That man deserves a medal. It worked perfectly ... a bit too perfect since I was far outside my base and died in a newly generated lavapool *LOL*
Does this finally mean I won't have to sit at a crucible pulling ingots out of a mold now?
Is it safe to delete the entire level.dat instead of pruning it to regenerate it from scratch? Or is this going to result in there being no starting base? I'm asking because I want to start from scratch on 1.3.0 and I'm too impatient to wait for karma to update the map him/herself.
I believe the level.dat file holds the overall information regarding you and the entire world. The information regarding the physical structure of the world (ie. all of the blocks, entities, and tile entities are stored within the files in the region directory). Deleting the level.dat file effectively deletes the entire save as far as Minecraft is concerned. If you want to keep your base and your inventory you have to use MCEdit and use the prune function to remove everything except for your base (make sure you are inside the chunks that you want to keep or you might die when you load your world).
Hey, Do I also need to MC EDIT the world or only to do this ? Because i did that and i dont see anything different to my world ? Should i explore far away from places I haven't been to get then new stuff ?
The MCEdit part is to remove the terrain, deleting the files I listed is so that the regenerated terrain has new random stuff.
