So a few days ago I was quite bored without internet so I decided to use SSP commands and delete all the stone, dirt, gravel and other useless blocks from a large are, while only leaving ores. It looked pretty cool, so I thought I might as well upload the save and such.
http://adf.ly/1Zw8V - Adf.ly helps me out a little bit so I hope you don't mind
//wand to select the areas,
//replace stone air to get rid of the stone
//replace dirt air
//replace grass air
//replace gravel air
then for the other blocks
//replace <block name or id> air
For the lava I had this weird glitch where I had to me inside it, but the command is
//drain <radius>
I don't mind adf.ly. Even for something this trivial, I don't mind it. [As long as it doesn't start a survey, then I just go back and click it again]
Plus, it helps the economy go round!

(Note: I'm sorry for the large pictures. I'm still getting used to the new forum.)

It takes a few commands, after selecting a region:
//replace grass air
//replace dirt air
//replace stone air
I usually turn gravel, lava, and water into air too when I do this.
Basically these are all just WorldEdit commands. http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Reference
Sorry to hear that. Only 5 seconds and it's a direct download from dropbox but if you don't want to check this out I don't take offense.
