I have a draft at the 10% scale currently being finished. The roads I had set to import as cobblestone, but instead they came out as snow. I'm manually fixing this in Creative. I will not, however, be cleaning up other edges, nor will I be adding the buildings and such to towns - 10% scale is too small for faithful recreations.

I have, in the last few days, managed to get a 20% scale map that would not break the heightmapper. The heightmap I'm using did not scale up appropriately, however, so I will need to do a great deal of trial and error to have the terrain actually match up to Dereth. This will be quite time consuming: Each draft import of the 10% took roughly 1-2 hours. The single draft of the 20% took 11 hours to convert.

The 20% scale map appears to be large enough that cities could be rebuilt with acceptable accuracy.


Once I have finished fixing up the roads, I will update this post with a download link for the 10% scale map.
I will also attach my recreations of Dryreach [one is scaled to player height, the other such that the buildings are sized proportionately to one another].

I was going to be putting up a download link tonight, but that's not happening now. This is going to be delayed a bit.

12:42 AM - McIntire: As I was working on my Dereth in Minecraft map, finishing up the last of the roads
12:42 AM - McIntire: Minecraft decided, "This looks like a good spot for a snow biome!"
12:42 AM - McIntire: And thus my entire tropical coast became snow
12:43 AM - McIntire: I was able to reset the terrain generator so.. well, that area, at least, is not snow anymore. haven't visitied any others, but I'm hoping I reset the generator to no biomes.
12:43 AM - McIntire: aaand so i have a small continent worth of editing to do in MCEdit now, to clear off the existing snow fall, since it refuses to melt.
12:44 AM - McIntire: xD

Isn't there a snow melting command in the SPC mod?
