Deleting/pruning chunks from an existing save?

[Reika]

I need to regenerate the majority of my save's terrain due to mod changes and the like, and despite hours of searching I have not found a way to remove chunks from a save. I am not willing to wipe the save and start over.

What I am looking for is a functionality similar to what MCEdit can do for Minecraft, deleting chunks on demand (or alternatively, pruning a save to only the selected chunks).

This can be an external tool, a mod, or a mod API hook for me to write a mod to use; any of those will work for me. Is there anything that can do this?

I thought I had read about a delete chunk function but I seem to be wrong.
Maybe delete the whole surface and creating a new one helps.

deleting chunks is not possible as far as i know

Edit: it is possible in 0.15 but it might be buggy

I added the ability to delete chunks for 0.15. It's experimental and who knows if it's bugged so do let us know if you experience issues with it when 0.15 comes out

Did you ever found out a solution for this? I'm trying to do the same thing and see if I can have the Alien Biome mod redraw the surface on an already developed save.

Stay on a non empty chunk or you will die.
