mcanimalfix
===========

This tool will place animals in your Minecraft map, if there are no animals existing.
This can happen to old maps after upgrading to Minecraft >= Beta 1.8.

It tries to simulate the standard Minecraft animal spawning mechanism.
Spawning wolves is a bit problematic, they only spawn in forest biomes, but it is
(IMHO) not possible to read out the used biome for a chunk. So this tool tries to figure out
where a forest could be (where are many trees?).

WARNING!
--------

Before you do this, PLEASE backup your Map. I could not see any problems, but just in case...

Requirements
------------

* Python 2.x (<http://www.python.org>)
* pymclevel (<https://github.com/codewarrior0/pymclevel>. Just place the pymclevel into the root directory of this tool)
* numpy (Needed by pymclevel. <http://numpy.scipy.org/>)
* wxPython (<http://wxpython.org/>. Make sure you use an Unicode-enabled version!)

Usage
-----

Launch `animalfix.py`, select the directory of your Minecraft map and click "Lets do it!".
Then you have to wait quite a long time. My map is ~ 50 MiB large and it took about 15 minutes to fix it (running on Fedora 14 with an Phenom II X4 965).

Todo / Wishlist
---------------

* An "exefied" (you can not call this compiling for Python scripts IMHO...) version for Windows to make it easier for Windows users.
