I am preparing for the event that we will adapt our map, biomes and factions to the new update of the LOTRmod, PB31, scheduled for release halfway February. I want to be prepared well and I want the community to be prepared too, as it will require some cooperation and use of common sense. To be able to be fully prepared I also want to test out the methods of adapting map, identifying and selecting region files for deletion and regeneration, identifying which builds are affected and if it's best to either cut and re-paste them in new region files or to just keep the entire region file the build is in. Just for your information: A region file covers 32*32 chunks and a pixel on the map covers 8*8 chunks. So a region file covers 4*4 pixels on the map. To check build block and chunk coordinates (F3) in terms of region coordinates, you can simply fill in any coordinate in this tool to find the corresponding region file name (incl. the unique region coordinates): https://dinnerbone.com/minecraft/tools/coordinates/

As test area I wish to focus on two areas I have had some concerns about as I feel I made a mistake in the choice of the biome I used on the map for them: Eregion and Edhellond. I want to check whether it may be worthwhile to provide a better, more friendly biome for the characters in the factions of Eregion and Edhellond by replacing parts that now have Fields of Celebrant biome with Lindon biome, either all or only partially.

For that purpose I started making an inventory of generated region files. In order to get a clear picture of which builds/bases are affected and what to do with them, I require the input of you, the players, who have a build in those areas. Please provide info on the builds block and/or chunk coordinates to me via private FB message so I can get a clear picture of what we're dealing with on how to proceed in the most convient way for all, within one week. So, next sunday, I will comprise all input and decide on how to move forward.
