Small script to detect scattered chunks in Minecraft worlds

Minecraft Region Pruner

By Alejandro Aguilera (Fenixin)

Small script that tries to detect scattered region files in Minecraft worlds.

This program uses the nbt library by twootlie.

Supported platforms

This program seems to work with Python 2.7.x, and DOESN'T work with python 3.x.

How it works

It counts the chunks in every region file, then if a region file has less than '--threshold' chunks the neighbour region files are scanned in a 3x3 grid centered in this region file. If one of the neighbours has more than '--threshold' chunks the region file is considered sane, otherwise the region file goes to the list of bad region files.

This list will be printed at the end of the program. You can delete all these region files using the '--delete' option.

Warning

This script has been tested in one or two worlds... so, MAKE ABACKUP OF YOUR WORLD BEFORE RUNNING THIS, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE OF WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR WORLD. Think that you are playing with you precious saved games :P

Good luck! :)
