Minecraft Region Fixer
Minecraft Region Fixer is a free tool for locating problems in Minecraft worlds and region files, with options to replace or remove corrupted chunks. When an older world backup is available, it can use that copy to replace damaged chunks; without one, it can remove them so Minecraft regenerates them. It also scans level.dat and player .dat files and prints warnings, but does not repair those files. Other documented uses include replacing chunks or regions from backups, removing entities, and investigating world problems. The command-line program runs with Python 3.x, not Python 2.x, and includes options for parallel scanning and saving detailed results to a log file. Its usage guide also describes deletion of broken chunks, broken region files, and excess entities. It supports Minecraft region files (*.mca) and world folders on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The project warns that bugs may exist and recommends backing up a world before use; the tool is used at the user's own risk. It is licensed under GPL-3.0.
