    posted a message on Official Corrupted Save Recovery Thread
    Excellent thread! Any tips for locating specific chunks in the world that are referenced within error messages generated in the MCEdit java console due to corrupt chunks?

    Example:

    ERROR:Error reading compressed data, assuming uncompressed: Not a gzipped file
    
    ERROR:Malformed NBT data in file: C:\Users\manux\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\save
    s\World5\b\1n\c.b.-5.dat (Not an NBT file with a root TAG_Compound (found 31))
    Malformed or deleted chunk:  (11, -5) ,  C:\Users\manux\AppData\Roaming\.minecra
    ft\saves\World5\b\1n\c.b.-5.dat
    
    ERROR:Error reading compressed data, assuming uncompressed: Not a gzipped file
    
    ERROR:Malformed NBT data in file: C:\Users\manux\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\save
    s\World5\b\8\c.b.8.dat (Not an NBT file with a root TAG_Compound (found 31))
    Malformed or deleted chunk:  (11, 8) ,  C:\Users\manux\AppData\Roaming\.minecraf
    t\saves\World5\b\8\c.b.8.dat


    Thanks in advance for any assistance rendered.



    EDIT: Further research appears to have helped on this matter. I'm sure this isn't revolutionary info (especially to OP!), but I hate searching for answers to a problem that I've run into, and then seeing threads where folks post the exact problem I have, then update their post saying, "I fixed it!" without explanation, so here goes.

    I got my current location within MCEdit by holding the Alt key and the right mouse button. With that info, I took the chunk coordinates that were referenced in the error message, and multiplied them by 16 to get the coordinates of a block that was part of the chunk in question. With the block coordinates in hand, it was easy to navigate to the problem area to remove the error producing chunk. I hope this helps anybody else out there, I'm recovering from map corruption due to an unexpected outage at my hosting provider.
