I came across these after looking at my former desert biome north of my village. Half of it is covered in snow due to biome changing. I don’t know how difficult these tools are but hopefully they can be used to solve the problem.

My IP seems to have changed for no good reason. You'll need to use 108.28.80.203 to access the server now. Apologies.

I've updated Tectonicus to the latest version, and installed Minetographer as well. Minetographer is essentially a GUI for Tectonicus, and makes it super easy to create renderings with many more options than previously. It also seems to be a lot faster than raw Tectonicus, and the file sizes I am getting are significantly smaller. I'm still playing around with it, but I plan on uploading new maps for the server later today, with overworld rendering in day, night, and with caves, and a nether map as well.

Is it simple enough for non-Java dummies to use? I really want to get maps of my single player games.

Definitely, I'm really kind of in love with this thing. I'm a GUI addict and this interface is a lot more pleasant to use than Tectonicus' config file. Just make sure you have the latest version of Tectonicus, since I don't think the one that is in the Minetographer download is up to date. You can get the latest version of Tectonicus (2.14 as of today) here. Just download that, rename it to Tectonicus.jar, and overwrite the file of the same name in the Minetographer folder. You should be good to go from there.

Thanks. I'll play around with it now. The last thing I want to see after work is code.

I hope the new project is going well.

Awesome. I can see the huge snow biome where I was lost for hours and two vacant 1.8 villages.

Ok, the new map is online. There are buttons on the top right to flip between day, night and cave (underground) views. Cave views are interesting, but not particularly useful because it's just a mess of stuff. For that reason, I haven't bothered uploading the Nether map. It's even more of a mess to look at than the overworld Cave map and it totally useless for navigation. Even so, I really like this new map system. That three-part map only took up 1gb of space, in contrast to the previous one which took up 6gb and had only a single render instead of 3.
