The process involves deleting specific data files associated with the Xaero’s World Map mod. These files contain the map information generated during gameplay, including discovered terrain, waypoints, and other user-defined markers. Deleting these files effectively removes the existing map data, allowing the mod to generate a fresh map from the current game world. This essentially provides a clean slate for mapping purposes.
The primary benefit of clearing the map data is to address issues such as corrupted or outdated map information. This can occur after significant world changes due to mod updates, world generation errors, or simply exploring vast distances. Furthermore, it allows for a fresh start when beginning a new world or server, ensuring an accurate and up-to-date representation of the environment from the outset. Historically, this functionality addresses limitations inherent in earlier mapping systems which struggled to adapt to dynamic game world changes.
