missing
This happens on every single new world I create.

NEW (1st week) vanilla mc server with no owner/admin abusing (WOW)

Good luck with this, the no admin abuse thing is the rarest commitment on the list and honestly the hardest to stick to long term. Hope you actually mean it because most servers I've seen advertise that lasted about three weeks before the owner banned someone for "vibes."

Best Minecraft hosts in 2026 (from someone who's been running servers since 2012)

I've been running Minecraft servers since 2012, almost all of them modded. Started back in the early FTB days (anyone else remember Mindcrack pack?), been through Tekkit, RLCraft, ATM, Better MC, you name it. In that time I've cycled through probably a dozen hosts and gotten burned more than once. Figured I'd write up what I'd actually recommend now, since the "best Minecraft host 2026" articles are 90% affiliate spam.

Going from what I'd pick today down to the bigger names everyone already knows.

ServerPrism
This is what I'm on right now (running ATM10 with 10 friends). Pricing is €1.95/GB at the entry tier and 8 GB lands at €12.48/month. Hardware is Ryzen 9-series, DDR5 ECC, NVMe Gen4, 10 Gbps with DDoS, basically the same stuff the bigger hosts charge twice as much for.
What sold me was the splitting. You buy one plan and carve it up however you want (Minecraft server + Velocity proxy + a small DB) with no per-split fee. After running modded servers for over a decade I've stopped counting how many times I wished I could just split RAM around without juggling 3 separate billing accounts. This finally solved it. I run my MC server and a Velocity proxy off the same plan now.
The other thing I appreciate is that you can swap modpacks (or even server type entirely) from the panel and your data stays intact, so you can switch back anytime without losing progress. So if I want to test a new pack but keep my ATM10 world ready to swap back to, I just toggle between them. Saved me a few times when a new pack turned out to be a dud.

Locations: Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. Covers most communities. Panel is functional but not as flashy as Bisect's.

CloudNord
Similar hardware story to ServerPrism (Ryzen, NVMe, DDoS, 10 Gbps), but the pricing model is à la carte. $1.00 to $1.60 per GB depending on tier, 8 GB is around $11.24. You can dial RAM up or down by single GB, which is genuinely useful if you're tuning a modded server and aren't sure what you actually need. Modpack switching is the same one-click flow with no manual file/config transfer.
If you're doing a single straightforward MC server, CloudNord is a hair cheaper. If you're running a network or want splitting, ServerPrism is the one. Locations across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. Support has been quick in my experience, ticket replies usually within an hour.

Apex
Old reliable. Used them for about a year on a Tekkit Legends server way back. $14.99 for 4 GB, $29.99 for 8 GB, $79.99 for 15 GB. Hardware is Ryzen 9 7950X with NVMe and Multicraft is genuinely beginner-friendly.
Locations: 18 data centers including US, Canada, Brazil, UK, France, Germany, Singapore, Australia and more. The widest geographic spread of anyone on this list. Honestly nothing wrong with Apex other than you're paying maybe 50 to 80% more than you need for the same hardware. If you've never run a server before, fair pick.

Shockbyte
The budget pick. $2.50/GB flat. 8 GB is $20, 16 GB is $40. AMD EPYC 4464P, NVMe, unlimited slots and storage. Performance is fine for vanilla and light plugin servers. Wouldn't run a heavy modpack on it though.
Locations: North America, Europe, Australia, and Singapore (4 regions). Catch is support. People regularly wait 5 to 12 days for billing tickets. Had a payment issue with them once that took a full week. Fine if nothing breaks.

BisectHosting
You've seen them sponsor every Minecraft YouTuber. $3.00/GB monthly, dedicated IP is +$3.99. Mostly Ryzen these days, some Xeon. 2,300+ modpacks on one click, 21 locations, the most of any host here.
Two things to know. The first month promo isn't the renewal price, so check what you're paying month two, and the budget plans are noticeably weaker than premium. Don't compare Bisect Budget vs other hosts' standard plans, that's not apples to apples. For modpack-heavy workflows their tooling is genuinely the best, I'll give them that.

Quick sanity-check table:
Host
$/GB
8 GB
Locations
ServerPrism
€1.95
€12.48
EU, NA, Asia, AU
CloudNord
$1.00 to $1.60
~$11.24
EU, NA, APAC
Apex
~$3.75
$29.99
18 worldwide
Shockbyte
$2.50
$20
NA, EU, AU, SG
Bisect
$3.00
~$24
21 worldwide

For Forge/NeoForge specifically I'd skip Shockbyte (memory headroom gets tight on bigger packs), and pick between ServerPrism/CloudNord for value or Bisect if you want hand-holding on modpacks.

Curious what others here are running. Anyone tried Pebble's premium tier recently? Heard mixed things.

What Actually Makes a Forge Mod Feel “High Quality”?

Very good summary, and quite accurate: the difference between a good mod and an excellent mod often lies in the invisible quality rather than the content.
