I've searched and haven't found a tool... so I'm posting here.

I'm looking for a tool that allows you to input a seed and it generates the associated map (similar to Amidst et. al.). As for me, it can run on iOS or PC, and would need to support 0.9.x.

There's a couple listed here: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Programs_and_editors/Mapping#Mappers but they are for previous versions =/

Anyone know of anything similar?

There are 3rd party (non-mojang) tools that allow you to enter the seed used for a world or point to the level.dat file. They then create a surface map, which would be awesome in PE because there's no map

Examples (mostly for PC and waaaay earlier versions of PE) can be found at the link in the OP. The one I like the most is

• Amidst (http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-tools/1262200-v3-6-amidst-strongholds-village-biome-etc-finder)

Yes, you would need to get at the level.dat file with either jailbreaking or maybe with iExplore or some such program. Unless there's a tool (which could be either a PC tool or iOS) which uses the seeds (instead of game saves) and generates the map from the MCPE binaries (or loads the libraries itself to generate the map). I was looking for even a hint of where I am compared to my base (which I can find if I'm close enough). Going the extra mile and identifying strongholds / spawners / villages, well, that would have been icing!

But I didn't know of any tool for MCPE that generates even the terrain (biome locations)... maybe someone was interested in doing it just to do it. I was hoping, anyway

And still quite alive after the explanation, many thanks!
