A neat concept I came up with, that would use the adventure map interface, that you can use to scan(or import) landscape and then recreate it somewhere else. This could be used on a server where you can let players choose which adventure map they would like to play. It would also make any map self resetting.

This looks like a good idea, I will test it out later. I don't really use Immibis too much, so I will have to refamiliarize myself with it.

One alteration: You would be creating the map using turtles? Turtles could have eight spots for holding items, I doubt that it could possibly have enough supplies to reconstruct a full adventure map.

An adventure map interface is a block that is basically better than a command block as you can use it to destroy the whole map with a single BUTTON! This is a good idea but it is already possible all you need to do is make the Lua code :D/>.

I've already made this. While making it I noticed problems though. First: it takes way to long to scan just a small area, so that would never work. Second: the file size would be well over the computer storage limits.

You can edit the storage amount in the edit file. That is what its for
