gollark: Well, I've no idea what to do now...
gollark: Seems like they're *mostly* gone. Wonderful.
gollark: A great example of why you should constantly take backups like I forgot to!
gollark: They'll either magically come back (I really hope so) or I'll need to reset everything or manually fix it in creative.
gollark: Since I have that flag for clearing blocks for unused mods on, I worry that this *may* accidentally have wiped every modded block.
