Trimming Worlds for the 1.20 Migration - Shout-out to MCA Selector (kbin.social)

I am in the process of preparing our server world for migration to 1.20 and thought I would share my experience with MCA Selector so far. A youtube video from Pixelriffs a few years ago pointed me in this direction.

Some things to note about MCA Selector U/I which confused me a bit when I first used the app.

Left Mouse button selects chunks
Middle button is used to grip and move the map
Right button deselects the chunk

I used a 1 minute rule to select chunks for deletion. This should avoid removing anything of importance to my players. Some smoothing must done manually with such a tight time rule.

Finally, Backup, Backup and Backup again. Just in case.

This looks like a very useful app. Should I add a list to the side bar for useful links like this one?

It is useful and Pixel's video explains it nicely. I am not sure what configuration options we have, if we have a way to link to an FAQ or Tools document in a wiki form, that may be a plan going forward. My only caveat is that we must make this place a welcoming one and I would not want to overwhelm new subscribers with to many technical things.
