[1.7.10] Regenerate Chunks in Game Help

[bears]

I want to regenerate some chunks in my world. I don't particularly want to stop the server, download the world files, open them in MCEdit, delete the chunks, upload the files again, and restart the server.

 

My solution was to use the ICBM rejuvenation missiles. Turns out those don't exist in the 1.7.10 version.

 

Because ICBM 1.6.4 is open source I figured it would be fairly simple to create a block with the code from ICBM that, when placed, regenerates the chunk it's in. Creative only, of course.

 

The code works in my development environment, but get the following error on both the server and client in singleplayer and multiplayer.

 

[java.lang.Throwable$WrappedPrintStream:println:-1]: java.lang.ClassCastException: net.minecraft.world.chunk.EmptyChunk cannot be cast to net.minecraft.world.chunk.IChunkProvider

 

You can see the ICBM code here. The regeneration code is identical, the only difference is I have placed the code in my regeneration block's onPlacedBy() method.
