If you have just buildings without machines/chests/portals and nothing in any other dimension other than the Overworld then you only need the region files.
But to answer the question properly we need to know what's in the map.
Fair enough. There is plenty of detail about what is in the world available if you follow the Arendelle castle link in my signature. I should have mentioned that before.
To save you the trouble of looking through that thread (unless you're interested, then by all means look away!) I will summarize it here.
- There is a large building in the overworld that will contain some chests/ iron chests and bibliocraft inventories and drawbridges around the place.
- I have been in the twilight forest/nether etc but I want to reset them/ not make them available on world download (I already destroyed the portals so people can remake them however)
- There are computercraft computers with active programs. I am also planning on storing some programs on disks but I reckon they will be stored just fine in item form. I am confident with the computercraft directory though because I edit that all the time
- Some ender chest frequencies have been used and I want to make sure that all will be ender chest frequencies are empty
Furthermore, even though there are folders present from different mods I have removed to the best of my knowledge all
- dartcraft stuff
- ender chests and tanks
- Jabba stuff
- Tesseracts (the COFH folder appears to be storing a list of used frequencies, can I delete it risk free?)
- I don't even have chickenchunks installed
- Same for IC2
- Portal gun
Some other mods I have installed but haven't used yet have created files/folders. I have no idea what there purpose is and if they are safely deletable or not.
If there is anything else you want to know about I will answer your questions as best I can.
What is the overworld's dimension id by the way? I know its between -1 and 1. If it is 0, I notice that there is no DIM0 folder? Would that mean that the region folder is basically the same thing as the DIM folder but specific to the overworld?
Finally? If I delete the player folder will it just delete the inventory and location of all players on the map (just me) or does it store other things, for example, I heard that is where Thaumcraft research is stored.
Naturally, I keep careful backups and I will experiment with removing files from the save folder to see if there are any adverse affects. I just want to know if any one had any good advice is all, so thanks for the contributions so far.
