I recently made a boo-boo and lost my entire save file along with all backups. I was able to recover my save using a file recovery tool but the regions where all of my buildings are do not load either in game or in MCEdit and when I try to open the file with NBTExplorer it says "Not a valid region file".



Since my buildings only cover maybe a dozen chunks or so, I'm hoping there's a way to read the region file maybe as a text format to just pull out the chunks with my buildings in and transplant them into a new save.



Does anyone know of a way to read the .mca region files, perhaps as text, and extract the chunks I'm interested in to put them into a new save?
